the 2020 rosé guide

HELLO! And welcome to something that I hope will become a yearly post – mostly because we had so much fun doing it! This official taste test took place on a Saturday afternoon after I dragged Ryan to 15 different liquor stores in search of 10 different bottles of rosé under $25. When I was ...

sunday morning musings (015)

Last week Ry and I dug into the pierogis we had frozen in our freezer since Christmas. Mom and I make them (from scratch, a true labor of love) every year and this year I packed some up and took them back to Brooklyn. Now that we are finally back in our apartment part time, we have been cooking with ...

a disclaimer: this post is LONG, so get yourself a snack and a cocktail because HAPPY WEEKEND!! x Ahhh I still can’t even believe that this happened! I’m starting to wonder if it’s ever going to really feel real. I’ve been working on this post for the last few weeks and ...

sunday morning musings (014)

We had an impromptu covid-friendly get together on Monday this week and I couldn’t recommend it more. The one benefit of this crazy time is that in some respect, every day feels like the weekend. So, why even bother saving the “parties” for the actual weekend? Anything goes these ...

june 2020 things

Happy July! How did we get here, can anyone tell me?! One day it’s Easter and now all of a sudden it’s mid-summer and were scrambling to figure out 4th of July plans. After March (the longest month in the history of time,) it seems like every month has just gone by faster and faster. I ...

sunday morning musings (012)

HELLO! Sunday Morning Musings is coming to you on Monday/Tuesday this week because WE ARE ENGAGED!!!!! I still can’t even believe it. The last few days have felt so surreal in the best possible way and we genuinely couldn’t be happier or more excited. I can’t believe I am even ...

all the jobs I wanted as a kid

Hello, hello! Today we’re talking about childhood dream jobs. Yep, we’re going there! Most kids grow up with these big ideas of things they’ll do when they’re older. I think at some point every girl probably wanted to be a teacher or a fashion designer and every boy wanted to ...
