Another favorite gift guide of mine – gifts for well read book lovers! You won’t find any book lights, book marks, or book stands in this guide. I tried to find unique gifts that will appeal to any reader. My absolute favorite gift in this guide is the New York Public Library puzzle. I love […]
It’s my favorite gift guide of the holiday season – gifts for dog moms! Of course I included some chic gifts for fur babies, too. How adorable is the little apres ski dog sweater?! Pair it with the dog mom sweatshirt for yourself along with the leash/wristlet for a winter walk. I also love the […]
Travel gifts are some of my favorite gifts! This gift guide is geared more towards the traveler who has it all. You won’t find the usual neck pillow and passport case in this guide, but rather a collection of gifts that inspire and recharge. Although the travel jewelry case is both handy and chic. The […]
For the hostess with the mostest or that person who loves a luxurious libation, these gifts to eat, drink & be merry are fun and functional! One of my most favorite gifts in this guide is the dog decanter. It’s just so cute! I have the marble wine bottle chiller and it continues to be […]
A chunky crochet pom pom scarf is my new favorite winter accessory (and oh yeah, I made this one too). 🙂 As you know, I’ve been crocheting up a bunch of fun clothing and accessories (see my crochet sweater vest and market tote). My latest project was this crochet pom pom scarf and I love […]
I cannot believe it’s that time of year again but I’m not upset about it one bit! I love the holidays and can’t wait for Christmas this year. I spend a lot of time finding the perfect gifts for our family, and along the way I have ideas for gifting of all kinds. To launch […]
I share so many beautiful James Avery Jewelry designs with you (p.s. they’re a wonderful brand partner of mine) and this James Avery Christmas collection is no exception! I love it all, but these are my absolute favorite picks to wrap up and put under the tree this year. Naturally, I had to have the […]
It’s the coziest time of year for crochet projects and I’ve been busy expanding my repertoire! I wrote about this new hobby of mine in this post, where I crocheted a French market tote and some other fun and cute accessories. Today I’m sharing my most recent piece – this beautiful crochet sweater vest and […]
It’s been a little slow around the kitchen lately (unless you count my go-to of Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi). Paul has been in Europe for work for the last couple of weeks and I’ve been doing my best to whip up something good. I’ve come a long way, but I’m still an amateur at best. […]
Living in a warm climate, I’m pretty picky with my outerwear. I usually only go for staple or classic pieces like camel coats, a sturdy rain jacket, or a trench. But this year I’ve been wanting to add a shacket to my wardrobe and I got the opportunity to do so by working with my […]
Happy Friday, friends! I hope the weather has changed into Fall mode where you live. Here in central Texas it just keeps teasing us. One day it’s cool and the next it’s warm, but that’s pretty typical. Our most recent cool front came in last week and it was so lovely! Really got me feeling […]
Over the last year plus, like many of us, I’ve been trying some new things. Ever since the pandemic began, I sort of re-evaluated the things I enjoy doing and also realized just how precious time itself is. I want to spend it with the people I care most about and when I’m not doing […]
I’ve been a little tied to the house lately to take care of our sweet Lola. Long story short, she will be ok, but we are treating an eye infection every two hours. It’s been a little bit worrisome for us, but I think we are headed into a weekend with light at the end […]
Things have been so busy lately that we’ve gone back to making some simpler meals, but Paul still managed to pull out all the stops on a few nights. I also jumped in and cooked a handful of times and I kind of enjoyed it. Kind of. 😉 This week’s menu is heavy on the […]
It was another month of good reads! I read so much over the last month that I came to a place where I had nothing to read. I flew through my TBR pile and then it was like, oh crap…I’m without a book! In my world that’s kind of a tragedy. I quickly placed an […]
As usual, James Avery comes out with the prettiest jewelry designs for the new season. I’m slowly accepting that Fall is around the corner (what can I say, I’m a summer girl), but these new jewelry designs from James Avery are helping to ease the transition. Each piece is absolutely perfect and I love how […]
Hi friends! I have a quick post today featuring some of my favorite pieces from Mott & Bow. I’ve shared about them before in this post, and well, they continue to be a valued brand partner of mine. And I just genuinely love the quality of their clothes. So today, I want to tell you […]
Hello and happy eating, friends! Paul’s menu of the week vol. 6 has seven truly amazing dinner ideas. As usual I’ve included the day of the week that we prepared these meals to give you an idea of what might be an easy weeknight versus more elaborate weekend meal. But these recipes are great any […]
I’ve always felt that even the smallest things become celebrations when you throw champagne into the mix. A beautiful glass of bubbly is almost an instant mood booster. So it’s no surprise that I couldn’t wait to go on a champagne tour in France! We’ve been on wine tours throughout France before (as well as […]
Part of the fun of traveling to a big city like Paris for a week is using it as a home base for day trips to other parts of France. With an easy to navigate train system, you have the opportunity to experience so much more than you otherwise would have. We decided to visit […]
