Lovely July Things
Recap of a beautiful month July was a fabulous month. One of the reasons being our vacation was smack dab in the middle of it. My favorite place to have an iced coffee … is at home. We made these incredible browned butter rice krispies. Twice. Literally so good. I will share the recipe soon!…

So … about mistakes …
Are we not allowed to make them? The older I get the more I value trust, respect, and communication. And have little to no patience for drama. You know what I mean? Without those foundational elements, it’s disconcerting to sometimes feel like someone unsuspecting could be waiting for me to trip and then at my…

Lovely June Things
Recap of a beautiful month A Fresh[er] POV I adore this post I found on Substack. I find this more inspiring than the home/kitchen/room resets I often see on other platforms. No knock on those, it’s just that this one really speaks to me. Do you see what I see? A flower-filled nervous system reset…

When did we start eating Cheese Crackers?
A 100-year-old origin story Snack time is life. And not just for the kids. Grownups enjoy a good snack just as much. I know I sure do. Just last night, I had a hankering for something salty, so I had a little blend of the Parmesan flavor with extra-extra crunchy. Hit. The. Spot. Amid the…

Easing In
A wise woman once told me (and reminded me and others) to ease into the day. And I’m leaning into that advice this summer more the ever. At home and professionally. When I think of easing in, I think of stepping into a swimming pool slowly, and gradually acclimating to the temperature. Sometimes it’s easier…
