It's no secret that Barb is the queen of this castle. Over the past 3+ years, we've discovered some really amazing products that help make ALL of our lives easier and more fun. I felt inclined to share for all my dog moms & dads, both current or future (in case you're planning to get [...]
During quarantine, we've had a lot of fun getting creative in the kitchen. And since we were both working from home all the time, we could expand that creativity into the lunch hour. One day in particular, I was craving the fried goat cheese salad from Rue de Jean in Charleston (if you ever visit, [...]
I grew up in the company of some pretty serious plant mamas. I've mentioned this before, but my mom and my grandma have impressive green thumbs. I'm not just talking about keeping plants alive - they can propagate virtually anything or take a plant that is seemingly dead and bring it back to life. For [...]
The season of love is upon us. I don't typically go crazy buying anything new for Valentine's Day (see more on that here), but I recently found this *amazing* vintage cashmere cardigan for an absolute steal at Goodwill and felt compelled to share. Outfit Details: denim (my favorite jeans EVER) | the perfect basic tee [...]
I'm really excited to share this project and I'll be brief, because it was so insanely simple that there isn't much more to say.

One of my favorite parts of shopping at secondhand spots like thrift stores or antique shops is finding pieces that emulate current trends. It's a really fun challenge and is much kinder to the environment than other fast fashion options. Today, I'm sharing three trendy pieces of outerwear that I own and love - one [...]
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. [...]
Somehow, some way… we’ve almost made it to the end of this crazy year. The holidays are coming in red hot and so is holiday stress. I have been pretty transparent about the fact that I have struggled with anxiety my entire life and, like pretty much everyone else, this year it has *often* kicked [...]
