A friend and I recently agreed that Thanksgiving was our favorite holiday; when you remove the stories of pilgrims and Natives from the history of it, you're left with a holiday without pretense- simply coming together as friends and family to share a meal. There's something wonderful about that. ...
The Palm Springs Playlist
Each year, as we head to our favorite vacation spot, we make a first stop to see some friends in the Pasadena area. Our first year out, we and our friends were sitting down for a meal discussing a song that we'd heard that we thought was quintessentially vacation-like. None of us could place the ...
A Love Letter to Lake Michigan
Each summer, as we venture North to Chicago, I can feel my heartbeat a little stronger. As soon as I glimpse that first sight of the skyline from the Dan Ryan when we drive in, I feel like I'm home. Each morning, stuck on Louisville time, I wake up in the 5 o'clock hour, and make my way the block ...
To be Continued…
It doesn't go without notice that I post a whole lot of photos showing these perfect, put-together spaces. I always think of the term "curated" when it comes to do with what one posts on any sort of social media. Whether we're talking about a platform like this one, color-coordinated IG grids, or ...
Kentucky Derby: 100 Days Out
Sweet readers, I find myself once again staring at the calendar and seeing the Derby only a short 100 days away! As we venture into the third post-Covid Derby year, traditions have started to change a bit. I've always heard that the one thing that remains constant is change, so... Here we are! ...

Bringing it Home: How to Not Lose Sight of your Favorite Place(s)
It's no secret that the man and I are in love with Palm Springs. Since we began vacationing there several years ago, our annual September jaunt is how we keep track of the years... Not our anniversary, not NYE, but the view of the mountains and dinner at Sandfish. We always come home to the ...
Coronado Update: Exterior Reveal, Part 1
When we first stumbled upon our house, she wasn't exactly the ugliest house on the block, but you could tell she'd been through it. There was a Sycamore in the front yard 4 feet through the middle if it was an inch. It's roots had jacked up pieces of the concrete driveway. The front doors and ...
An Argument for the Dinner Party
Kentucky had what was considered to be a relatively mild summer. Only one or two weeks did the temperatures creep above the mid-80's, and humidity generally went by the wayside. Happy to avoid the usually swamp-like conditions we have July through September, Bryan and I spent a lot of our weekend ...
