Hear me out... I love a julep. Well. I love a julep when it's done well. This is rare. Ask most how to make a mint julep, and they'll tell you to muddle mint (which makes it bitter, in my opinion) with some sugar, toss in some bourbon and water it down. Yuck.
I have a julep recipe from ...
An Easter Table with Supermarket Flowers
The man and I have been making great use lately of our sunroom. While this space isn't nearly what I want it to be (read: I want to make it bigger, drywall the space, drop in a dining light, extend the hardwoods in here, and line the exterior walls with black French doors), after a fresh coat of ...
For the Gals
Admittedly, I am not a Valentine's Day person. Bryan and I even moved our dating anniversary (or, Firstiversary, as we call it) to March 1st from February 17th to get it out of February completely. This is a month when I typically lay low, and let the red roses and teddy bear balloons float by, ...
Kentucky Derby: 100 Days Out
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 ...
Cheers to 2022
The last couple of years have been a little difficult to say the least! I'm wishing you the best this year. Whether you were surrounded by loved ones and bottles of Champagne, or if you were snuggled at home alone with a book watching the ball drop, I hope that this calendar flip brings us a ...
Merry Christmas
From Bryan and I to you, Best Wishes for a beautiful holiday.

Our Christmas Table
I believe that it was 3 years ago (maybe 4) that we bought every black and white buffalo check item that Pottery Barn released around the holidays. From salad plates to pillow shams, throw blankets and bed blankets, what gets the most use is the napkins.
Our house is- admittedly- a little ...
Deck the Halls
I'm sorry to report that my hall decking isn't the best this year. I'm continuously surprised how much larger this house is than our townhome, and that's never been more apparent than the weekend after Thanksgiving when I pulled out all of our holiday decor and didn't have nearly as much as I ...
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 ...
