I had never been to a drive-in movie before, but I don’t think that’s entirely uncommon. There’s a drive in about 35 minutes from my house that I believe has been there for several decades, but other than that, I don’t actually think there are that many of them still scattered around the country. Today’s post is going to be all about my experience at the Parkway Drive-In, in case you have been wanting to go to it specifically Read more
I shared my top tips for evoking the feeling of travel during a pandemic, and now I am following through with one of my own tips- make your own afternoon tea! I am so, so happy we did this. It was so much fun and really felt like such a treat. Read more
When I was brainstorming blog post ideas this morning, I realized I had watched a handful of streaming movies/shows recently that I hadn’t shared. My friend Alyson did a post about her recent shows, and I really liked the simplicity of just sharing something like this. There have been multiple streaming hits for me and just a few misses.Read more
I shared my Nordstrom sale yearly must haves last week, but now I am officially ready to show you everything I found after digging through the website for what seems like hours on end. I can’t shop anything from the sale until Aug. 10, but I think it’s fairly safe to share some of these items now- the people shopping before me are those who spend 10K+ at Nordstrom every year, and I don’t think that group is super large/will buy a lot of the budget-friendly picks.

One of the questions I am asked most by my friends is, “What did you register for?” or “Registry must haves?” I think these are both great questions. My mom and I talked nonstop for what felt like months about what I should register for, then went back and tweaked and retweaked what I registered for until it was just right. I look around at my home almost daily and appreciate all the wonderful people who gave us these incredible items to build our life around- such a sweet thing to think about. Read more
My friend for more than 10 years also happens to be my most trusted advisor for all things beauty- she really is so good at all things makeup, beauty and skincare. I asked her to send me what she thought were the best items from the #Nsale beauty section, and she definitely delivered. Read more
On August 1st I shared that I was itching to pull out my fall decorations, light a few candles and make a hot coffee, but I also asked for your all’s opinion on when it was socially acceptable to decorate for fall. Well, the answers were decidedly NOT August 1st, which I definitely accepted. Even my mom who is the queen of decorating for things early thought September 1 would be a better date for starting to evoke the fall mood. Read more
I love rounding up the meals I had been coking last month, and I thought it would be fun to update you all once again. I have really been in my groove when it comes to cooking lately- one of the many joys working from home has afforded me. I was just telling Preston that I can tell how much I have grown as a cook because I made a meal I hadn’t cooked since one of the firstRead more
A few days ago I shared a little bit about the Nordstrom sale, but I actually got a couple questions after sharing. I thought it might be nice to share a little bit here and answer some of the questions I received. This is probably my fourth year shopping the sale, and I have always been super happy with my purchases. I still own everything I have purchased over the years, but I think I owe all that to being really intentional and smart before hitting ‘purchase.’Read more
It’s no secret that I am a HUGE Taylor Swift fan. My mom got us tickets to see her Speak Now show in Nashville when I was in middle school, and I have been hooked ever since. As I get older, I appreciate her for new reasons. Her longevity, her business savvy, her ability to completely reinvent herself when needed. I think there’e just so much to unpack from her career and learn from her. Read more
