You already heard me wax poetic about all things coffee last week, so at the risk of being redundant I just have to say that this week I’m living for my morning cup of coffee. Fall is definitely settling in all around us at the moment. The mornings are increasingly crisp and dark, the sun …

I want to start today by thanking those of you who have taken the reader survey so far! I’m always so blown away by the sheer number of you who take time out of your busy lives to provide me with your thoughts and input and I want you to know how much I appreciate …
Hello, sweet friends! Did everyone have a nice weekend? I know we loved having an extra day to relax and tackle a few last minute preparations in advance of the school year kicking off tomorrow. Actually, I still have a couple of loose ends to tie up today so that the kiddos are ready for …
Friends! It’s camping week! I am so damn excited for our trip later this week that it’s outright ridiculous. I have a feeling I’m going to be pretty distracted over the next few days, kind of like a kid before summer vacation. I’ve loved camping since I was a kid and that love has only …
Happiest Monday to you, friends! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Ours was busy, but so much fun. We went to dinner at a friend’s cottage along the lake, spent yesterday moored out at our favorite swimming hole in the Thousand Islands and just generally tried to soak up every bit of summer that …
I’m a day late with this week’s color palette, because I had to take a day away from the computer yesterday to tackle some other projects. Namely, we’re working hard on that dining room makeover and I’m hoping to have an update to share later this week. In our home I’m all about neutrals and …
Hi, everyone and happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Ours was hectic, but a lot of fun, which seems to be how every weekend is shaping up for us this summer. I’m thinking we need to carve out a few days to just be lazy and sit by the water and not …
Few things in life are quite as nostalgic as funfetti cake, am I right? Which is why today’s bright and summery color palette is making me all kinds of happy. (And has me craving cake, too, for the record.) I’m not even sure funfetti cake is super delicious, but it’s fun and that’s really why …
Hi friends! I’m still struggling to feel normal today, but I think I am definitely on the mend. (Fingers crossed!) Lots of tea and naps have absolutely been necessary the last couple of days, and now that I’m feeling a bit better today I’m having a hard time not jumping back into things full steam …
One of my favorite parts of summer is evening walks and sipping drinks on the patio at twilight. Better yet if you’re able to spend a few such evenings at the beach or along the shore at the lake! You may remember that last week I was daydreaming about a tropical summer vacation, and it …
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a great weekend and an awesome Father’s Day. As we head into the work week, I’ve been finding myself day dreaming about a summer vacation. I’m pretty sure such a vacation is not going to make the calendar for us this year, but a girl can dream, right? …
Have I ever told you that late spring is my favorite season? As a good ol’ northern girl I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love all seasons, because I truly do. There’s something about the change of the seasons that I just love. But late spring is my jam. When the trees are …
