About 5 days ago I was thinking about going to Utah and the Grand Canyon, then I realized I really didn’t feel like doing that. I wanted to in principle – but not at this exact moment. At this exact moment, I want to have some slightly leisurely mornings and moderate adventures. After about 4…
I’m supposed to be writing a post about windows right now but it is just not very inspiring. Windows are super important but I’d rather think of something fun and enticing. So that’s how we landed powder rooms. Also known as a half bathroom. Also known as where you run to after speeding into the…
I might have found a new favorite way to cook fish. It is so shockingly easy. I found it when I was flipping through Better Homes & Gardens magazine while eating an almond croissant and watching the tide come in. So, it was clearly a rough day. The picture on the page completed lured me…
After this recent post, I got an encouraging email from my architect. If I’m being honest, writing that post was a bit of my way to communicate that I was struggling a bit. That I felt behind. That I needed a reminder to make progress… and that progress wasn’t permanent. The phase we are at…
The last time I carved a pumpkin was 3 years ago. Tonight was a little different though… the goal wasn’t to make a decoration but rather to make dinner. I first learned about this stuffed pumpkin concept from a guy at work. We were talking about Halloween and I said how excited I was to…
It feels like we are about three weekends into Fall and so much of my weekend pictures have been at a beach during daylight hours. But, I’m hoping my new camera pushes me to try out different locations and subjects. The recent super moon has been the ideal opportunity to try some new skills… and…
I am writing this post because I’m falling behind. Two weeks ago I met with my architect Heidi over a preliminary draft of plans… and then I’ve made little progress since then. It’s on me. I was supposed to review the drawings, write on them, make notes, move things around, think about it… and then…
Oh shutters! Be still my beating heart. There are many things that I love about my old house – but the shutters are my jam. The current shutters are a majestic and deep shade of green. To add a little more charm, the shutters have little pine trees on them. I think I looked past…
I believe we are firmly into the Fall season right now. I know this because all I can see is beautiful brightly colored leaves. I honestly thought last weekend would have been the peak but now I’m convinced it is… right now. So go outside immediately. I also know it’s Fall because all I want…
For some reason, I’ve always shied away from the pumpkin craze. I might have had a pumpkin latte once. The idea of pumpkin cheesecake isn’t appealing to me. Muffins, cookies, etc. Just not my jam. Tomato jam is however actually my jam. Same for bacon jam. But I saw this Bon Appetit recipe on either Twitter…
