Featuring two small Louisville-area businesses for your Small Business Saturday support!
Away Weekender- While I don't consider B and I to be globe trotters at all, we do tend to travel quite a bit. From regional baseball tournaments for him, driving a triangle around the midwest a few times a ...
Valentine’s Day with Bloomed Roots
Admittedly, I'm not one to celebrate Valentine's Day. February is always a hard month for me, so, usually, I just hold my breath for 28 days (or in some cases, 29) and sprint through it. However... I'm a girl who loves flowers, and this time of year, it seems as if every florist brings out the ...
Black Friday: The Gift Guide
Oh, Black Friday, you're here again... Somewhere, deep down inside of me, nestled in with the exorbitant amount of butternut squash pie I ate yesterday (and the Bourbon I washed it down with), there's the innate need to shop, to hand off gifts in pretty packaging with poofy bows, to stuff stockings ...
Black Friday
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
Do you smell it, friends? No... Not the lingering aroma of the perfect Thanksgiving turkey. Not the smell of the fire burning in the fireplace of your grandma's house. Not the leftover pumpkin pie you ate for breakfast. That crispness. That first, beautiful scent of the holiday season. It's ...
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 ...
