MOM UNIFORM / FALL WARDROBE PICKS
A few weeks back, I asked what you guys would like to see more of here on the blog and an overwhelming number of you asked for clothing/wardrobe picks! I’m the farthest thing from a fashion blogger, but I thought we would switch gears from all things design and decor to share a few fall…
FALL FINDS
Fall is officially tomorrow, but we’ve got a ways to go until it starts feeling anything like it. The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately – cooler temps in the early mornings when I’m taking the littles to school and then low 80’s by pickup, perfect for bike rides and last-minute stops at the park…
WHERE TO FIND MYRTLE TOPIARY
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I have a mild obsession with myrtle topiary. They bring such a sculptural element and a beautiful pop of green to any space and look gorgeous in mass groupings, which is my favorite way to display them. The flowers my little miss and I planted…
JULY/AUG (p)INSPIRATION
Hello, hello and Happy Almost September! I always have the best intentions to blog over the summer, but as soon as my littles are out of school, my focus completely shifts to them and, naturally, the blog gets neglected. Now that we are back in the school year, it’s time to dust off the laptop…
A FOOLPROOF (AND INCREDIBLE) BREAD RECIPE
Homemade bread is one of the few things I’ve always been intimidated to try making myself. It always seemed like so much work, time and ingredients to waste if it didn’t turn out well, and I can’t stand to put all that energy into something to have it be a big disappointment. I’m hyper conscious…
JUNE (p)INSPIRATION
A little roundup of some recent summer pins I’ve been saving as of late, since that’s currently my favorite thing to do after catching up on Yellowstone (also heavily obsessed!) This time of year, I’m pinning lots of scenes from the Amalfi Coast, cedar shake beauties on the East Coast, simple summer recipes that can…
A SUPER SIMPLE SUMMER TABLE SETTING
We’ve been so blessed with an unseasonably mild late spring this year that we’ve been able to eat most, if not all, our meals outside for weeks. This past weekend, however, the temps were creeping and with it, the humidity, so my little miss and I set a simple table indoors so the hubby wouldn’t…
TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR CUT FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS LAST LONGER
One of things I look forward to every summer is planting tons of flowers with my little miss and watching them bloom. The last few years, we’ve grown our share of summer flowers in pots which have resulted in vases brimming with summer blooms on every surface of the house – sometimes, we even run…
VASE ROUNDUP
We’re counting down the days until all the zinnias, dahlias and cosmos we planted a few weeks back are in full bloom and gracing every surface of the house this summer! When it comes to displaying them, I prefer to keep the vessel super simple to highlight the beauty of the flowers, usually opting for…
ON MY RADAR FOR SUMMER
Summer has unofficially made its debut around these parts and we have been loving every minute of it! The pool is open, we’re counting down the last few days of school and we’ve been eating dinner on the deck every night. Still waiting for the water temp to get above 72 before I even dare…
AN AMAZING MARGARITA RECIPE
The weather has been so incredibly beautiful and unseasonably mild for this time of year, so we’ve been enjoying a cocktail with neighbors a little earlier than normal, while the kids either play outside or take a dip in the pool lately. I promise I have no intentions of turning this into a food blog,…
5 MINUTE CHARCUTERIE
Outdoor entertaining season is officially upon us and, for me, that means lots of last minute get togethers with friends and neighbors by the pool for cocktails. And of course, having a few small bites on hand to offer is always important. As much as I love creating a beautiful charcuterie board with all the…
