Loafin' Around
Loafers: A Love Story. That was the alternate title for this blog post :) As much as I love my sneaks and have been known to throw on a heel or two for something fancy — I am hard-pressed to find an occasion for which I cannot wear loafers. Workday meetings: loafers, jeans, blazer. Church […]

Do You Have a Dinner Bell?
When I was growing up, we'd visit my Grandma, who kept a cowbell in the kitchen. Whenever dinner was ready, she'd ring the bell, and it would clang loud enough to let those in her third floor bedrooms know that there was food on the table. The sound became Pavlovian for me, and now when […]

Why Crewneck Sweaters Are So Classic
I'm a crewneck sweater girlie. I'm not big on v-necks or hoods (they're not absent from my wardrobe, I just don't gravitate toward them), and there's something so classic about a crewneck — like you could leave any moment on a nautical voyage or get tagged in for a game of touch football. I've been […]

My Favorite Spring Faux Trees
Years ago, I accepted that I'm not a "real plant" kind of girl, and I'm happy with that life. Sure, sometimes I get a bit of plant envy when I see other people with thriving houseplants, but it's not my specialty nor my passion. Plus, I love shuffling around my favorite faux trees from room […]

How to Elevate Your Easter Decor
I think Easter might be my favorite holiday. Obviously, Christmas is a big contender, but it's lumped together with months of stress, so I quite prefer the simplicity and togetherness that Easter brings. Every Easter Sunday, we go to church, do an egg hunt with the girls, and have a big family dinner where Chris […]

For those far and few in-between moments where we actually do need to reach up high, I usually […]
