A Lifestyle Blog by Erin Gabriel
Today is an exciting day... because today, I finally get to reveal our updated dining room! We had been wanting to make some changes to this room since we moved in last year. Around mid-April, I found myself with a lot more free time on my hands so it seemed like the opportune moment to [...]
In true 2020 form, another month has come and gone... and quickly. It's hard to believe that we're slowly sneaking into fall but given how hot it's been in Nashville, I'm not complaining. I shared quite a few goodies with you last month, so I thought it might be helpful to round them all up [...]
No matter the season, I don't think there's anything quite as classic as an accent of tortoise. Be it in the form of sunglasses, hoops or subtle details on a bag or sandals... tortoise instantly elevates an outfit. Even when I shop secondhand at thrift or antique stores, I always keep an eye out for [...]
When I think of summertime, a few specific food items almost immediately come to mind… hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, fresh watermelon, boiled peanuts and fruit cobblers. Growing up, my grandparents lived next door and always had an abundant supply of peaches and blueberries from their yard. When the trees and vines were exploding [...]
I recently shared a new *to me* boutique based out of Atlanta called ROOTS. When the owner, Gabby, reached out and asked if I'd like to partner, I jumped at the opportunity. Y'all know I love to support small businesses whenever I can (as referenced here), but a woman-owned small business is even more special [...]
I recently purchased this little olive romper and it's insanely good. So good, in fact, that it warranted its very own blog post. I should start by saying that you'd likely want to size down in this one. I'm typically between a small and medium and the small is perfect, even a little roomy (but [...]
I've got to be honest. During quarantine, we've really been flexing our culinary muscles. Cooking with new ingredients, trying new methods - it has truly been so much fun! Enter: tofu. In my 30 years on this earth, I have certainly eaten it many times... but never attempted it at home. I caught a wild [...]
Memorial Day sales are in full swing! It's always a 50/50 chance if I actually take advantage, but this year there were a couple of things that were either on my wishlist (i.e. overalls!) or just too good to pass up. Not to mention some home decor deals and y'all know I've been on a [...]
Now more than ever, we're trying our best to shop small and support local. These businesses are truly the lifeblood of our communities and I thought it might be helpful to share a few different (and fun!) ways that you, too, can support the local spots you love. This obviously includes monetary support (i.e. buying [...]
Having a solid immune system has never been more important, so Dan and I have been taking steps to bolster ours even while we are social distancing. Aside from drinking lots of water, washing our hands and making sure to get a little exercise every day, we've also been making and taking some yummy homemade [...]
