Having my baby at only 32 weeks was wild. Here are a few of the things I missed out on during pregnancy because I had a preemie.
One honeymoon spent in Disneyland, the holidays, new year’s goals, and a case of Covid. It’s been a crazy December over here. Now that’s it’s January, I’m excited to jump into the New Year with everyone and preview some of what we are planning, from travel to buying a home.
A new festive treat! Candied Quince has become a holiday tradition in our home. It takes a little bit more time than most of my other recipes, but it’s worth the effort to slowly cook the sweeter quince down into a candy.
These hand pies are bursting with fall flavor and super easy to make. They’re great for a fall dinner, or can be made into a delicious appetizer for your next holiday get-together.
I love decorating for the seasons and this year, I had a specific theme in mind for my fall decor—Chic Neutrals. Here are some of my favorite decor picks for a festive autumn vibe that last through Thanksgiving (plus, a few of my favorite pieces for Halloween).
We gave our dining room a “glow up” with new cabinets! This has been a home project I’m particularly excited about—it was actually one of my 2021 goals. I’m so excited to share how they look, my top styling tips for shelves, and some of my favorite, must-have serving pieces to have out on display.
Does having a micro-wedding equal a micro-wedding budget? I’m breaking down all the details that went into our super intimate wedding, how much it cost, and how the pandemic ultimately saved us money.
My original idea? Elope—just us, our witness, and the judge at the courthouse. Something about eloping just that felt romantic. So shortly after we got engaged, I started planning our elopement. But our “elopement” quickly grew into a micro-wedding…
’m coming up on my one-year anniversary in my current apartment, and we decided to renew the lease. Overall it’s a really cute space with great vintage features, a nice layout, and beautiful lighting. That said, there are a few things I wish were different about the place…
As I’m writing this, I’ve just passed the 10-week mark in my new apartment. The vibe of the place is lovely and cozy on dreary days (of which we have many—even the summers can be rainy). So now it’s time to decorate the new place and make this living room feel like home.
I’m not the biggest fan of the traditional chocolate chip cookie. I’m particularly picky about texture when it comes to the chocolate chip cookie and I’ve been known to forgo the baking part and just keep the dough in my fridge for a definitely-not-so-healthy snack.
If I was to sing a personalized version of “Favorite Things” a few of the things I’d include are: sharing a good meal, baking, autumn, and beautiful ceramics. (Also on that list is candles, a good book, pillows, vinyl records, and face masks—but that’s a story for a different time.) It should be no surprise then, that one of my hobbies is tablescaping.
Since my overpacking for moving abroad mishap, I've rededicated myself to the goal of minimalist travel. Minimalist packing goals aside, none of my years of packing light or "winging it" while traveling prepared me for what happened this past Christmas.
We are in full-on toddler mode now day! A few thoughts and helpful tips for our current phase in life.
