Happy Friday, friends! I hope this finds you well, and someplace nice and cozy and warm as we head into this October weekend ahead. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather this week, and haven’t felt much like cooking. So for something different today, I thought I would...
Loving these new little booties I got this fall so much. And speaking of booties, ’tis the season again for my favorite foot duvets!! If you happen to be in the market, trust me, these are the comfiest slippers ever. I pretty much live in mine all winter long. Having so much...
Hey friends! I’m so excited to (finally!) be sharing with you all today about my trip to France last month, where a little traveling dream of mine came true — Barclay and I got to sail together on a Viking River Cruise!! Like probably many of you, I was first introduced to Viking...
Wishing that I was still back sipping espresso in France, you know, like we were doing in this adorable little cafe near Monet’s water lily garden two weeks ago today. :) Oh my word, the trip was absolutely amazing. And as soon as I sort through the zillions of photos that we snapped...
Counting down the days until Barclay and I leave for PARIS on Friday!!! Oh my goodness, our trip itinerary feels like an absolute dream come true. We’re going to chill in Paris for a few days, then take an 8-day Viking River Cruise from Paris to Normandy, then spend a few easy days in Bordeaux,...
Learning about the world of scotch cocktails (<– never thought about those two words going together!), thanks to my friend, Beth. She recently subscribed to Shaker and Spoon, and decided to host a handful of gatherings last month to share her craft cocktail creations with friends. Such a fun idea, and such yummy...
Celebrating my 2-year friend-iversary with Josefa, my favorite spunky 92-year-old from El Salvador. We were connected through Unbound — an organization that I wholeheartedly recommend checking out — and I was so thankful to receive her latest letter this week reporting that she’s feeling better lately after Unbound connected her with a...
Celebrating my one-year datingiversary with this handsome man, and feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for this amazing year we’ve shared together. Life with him just seems to get better and better, and I’m not taking a moment of it for granted. ♥ I’m already looking forward to another year of adventures ahead! Feeling very inspired (ahem, while...
Alright, who’s ready to talk summer reading lists?? I know, I know, it’s not technically summer yet. But after wearing my favorite comfy sundress, paddle-boating around the lake, sitting with friends around a campfire watching the stars, and eating all the watermelon yesterday on Memorial Day, I feel like we’re close enough. So...
Digging our brand new streetcars that just opened their doors last week in KC. There’s a stop right outside my building, and the energy with everyone milling around outside all day long has been so fun. Making this salad multiple times a week lately. 5 ingredients, 5 minutes to prep, and it always...
Admiring every page in this new cookbook. My friends, Jeanine and Jack, absolutely outdid themselves. Catching up (years late, I know) on the final two seasons of Downton Abbey. And um, wow, I forgot what a total soap opera it is! But still, loving every minute, and obsessing as always over...
Do you have a handful of blogs that you follow purely for fun? Over the past few years, I’ve moved away from following primarily recipe blogs to spending my time enjoying other types of lifestyle blogs, and it has been awesome. I have blog categories on Feedly for photographers I...
