I'm beat. I'm full of turkey, slightly Bourbon hungover, and have a pan of cinnamon rolls in the oven making the house smell just freaking perfect. The trees are about to go up, and I can feel that super warm happiness that I always feel around Thanksgiving, meaning that the holidays are ...
Send a Box of Love
As we roll into a year of Covid quarantine, two subjects have continued to pop in my mind: friendships and local businesses.
I miss people. The hubs and I are together pretty much constantly, and will on occasion bump into people we know at the grocery, while we're out for walks, and of course ...
Black Friday:
Bryan and I are waist-deep in trying to figure out how to live in a house that's about twice the size of our old one. Aside from furniture and wallpaper (and drapes and kitchen cabinets and lighting...), I've been brainstorming what sort of gifts for the home I would love to receive- or give!- this ...
Smells Good, Part 2
Last Spring, I gave you a run down on the scents that fill our home from candles on a regular basis. We still have Bibliotheque sitting in our bedroom (and our bathroom... and the guest room), and the new No. 9 from Pickwick is our go-to for nightly flickering as we're having dinner and winding ...
Tucked In: Black Friday Shopping

Summer Finds at Mahonia
Summer's arrival in a city like Louisville brings with it the sauna-like qualities of the south. Heat, humidity so thick one can practically swim through it, and mosquitos... so many mosquitos. Fortunately, there's air conditioning, there's bug repellant, and there are the welcome warm weather ...
Black Friday: The Gift Guide
Here it is, friends... THE biggest shopping day of the year, so they say. I've never been a fan of the day-after-Thanksgiving early morning rush- I'm a small business Saturday girl, myself, if I shop this close to the holidays at all. Still, "Black Friday" seems to be a national ...
Fall Finds at Scout on Market
When I first walked into Scout on Market several years ago, all I could think was how cool the store was, and how open and kind the owners. Even now, with a massive art collage to the left, and a giant insect mural from artist Kelly O'Neal on the right flanking the front door, I get a sense of ...
Favorite Home Accessories of the Moment
I’ll admit that aside form prepping my home for cooler and warmer months, I’m pretty static in how I decorate. I’ll ponder over the perfect candleholder or sconces for months, then pray that they stay in their “spot” for all eternity. My poor boyfriend can vouch that ...
