Wishlist: November 2015

November 5, 2015

Wishlist sources: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13 I always feel like I neglect November and don't show it quite as much love as I could because it brings with it a few bummers, like Daylight Savings Time, the stress of the upcoming holidays, and the first bitterly cold days of the year. ...

4 Ingredient Super Juice

November 4, 2015

"Superfoods" and "healthy eating rules" always seem to get shot down just as quickly as they gain their popularity. One minute, a group of "experts" tells us that almond milk, kale, or eating paleo are the best things for our health and the next, another group of "experts" is telling us to ditch ...

Hearty Potato + Leek Soup

October 30, 2015

We're starting to enter the second half of fall, which I'm not nearly as much a fan of as early fall. The one bright side of colder, gloomier, shorter days, though? They signal soup season! ...

Can’t Stop Listening: “1989” by Ryan Adams

October 29, 2015

Something magical happened on my birthday this year. A musical trifecta, in my humble opinion. Ryan Adams released a covers album of Taylor Swift's 1989 in the style of The Smiths. ...

Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce

October 27, 2015

Guys. HOW have I gone my entire life without knowing how simple it is to make a delicious homemade applesauce? When I saw that a rather large bunch of apples in our kitchen hadn't been touched and were about to go a soft, I knew I had to act fast so they wouldn't go to waste. Applesauce is ...

June starting off strong, reminding me how much my June starting off strong, reminding me how much my soul craves a good summer golden hour. ✨
A little bang and a little blonde for summer. 🌞 A little bang and a little blonde for summer. 🌞

Thanks to my girl @alissa.serres for always making my hair dreams come true! ✨

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
