We're also gearing up to release our second app (coming soon!). So we've been stuffing lots of envelopes trying to get the word out this week. 🙂
TGIF, everyone! Hope you have some exciting weekend plans. xo. Emma + The ABM Team

This is one of my fave features, I just love these kind of posts, more of a creative process…but not just the “pretty photos”, LOVE it!
I have to say this I think the Casual Friday series has become one of my favorites that ABM posts… love the real life antics!! Keep up the awesome work! 🙂
Photobombing is an art form, really. Love this post! Such personality 🙂
Casual Friday is SUCH a great feature! Everything you guys do is brilliant but it’s so cool to see behind the scenes!
I love these photos. It looks like you have so much fun! Can’t wait to see your collab with Anna Rose!
I have to agree! Love Causal Friday 😀
Would it be possible to do a post on easy summer updos?
Greetings from Canada.
I would like a pair of those gold sandals in the first picture! So cute.
So many sweet pictures! Love this!

This continues to be one of my favorite posts! Love getting sneak peaks of the everyday hustle. Also, I’m excited there will be another ABM app soon! xoxo
I love this feature so much! You didn’t do it last week, right? I don’t remember seeing it. I am most excited about the make up tutorials and another sister style. Is Laura impersonating J.K. Rowling?

You guys are gorgeous, and so are your photos! Love your windowsill and the before and after shot of the dishes!
This is sooo cool!!
I love the kitchen, everyone wants to cook there!!

I LOVE that you post pictures of your dirty kitchen 🙂 thanks for all the behind the scenes shots!!
I love that little denim dress you’re sporting! This may be a super weird and invading question, but what kind of bra are you wearing with it? I feel like any of mine would be peeking out from under my arm since that dress seems like it cuts farther away from the armpit (in a very cute way that I love!) like a different dress that I own myself.

so excited to see the upcoming makeup tutorials! you guys really have the best jobs ever.
I’d say Laura looks very much like Emma Thompson there, no? xo from England
Another app?!?!? AHHHH!
Love taking a peak behind the curtain! 🙂
Okay. I just looked up J.K. Rowling. She doesn’t make that face. Doh! I am stumped. And also slightly too obsessed with Harry Potter. Will you be telling us who it is?
I love these Casual Friday posts. It’s more of an intimate sneak peak into your lives. It makes me wish that I worked with you guys. It seems like you’re always having so much fun! Glad to hear your team is growing so much lately.

I love this post so much, it makes me happy! Keep up the inspiring work. paperlemon.blogspot.com
I have that dish drying mat too – in green! Yay! XO you guys. Keep up the fun!
My kitchen is never in-between either…either super messy or super clean. I guess that’s the only way. I don’t mind the messes because it means that I’m cooking a lot, which I love!
OMG, can you say best workplace ever!?
Oooh those creates are purdy.
Also, your photos of the three of you are too cute.
Such cute pictures! Emma looks so pretty in these ones! Like even more than usual 🙂
Sincerely,
Laurali Star

I remember looking at your blog two years ago and my my it has become more beautiful. I found you on stumbleupon and I think it has been one of my greatest stumbles I have ever taken. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your Casual Friday posts; it’s a great way to start my weekend. Check out my blog if you have the time. It is still pretty new but with a dream and a little determination, I hope to make it more successful.
Avec Amour,

I’m excited for the makeup tutorials – and I love the phone in the top photo!! I love this feature – for me, it really enhances your business’ name. 🙂
Please tell me she’s impersonating Jennifer Lawrence. I see it!
totally love casual fridays!!
and every time you show your kitchen in a mess (beautiful mess..) i fell a bit better about myself… love to have everthing tidy… but that’s only for a little while… then i’m back in the middle of a million bowls, spoons, and muffins!!
have a great weekend everyone!
Lots to talk about with this post, I Love it:)
First this is my favorite casual friday post so far, I true behind the scenes indeed.
Second, love your make up,the smokey eye looks great.
Third, I always thought that you would cook your breakfast/lunch and make that a blog post:)

Casual Friday is a constant reminder to me, personally, of how quickly time is flying! Seems like just last week you posted Casual Friday for the first time… no wonder things have been so hectic lately!

I thought it was a picture of Lisa Kudrow at first, so my guess is that’s who Laura is impersonating. ??
I really look forward your casual Friday posts.

Fab photos as always guys! Where are those gold sandals from (first pic)? I want a pair!
Aw, Emma’s photobomb is so cute! I love that picture! And Laura’s impression is so funny- I still have no idea who it is though 😛
I just posted my friday favourites as well (similar post to this). You’re welcome to come visit me if you’d like! 🙂

Love these! But I have to say, Emma- you should totally do the dark eye makeup all the time. You are gorgeous in the photo bomb pic!!
Is the wooden spoon clock coming up?
Miam that pizza!
The storage crates are a brilliant beyond brilliant idea!!

I love casual friday!!!
I’m going to say Ellen Barkin. Spot on.
Where did you both get your clogs? They are dreamy!
I love the clog-type heels that you two wear sometimes! So cute! Does anyone know what brand they are/where they’re from?
Elsie, Just curious who makes the black and white clogs? Love Em!
Looks like a busy but fun filled week! I have to say, my kitchen looks like that more often than not… It’s hard to have a house filled with yummy food and a super tidy kitchen! 🙂
How are the concrete counters working out for you guys? I’m curious as to whether or not there are any chips/stains.
This is wonderful! I love your casual fridays posts!
http://taleofthegreat.com
Wow Emma you look HOT!
Lovely! I always knew about your blog and every time I would google information about how to improve my blogging or photography skills, your guys would come up first! As a result, I just finished your Blog Life e-course and today cracked open your Photo Ideas book. You guys have totally drawn me in as a reader/follower…I’m charmed and inspired! Keep on putting in the work.
omg, where are your amazingly colored hasbeens from???!
excited to see the new app!! if you have any extra envelopes send one my way and i’ll be sure to share it with my readers and social media followers =)
That mint phone would look amazing in my house! Where is it from?

I just love this feature. Definitely one of the best. It’s so cool to see the behind the scenes of an artistic venture, especially one as home-grown as yours.
I can’t wait to see some makeup tutorials! I loved it when you guys all went through your daily makeup and hair routines. That was fun!

Although I love the project posts, I really love the peek inside your beautiful lives=)
Man do I wish I could work for you guys!! You look like you all have such a happy, creative and productive time at work.
Another great friday post! I love how even your messy areas are inspiration! :p
I have to mention that I LOVE how you have a box dedicated to glitter and sequins. xo
