Fall is always my favorite season (pretty closely tied with Winter) and every year I look forward to doing all of my favorite fall activities. Last Fall was so much fun. Apple picking with Andrew, hosting our families for a fall dinner, admiring beautiful foliage in Maine & New Hampshire, another orchard trip with my … Continue reading Fall Bucket List
Two weekends ago we took a quick weekend trip to Saugatuck, MI. It was short but the perfect chance to relax and enjoy some down time. We arrived on Friday and checked in to The Hotel Saugatuck, located right by the river. When I first looked at this hotel I absolutely loved it. I was … Continue reading A Weekend in Saugatuck, MI
Summer to Fall and Winter to Spring are always major transitions in terms of wardrobe (at least here in the Midwest). Of course the change of seasons doesn't happen over night so it usually requires a bit of layering and being strategic with outfits. During these transitional periods there are a few pieces that I … Continue reading Best Pieces to Transition Between Seasons
Confession (unless you already know me), I plan trips in my spare time. I'm talking, trips I have no intention of taking anytime soon. I like to research different locations and save ideas for the future. My husband jokes that he could pick a destination and I would likely already have a trip planned for … Continue reading The “Extra” Things I Do When Travel Planning

I shared highlights of most of our trip but I realized I never shared much … Continue reading Kennebunkport, Maine
Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I shared the exciting news that we are pregnant! Baby C is expected next February. While we are of course beyond thrilled this first trimester was not easy. As promised I will be sharing a recap of some of the highlights and struggles we've encountered so far.

People will often ask us which vineyards we tried while we were there and the truth is, we didn't go to a single one. Once I tell people this they give me a confused look and say "Then what did you do? Isn't that why people go to Napa?". While Napa is absolutely known for being "wine country" there is so much more to be discovered and explored.
While I am someone who can read just about anywhere, I love having a specific spot to sit and read that has all the right things: comfort, lighting, peacefulness and storage. In December we started to update our bedroom a bit and finally decorate. I used this update as a chance to create a great … Continue reading Creating a “Reading Nook”
