Just a lot more of “the same” around here this week. Mike and I are definitely starting to feel a little stir crazy. Trying to get out as much as possible– walking the dogs, just going for a walk, driving through to get a coffee. With the excitement of Christmas behind us, I think the…
Guys! Louisa from Living Lou is back today with a guest post. I selfishly reached out to her and asked if she wanted to do a recipe round up for the new year. Now that it is freezing out, dining out (during a pandemic) is harder than ever. Mike and I would try to go out…
(Had to push this a day for yesterday’s sponsored post, but back to the usual Tuesday schedule next week 🥰) Another week, done. Does anyone else feel like we’ve already lived through a good chunk of 2021? I’m in denial we’re only under two weeks into this year. I’m already tired. Anyone else? WEEK OF…
This You Need a Budget review is sponsored by You Need A Budget. Remember how I just talked about how proud I am for setting up my life with my financial advisor? Well I have a confession to make. While I work with him for my savings and retirement planning and overall “big decisions,” my…
JANUARY Q&A HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT BOOKS TO READ? In my head, I’d love to say I choose books based on reading publisher news and industry press releases. You know, that I’m super on top of new releases and know the next “hot” book before it’s hot. In reality, I go willy nilly. When…
I’m a little late to posting this, but better late than never right? Is anyone else trying to read more this year? I’m not trying to read more volume wise (I made no goals this year), but I am trying to end every night with reading. I fell into a bad habit last year of opting…
I foresee another year of living in comfies. Nowhere to go… not much to do besides working from home. I also just feel emotionally on edge and the last thing I want to do is put on anything that remotely gives me discomfort. (Thankful to be able to work from home where I really can…
How are you guys doing? This week was rattling to the say the least. I’m truly just at a loss of words. I feel so tired. So drained. Disturbed. Angry. Frustrated. Sad. Terrified. Mike and I were both working in the living room so we could have the news on to watch the electoral count….
MY 2021 GOALS Ready to know what my 2021 goals are for this year??? First let’s rewind and see how I did for 2020. Considering I set 2020’s goals before we knew what 2020 would turn into, it wasn’t so terrible. First, I’m still killing my 2019 goals. My 2019 goals were mostly all about fixing my…
When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!

A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!
@mackenziechilds has done it again! Say hello to Mocha Check, the latest pattern in the MacKenzie-Childs family. I am loving how the neutral but warm tones brighten up my office space! Swipe to see how I’ve incorporated the pieces throughout my office. #MCPartner #MCMochaCheck

Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL.
