FRIDAY FIVE
Happy Friday and Happy Last Day of January! I’ve been slowly but surely making my way through as many nooks and crannies of our house this week, purging clutter, trying to organize toys and make my fifteenth run to drop off a few bags to donation. I still have so many spots to hit that…

IN & OUT IN 2025

SWAPPING CAN LIGHTING FOR FLUSH MOUNTS

LATE SUMMER FAVORITES INSPIRED BY THE AMALFI COAST
My littles started school last week and I’m still in complete denial that summer break is officially over. We are still very much embroiled in summer heat and humidity around these parts, so I’m no way near ready for talk of pumpkin-scented everything and cable knit sweaters. Mentally, I’m on the Amalfi Coast, sipping a…
