I’ve always loved getting Christmas ornaments on our travels. Something to add to our tree each year to help us remember a fun moment.

So what better way to spend frigid winter days than with hot cocoa in hand? Over New Year's Weekend we hosted my family for chili and hot cocoa. We had planned … Continue reading Hot Cocoa Bar
Traditions are, and always have been, very important to me. In part because some of my favorite childhood memories have to do with family traditions at holidays and also because I love to plan ahead and traditions are something I can look forward to and expect every year. While I always look forward to old … Continue reading Holiday Traditions
Every year I envision having a beautifully curated front porch full of fall decor. It never quite works out this way no matter how hard I try so this year I went in wanting to keep it simple and understated. We don't exactly have the grand front porch that I somehow always end up thinking … Continue reading A Fall Front Porch

One of my July Goals was to stop going on coffee runs whether it be to Starbucks, a local coffee shop, or the … Continue reading At Home Coffee Bar
