SUPER EASY, HOMEMADE BAGELS
Jumping on the homemade bagels bandwagon today and am so excited to share! I absolutely love my homemade, easy, no-knead bread recipe (HERE), but after my sister-in-law shared a while back that she makes her own bagels for her littles, I couldn’t wait to try myself! My kids love bagels, but even the organic, store-bought…
FEBRUARY (P)INSPIRATION
Along with the rest of the entire East Coast, I’m craving all the green lately – impeccably trimmed hedges, kitchen garden goodness and house plants, bulbs and myrtle topiary on every surface. My go-to platform for any and all design and decor inspiration is still Pinterest, so since it’s been a while since I’ve shared…

SNOW DAY
Happy February! Instead of New Year’s resolutions, I like to take the entire month of January for some down time to recuperate from the Christmas holiday and my daughter’s birthday and enjoy trying some new recipes, reading lots of books and taking a break from social media and online, instead. We have welcomed February with…
CHRISTMAS IN THE KIDDOS’ ROOMS

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR NEXT CHEESE BOARD
We don’t do many big or fancy dinners during the holiday season, but I always have things on hand to throw together a cheese board and some cocktails for friends in a heartbeat! I posted some of my favorite cheese and charcuterie boards from over the years over on Instagram the other day and got…

This time of year is my favorite for going all out when entertaining – whether it’s just for me, the hubby and the kids or if we’re having friends and family, I like to add all the little touches that make it extra special for the Christmas season. With memories tied so deeply to our…
I LOVE A POP OF CHRISTMAS RED
As much as I love decorating for Christmas with all the muted, natural and organic colors and textures, there’s just something about a little pop of Christmas red that brings it all together and makes it all feel so much more festive! I love to add a deep, rich red and because it’s so bold,…

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are enjoying the start of a beautiful Advent season! I’ve been busily making headway on my shopping list and there are so many pretties that have caught my eye for the ladies that I’ve rounded up a few gift ideas here on the blog! Whether you’re…
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE GUY WHO HAS EVERYTHING
I wasn’t going to do gift guides this year, HOWEVER…..finding gift ideas for hubbies, dads, brothers has always tended to be the most difficult! To get back into the swing of blogging, I thought I would share a few finds that the hubby has loved over the years (I always stick a bottle of this…
PRETTY FALL FINDS FOR HOME + CLOSET
It’s hard to believe that the first official day of fall is next week already, but here we are, roasting in heat and humidity while I pore over wool coats and fun new sneakers to wear into the ground. For me, the change in the seasons is all about texture, natural materials and lots of…
