Happy Friday, everyone! This week has been tough. Our house is still recovering from the dinner we hosted last weekend as we have been slow to get everything back in order and put away. So that is what I will be dedicating this weekend to. Hopefully Sunday will involve a break and some time to … Continue reading Living Lately No. 27
Last year Andrew and I decided that we wanted to host our families so we planned a fall dinner for everyone. We had such a fun time hosting everyone that we decided to do it again this year. (You can read about last year's dinner here).I started planning back in August. I know that may … Continue reading Fall Dinner Party
Oh my goodness, its already November! Fall is going by SO fast and I am trying to make the most of it so this has been a busy month. We started the month out with an Apple Picking adventure, then headed to Maine & New Hampshire to take in some fall foliage, hosted a fall … Continue reading November Goals
I have always struggled with the way I handle negative situations. I tend to let things upset me quite easily and have a hard time moving forward. For example, in college my condo flooded about 2 weeks before finals. I was beyond stressed and most definitely over reacted. Was it unfortunate, YES. Was there really anything I … Continue reading Learning to Let It Go
This time of the year everyone is obsessed with "pumpkin spice everything". Except for me. To be honest I really don't care for pumpkin spice flavored treats.

I quickly began to notice a major difference on the nights that I would meditate and they following day.

I was beginning to think that we were not meant to go apple picking. I had never been and was desperately wanting to go this year. We originally made plans to go over a week ago but it ended up being 90 degrees that day (no thank you!). So we decided to try for the … Continue reading Apple Picking Excursion
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
About 15 months ago I remember sitting in my office at work talking with my friend Cynthia about how I needed something that would allow me to be creative and keep me busy (mostly to take my mind off of how busy my husband is with work). She encouraged me to start a blog (she … Continue reading Living Taylored: Year 1
Happy October! I hope you are enjoying the first few weeks of Fall. I always feel so motivated to tackle a to-do list when fall starts. Maybe I am still in the mind set of going back to school and prepping for the semester. Whatever the reason, I hope this motivation sticks around for years … Continue reading October Goals
