Chocolate + Guinness Baked Donuts

March 16, 2017

I often feel like luck is on my side when I find more marshmallows than expected in my bowl of Lucky Charms, but if I'm being honest, I feel even luckier when I come across a little Guinness in my morning donut. ...

Vegan Pumpkin + Banana Muffins

November 19, 2016

We all have our kitchen staples. A food or an ingredient that we're almost always sure to have on hand and that we can use to whip something up on a whim, am I right? For me, those staples are bananas and canned pumpkin. ...

Spiced Chai Doughnuts

September 29, 2016

A crisp chill is lingering in the air, the leaves are beginning to turn and fall to the ground, and we've had a few gloomy, rainy autumn days this week. Nothing makes us crave a hot cup of tea and a warm, freshly baked sweet just pulled from the oven more. ...

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. ...

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 ...

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. 🤍
