My Current Makeup!
I get asked almost every day about an item of makeup I'm wearing. I'm definitely a creature of habit and wear the same thing nearly EVERY DAY, day or night. It's shifted a little bit since the last time I shared back in 2019, so I figured it was time for an update. Here's what […]

Casual Friday: Our Favorite Fall Boots
Fall is on the cusp, and consequently I'm now sporting boots on the regular. (Yes, already! I can't help myself!) In addition to my favorite Chelsea boot styles, I did a bit of shopping around because I wanted some knee-high boots. For me it's the ripped denim with the loose knee-length boots together. I have […]

My Workout Leggings, Ranked from Favorite to least!
I came to the stark realization the other day that I own more workout leggings than any other pants in my closet. I've been collecting them, almost without purge for yeeeaaarsss. And with that realization, came the other very clear epiphany that I wear the same ones over and over--bypassing sometimes entire brands, for my tried […]

I still haven't sent our Christmas cards out--partly, okay mostly, because they haven't arrived yet--and half of our house is currently covered in plastic because the painters showed up YESTERDAY to paint the entry and Faye's room and the hallway and Polly's room and our ceilings, finally. We're still short a shower door and even […]

Casual Friday: A dining nook, propertee, burgundy fall shoes, home type by enneagram and more!
Last week I mentioned that in some rooms, I'm getting to the layering phase. Where I hang things, and tweak things, and add textiles and elements that make it feel comfortable and home-like. Our dining room REALLY needs this touch and yesterday, it was fun to take a few minutes to shop our house and […]

Casual Friday: What's the new bright spot in your daily routine?
Even though I have worked from home for the last 11 years, my daily/weekly schedule has changed drastically with the rest of the world's over the last month. I'm deeply missing the hour to myself at the gym every morning and the 20 minutes before and after where I got caught up with friends on […]

Casual Friday : A Kitchen hardware lesson, Greta is 10, My Travel Outfit, The Weird Thing I want for our House & More
This kitchen from Neal Beckstedt stopped me in my tracks this week. The warm peachy cabinets mixed with two different countertops (!!!) and the black and brass touches all made me weak in my knees. And then I started looking at the cabinet hardware--so striking! You know what it's not, but kind of looks like? […]

After 2.5 months, we finally slept in our own bed in our own room last night. Halloween we moved into Faye's room (and Faye moved into the spare bed in Greta's room) and we were told it would be a couple weeks to take out the tray ceiling. But then there was no use in […]

I got diagnosed with Hashimoto's over 6 years ago and what started as a strict gluten free diet has gradually morphed into something more restrictive as the years have passed, as I have had more children and as my condition has advanced.

Something about me is I love to sit on the floor. Even subconsciously I'll sometimes choose the floor over a couch, chair or, well, bed. I think it started when I had our oldest daughter and I found myself sitting on the floor to play with her and be closer to her. And now, 9 […]
