I’m a huge lover of front doors. I love to look at them, decorate around them, and walk through them. That last part? Yeah, I think that’s where I’m perhaps a little different than most people. I find it so fascinating that people have these “objects” in their house that they don’t use. This can…
Feel free to file this gem under “heavily delayed”. I have started to complete this post two times. Once after my staycation in July … and then originally back in the Spring. But I was reminded yesterday and it felt like I needed to wrap this up. My old childhood church is closed for good. There is…
I’m not going to mince words here. This meal made me a feel like a flipping culinary wizard. I took a bite and said “oh fuck ya”. Out loud. Alone. In my house. I am currently in mourning that I didn’t make any extra. After realizing earlier in the day that it has been a…
It feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve cooked. The last meal was this fabulous garden inspired tomato thyme fish. I’m beginning to crave meals like this insanely good (but salty) fish dish from last Winter or this chicken tagine from several years back. The past few weekends in the kitchen have mostly been spent…
Long weekends are seriously beautiful things. There is something so heavenly and magical about that bonus day when you can do anything you want. And perhaps because you already had two weekend days to do “life chores”, you can do the things that you really want to do – whatever that might be. And this…
I think in a very large part the gardening season is over. It’s unfortunately the month of October. While there are many upsides, I am really going to miss gardening season. I’m also not quite sure what I will talk about in any of my conversations. For the past 6 months, I started and ended…
Photo by Jill Howard Design Studio – Discover beach style kitchen design ideas If I was to keep a food diary (which I’ll never do), people would probably be confused. I really love cooking but also really love having toast for dinner. I consider Kraft Mac & Cheese a delicacy. My go-to snacks are pretzels and goldfish.…
Things are happening. I met with my architect Heidi on Friday for drinks (and eating of course). She told me she will probably have plans in two weeks. TWO MOTHER FLIPPING WEEKS. I am going back and forth between being excited and terrified all at once. But in the meantime, Heidi gave me a few…
I’m wearing wool socks. That pretty much guarantees summer is gone right? I’ve also begun to look at my closet each morning and realize the light summer dresses are getting pushed further and further out of reach. Such a bummer. But I’m a little bit okay with all of this because Summer was pretty great. …
In general, I like to be really prepared for things. For example when I travel, I maintain printed and digital copies of any and all documentation that might even be required. Do you need to see that confirmation for the hotel in Bergen, Norway? Got it. Do you need to know how to potentially cross navigate an…
