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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
On the Shelf: Skincare
I passed 38 a couple of months ago, and I always assumed that as I started creeping towards 40 that I'd start to see rough changes in my skin. Wrinkles, crows feet, discoloration. A few years ago, I posted on what I'd been doing for face and body care , but lately, things took a drastic shift when ...
The Leftovers… Turkey Noodle Casserole
My grandma was the queen of a tuna noodle casserole. I know that at one point, Hamburger Helper had a distant cousin called Tuna Helper, and for a while in the 80's, for the dollar or so a box of the meal helper cost you, you could make yourself a cheesy, egg noodle soup thing with a can of tuna in ...
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 ...
The Thanksgiving Table
Oh, buddy.
This year we pulled out all the stops.
I'm so stinking grateful that we are where we are. Last November, we were armpit-deep into Covid as a globe, and, as a family, Bryan and I were armpit-deep into a renovation that nearly killed me. I still have nightmares of being ...
Tried and True: Butternut Squash Pie
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this recipe so many years ago, but I know that every year, for some reason or another, it makes an appearance. It's what I gift to neighbors around Thanksgiving, usually what the hubs requests for his birthday in addition to a plain, white cake, and what I often ...
