the sunday series (week 2)

THANK YOU for all the hype about the Sunday blog – I truly didn’t expect everyone to be so excited about it! But I am soooo happy to supply some more Sunday content. So without further ado, here is week 2! Anyone else been doing a whole lot of nothing lately? I swear we have spent more ...

the sunday series (week 1)

HhhhhhIIIIIIiiiiii! Who’s missed waking up to a Sunday morning email? Thinking about bringing back Sunday Morning Musings in a somewhat more flexible capacity… sharing some more photos, a little more nonsense. Going to try it out for a bit and leave some wiggle room for changes and ...

december 2021 things

Well, happy 2022!!!! Seems impossible and I simply cannot wrap my head around it. How how HOW did we get here?! (Can you guys hear me yelling? I am yelling.) Hoping you’ve all made it through the holidays with the least amount of stress possible and are off to a lovely New Year. I personally ...

november 2021 things

YIKES, guys! Happy December 15th (I am the worst.) Life has gotten away from me the last few weeks and I woke up this morning realizing I wrote out this entire post and never actually posted it. So here we are – better late than never I suppose! Hope your Christmas season is off to the ...

october 2021 things

November 1st (er, November 7th… whoops!!) I can hardly believe it!!! How did we get here?! This year is absolutely flying by and I just don’t know how to feel about it. The summer feels like a fever dream, yet it’s also just a matter of days before Christmas music starts playing in ...

september 2021 things

Long time no talk, you guys! The blog has been on my mind lately and I’m going to dip a toe back in and start with these monthly posts again. I have loved looking back on them for recipes and ideas over the last year or so, and had been wishing I’d kept up with them in 2021. So ...

sunday morning musings (036)

Had the latest issue of NY Magazine in my mailbox when we got home last week and the cover was absolutely chilling to me. I immediately read the cover story and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I cannot believe that things like this are ACTUALLY happening amidst a pandemic. ...

sunday morning musings (035)

Late again after I said I wouldn’t be. Siggghhh. When I say I’ve been busy, I have no idea what I’ve been busy with. But I am. I swear. This is the first year in FOREVER that I am ahead of schedule for my yearly Goodreads challenge. Yet, I am still going to stress myself out by ...

november 2020 things

Happy December and perhaps more importantly, happy beginning of the holiday season. Normally I’m a post-first week of December kind of gal, but this year December 1st was it for me. I am ready to decorate everything and soak up all of the holiday coziness at home this year. November felt like ...

sunday morning musings (034)

I’m in a writing slump, if you haven’t noticed. SMH! But I am trying to get back on track with my two weekly posts very, very soon. Bear with me!! I have been a busy, busy bee the last few weeks. Christmas is already taking over my whole entire brain. I am totally consumed with all the ...
