sunday morning musings (008)

Ah, if only every weekend were a three day weekend! Not only was having the day off on Monday the best, but the first day back to work already being Tuesday was just absolute bliss. If any of you guys read blogs other than mine, and don’t already use Bloglovin‘ you are missing out! ...

an ode to american cheese

Trigger Warning: this is kind of gross. But you have to hear me out. I can’t tell you when or how it happened, but all of a sudden I love American cheese. Sliced, unnaturally orange, plastic-y Kraft singles. How disgusting is that? Who am I?! I have actively hated American cheese for basically ...

sunday morning musings (007)

I said to Ryan the other day that if I could do anything right now within reason and without any repercussions, it would be getting in the car and driving to Maine, eating a lobster roll and coming home. I stand firm on my choice. More scenes from your pandemic – I have been really loving this ...

summer 2020 reading list!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – time for summer reading! There is truly nothing better than laying in the sun, slathered in sunblock with a paperback getting soaked by pool water/sand in your lap. And even better? Reading that same SPF-scented book in the winter when ...

sunday morning musings (006)

This Office Reunion Zoom Wedding episode of #SGN absolutely got me. I cried basically the entire 16 minutes watching it, and that is not an exaggeration. I am cracking up over this personalized Guess Who game board. The person who thought of this is a genius! Hanging out with my friends in their ...

one more glass

It’s a Wednesday night and you’ve just wrapped up dinner with a few of the girls at a little place you’ve walked past a hundred times but hadn’t ever been to. You’re a casual two glasses of wine deep and feeling chatty, while simultaneously dreading the next two days of ...

sunday morning musings (005)

Had the second wave of spring birthdays this week and it was both special and sad. There is nothing worse than not being able to properly celebrate the people you love on their birthdays. But we are making the most of it and finding ways to make this year special in its own shitty way! I am BACK to ...

my quarantine cocktail

I’ve been in a cocktail rut! I’m tired and/or bored of all my usual drink choices, so I decided to come up with a new one. It’s basically a faux margarita – less sweet and more tart. So you can, you know, drink more of ’em! Perfect for cinco de mayo and the hot summer ...

sunday morning musings (004)

Thought this post on COJ was the sweetest. Since I’ve been Quarantining with my family and not in Brooklyn, I can’t stop thinking about how excited I am to FINALLY hang stuff on the walls when we eventually get back to our apartment. I would love to use some of these ideas – ...

april 2020 things

Happy May! Hope you all are holding up okay. It’s hard not to think about how surreal all of this is and also overwhelming to think about how much longer it could go on. I am trying my hardest to stay positive, but some days that’s easier said than done. In other news, April went fast! ...
