Many years ago, in the time before Covid took us all by surprise, I was proud to gloat that I'd only missed one Derby since I was 18. In 2017, the hubs and I flew to New York to surprise our always Derby-date, who was a patient at Sloan Kettering at the time. We donned Derby gear, her husband and ...
Wallpaper Favorites
If any of you have been paying the slightest bit of attention to our home reveals, or if I'm lucky enough to have ever had you as a houseguest, you know that I'm a bit of a wallpaper hound. I love the way a great paper can make or break a space. Think of your grandmomma's 1970's bathroom versus ...
On the Reg: Blogs I Read Habitually
Elements of Style To me, the holy grail. Erin Gates is a phenomenal designer, and her new home- a century old farmhouse in Wellesley- is just gorgeous. I often turn to her old master bedroom for inspiration, and her recent kitchen facelift (paint, counters, backsplash), is often shown to my ...
Resolve
I stopped making New Year's resolutions a few years ago, and instead began focusing on a word or phrase that would carry me through the year. In 2021, it was a toast "To Your Health." I thought it meant I'd be on the Peloton every day, watching my diet, and losing a few pounds. As it turns out, ...
A Note on Cheese Week
There was a meme floating around the internet a few years ago with two stick figures side by side. One was smiling, wearing a Santa hat, and above, it read "December 1st-25th: Festive!" The other was slightly plump and holding a block of cheese with a miserable look on his face. Above, it said ...
Elevated Envelopes
I'm big on paper products. I don't mean that I hoard toilet tissue, but I take my stationery very seriously. Whether it's working with Lisa at Missive Press to make sure my personal note cards are always stocked and accurate, or choosing just the right thank you notes, I think that there are a few ...
Steam Heat
I. Hate. Ironing.
I don't know why. I have fond smells of standing in the basement laundry room at my grandparents' house, chatting with my grandma as she went through all the laundry for the week. My grandpa was one of those older gentlemen that wore a collared shirt every single day. No ...
Back to Basics
I tend to be on the organized end of things in life. I'm poked fun at at work often for my binder (that completely encompasses a year's worth of business at a time). I schedule, plan, and budget for our vacations (down to where we're eating on what night and what I need to pack) on a spreadsheet, ...
Derby, 96 Days Out
HOW?!!?! I repeat.... HOW?! did I miss my 100 days from Derby post???
Could it be possible that it's been dang near 2 years since we were able to really celebrate the greatest two minutes in sports? Perhaps we're all in a Covid haze, and completely unaware of what day of the week it is (or ...
