a summer 2020 bucket list

If you’re thinking to yourself “what do you put on your summer bucket list at a time like this,” YA so am I. The truth is I really don’t know what to put on a bucket list for a summer that will probably (and hopefully…) be unlike any other summer we’ve ever lived ...

sunday morning musings (010)

Can you believe we’ve made it to ten weeks of these posts?! I can’t. It’s the longest I have stuck with something like this in a WHILE. I hope you guys are enjoying them, because I’m enjoying making them! Have you heard about Daniel Thorson? The guy who just emerged from a 75 ...

sunday morning musings (009)

If you caught Matt’s birthday cake debacle on #jak_daily Monday night, here is the recipe that saved the day. Thank you Martha Stewart! This is also problematic because the recipe was so simple. Essentially you are always just 30 minutes and a few ingredients away from a warm, deep dish cookie ...

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 ...
