Zucchini Bread, 3 Ways

August 11, 2016

When I placed a wee little zucchini plant in the ground earlier this summer, I had no idea it would end up taking over our entire garden. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take it! And I’m on a mission this year to not let any of our produce go to waste. ...

Easy Peach + Raspberry Smoothie

Watermelon Margaritas

May 5, 2016

Happy Cinco de Mayo, friends! I've always had a great interest in Mexican culture, history, folklore, and of course, food and drink. At one point during my time in college, I was obsessively devouring every piece of Latin American literature and film I could get my hands on, and spent a great deal ...

Whole Wheat Banana + Oat Muffins

April 17, 2016

Most mornings, I’m in no state to spend time making anything other than a bowl of cereal or piece of toast for breakfast. I’m typically spilling my coffee, forgetting my keys, and tripping over Rosie as I rush out of the door for work during the week, or, on the weekends, am too excited to get ...

Tomato + Avocado Grilled Cheese

April 2, 2016

Each spring, as temperatures start to rise and the sun begins hanging around a little longer, I notice a major shift in my diet and cravings. I still love warm and hearty comfort foods, sure, but what I really get all sorts of excited for is lighter fare – salads and sandwiches, seasonal soups and ...

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. 🤍
