For the first time in YEARS, we are not traveling anywhere for Christmas. While we're certainly sad to miss out on the time spent with our family and friends that we rarely get to see... we're also excited about the prospect of having this slow, one-on-one time at home to cook, eat, snuggle Barb and [...]
It's the most festive two weeks of the year, and even though we'll be spending it at home this year, I'm still planning to dress up here and there and get in the holiday spirit. I love bringing out some of my more unique statement items, all of which I see regularly when shopping secondhand. [...]

Happy Sunday! I can't really explain it, but I tend to feel way more compelled to bake on this particular day of the week. This morning, I got up, brewed a pot of coffee and immediately started making these yummy pumpkin muffins. They're a variation of a pumpkin bread recipe from my dear friend, Madison [...]
I am so excited to share this post with you today. Blame boredom or maybe a surge of creative energy... but I recently got a wild hair and decided to attempt a fun paint project in our mudroom. I had seen quite a few painted arches popping up on some of the home decor and [...]
I love fall. Once the temperatures drop, I get so excited to put together different looks based on current trends. My approach to fashion and styling has changed over the last few years - while I do still purchase a new piece here or there each season, I have been making a much more conscious [...]
