I love it when my favorite things become reader favorites, too! This month, what C&C readers are currently loving is once again, all about summer. I can’t blame you when it seems the whole world is experiencing a heat wave every day. August is also still summer to me. I don’t believe summer is over […]
When August rolls around I’m just reminded that summer is, sadly, coming to a close. There are so many things I love about summer that I wish could keep going all year, like sunny days at the pool and baseball games. But just because the seasons change doesn’t mean that everything we love about summer […]
Well, I am officially a dog mom of two fur babies! If you’ve been following along for any bit of time then you know we already have Bella, our sweet 11 year old yellow lab. My dog mom life has been consumed with her for the majority of our marriage, and has spanned two cities […]
We’ve had such a busy summer so far, but I still managed to get some reading in. I used to have a job where I felt like I had to constantly keep up with a certain amount of books per year and they all had to be specific genres. Now, I have the flexibility to […]
Every year when summer rolls around, I want to do as they say – all the things! Time slows down, the days are longer, and I’m feeling like anything is possible. Summer is a little like having an endless string of Fridays (my favorite day of the week). My 2019 summer bucket list is something […]
I haven’t shared reader favorites with you yet, but it’s definitely time. I thought I would share simply because you guys found a lot to love either here on the blog or via Instagram – and I want to say thanks! It makes me so happy to share products that I use and wear in […]
Here’s to a short week! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with your families, reflecting on all we have to be thankful for and those who put their lives on the line for us each and every day. I also think of it as the unofficial start to summer, and with […]
Ok, no one is calling anyone a dummy here, but there was a time when I didn’t have a clue what aperitivo meant. And given the latest “war” on the Aperol spritz (read Rebekah Peppler’s New York Times article here), I wanted to share an easy way to enjoy aperitivo hour and my passion for […]
Amazon continues to be a treasure trove of fun, beautiful, and functional items. This round up of my Amazon Favorites includes things I recently purchased and things I am eyeing! I posted on stories about our recent pantry overhaul. It really wasn’t that bad, but after nearly 4 years in our new house, it was […]
Happy weekend! It’s here…we made it. It’s been almost 3 full weeks as a full-time blogger and I AM LOVING IT! Sorry for shouting, but yeah it’s pretty awesome. My day is so full and I find myself going to bed at night with a list of things to accomplish the next day. I’m also […]
If you can’t spend time with mom on Mother’s Day, you can always make sure she feels special with a fun gift. I rounded up some things that I think are not only beautiful but make mom feel appreciated. I love giving gifts more than receiving them. There’s something fun about selecting that “just right” […]
I’ve thought about what it would be like to actually write this post, and now that I’m writing it, it’s equal parts surreal, scary, and exciting all at the same time. Grab a drink and settle in. It’s about to get personal. If you’ve been reading Cathedrals & Cafes since the beginning, then you know […]
Last week I was in need of a mood booster and realized I hadn’t been to Target in ages. It’s pretty much the one store I can get lost in for a couple hours and come out feeling like a million bucks (and hoping I haven’t spent that). Just kidding. But you know the drill. […]
The title of this blog post probably confuses you – Erin’s suggesting something other than wine?! It’s true that bringing a bottle of wine to a dinner party has been my go-to for ever. And I’m willing to bet that a lot of you have done the same thing. Why do we reach for a […]
I know what you’re thinking. It’s too early for a monthly Instagram roundup, Erin! But the truth is, the rest of the week we are traveling and by the time we get back February will by all intents and purposes come to a close. The exciting thing is that we are ending the month in […]
Hello, hello…as Valentine’s week comes to a close (we’re not celebrating officially until tomorrow), I thought I would round up a few of my favorite loves from around the web this week. But first, I want to talk about these bell bottom jeans from Urban Provisions, because [insert all the heart eyes]! When I first […]
Do you partake in the Valentine’s Day hooplah? I think the holiday probably gets a bit out of hand, but I do like an excuse for doing something extra special with my husband. And I love finding a sweet little gift or two. Maybe Galentine’s Day is more your speed? I love getting together with […]
I am pretty excited to share my closet tour with you all! This post has been a long time coming. I sent out a poll on Instagram stories to see if you’d be interested in a closet tour and you responded overwhelmingly with a yes. I was also surprised by how many of you wanted […]
Everyone gets a little reflective and nostalgic this time of year, myself not excluded. 2018 was a pretty awesome year! We traveled so much (something you all know that I’m really passionate about), and 2019 is shaping up to be another big year in that department. I shared a little about our upcoming trips in […]
If you’re still not done with your holiday shopping, let me help with some last minute gifts – all of which are $50 and under. I’ve been so good this year in getting my shopping done early, but there have been some years where we’ve shopped literally on Christmas Eve. Stress level aside, Christmas Eve […]
