Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

November 9, 2019

The colder weather doesn’t deter me from enjoying a good smoothie for breakfast! Although, I do sometimes find myself craving something a little less tropical than my go-to summer smoothies once fall and winter roll around. Luckily, it's super easy to switch things up by adding some in-season fruits ...

Cold Brew Cinnamon Rolls

April 16, 2019

There's no better way to start the morning than with a strong cup of coffee — unless, by chance, there are also sweets involved. And I say, why not have both? These soft, vegan baked cinnamon rolls, drizzled with a healthy pour of cold brew-infused icing, are the perfect combination. ...

Easy Tofu Veggie Scramble

February 12, 2019

If you know me, you know how much I love brunch. And you may also know that I’ve pretty much completely done away with eggs in my diet over the past year or so. So, while I can usually find plenty on the menu for a brunch date, a breakfast scramble or omelet is often missing from my plate. ...

Slow Cooker Sundays: Spiced Pumpkin + Apple Oatmeal

November 5, 2017

Getting out of a warm, cozy bed on a dark, chilly fall morning can be hard. Unless, of course, there's some kind of incentive to do so. Like, the smell of pumpkin and spice and everything nice drifting through the house, and the realization that a hot, filling breakfast is already made. ...

Baked Carrot Cake Donuts

March 26, 2016

Sometimes I miss waking up on Easter Sundays all giddy, knowing that the Easter Bunny had hopped his way on through our home and hidden a basket for me and one for my little brother somewhere inside the house, and a few candy and coin-filled eggs in the backyard. ...

Whole Wheat Banana Waffles

January 16, 2016

Last year, Jeremy and I tried to start one of our very first traditions together – a rather simple one: enjoying brunch together every Sunday. It’s the only day of the week that we both typically have off of work and get to see each other for more than an hour or two at a time, and we always do our ...

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. ✨

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. 🤍
