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
It feels so good to finally say, we finished our honeymoon video!!! It’s safe to say I never thought it would take almost seven months for us to find the time to edit it completely, but better late than never. One of the aspects of marriage I wasn’t fully prepared for was just the lack of wanting to do anything else but be together, especially in the first few months! Even when we’re just watching TV, I love not being on my phone or computer or Read more
