Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie

March 16, 2016

I have to admit that during my time abroad in England and Ireland, while I never had any trouble finding delicious foods to enjoy, I often felt like I was missing out with all of the “Sunday Roast,” “Cornish Pasty,” and “Shepherd’s Pie” staples and specials featured at nearly every restaurant and ...

Banoffee Pie

March 14, 2016

Happy Pi Day to all of you math (and pie) lovers out there! I’m not a huge fan of numbers and equations, but I AM a huge fan of pie. And I suppose when making pie, most of the time, you have to practice your fractions and conversions and measurements and such, and so I suppose you could say I’m okay ...

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 ...

Festive Gingerbread Layer Cake

December 17, 2015

If I had to choose only one dessert to enjoy for the rest of my days, it would be cake. Any kind of cake, really, in any kind of form – a regular slice of cake, cupcakes, cake pops... if “cake” is in the name, I’m sold. ...

Holiday Chocolate Bark

December 14, 2015

So, how crazy have the past couple of weeks been for you? Between work, birthdays, family dinners, the final stages of purchasing a house, volunteering, winter recitals and performances, open houses, networking events, and a relentless cold, the holidays are kind of the last thing on our minds at ...

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. ✨

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. 🤍
