Throwing it back to when I was much younger and my only responsibilities were school work and planning my next weekend trip around Europe ❤️⠀
⠀
FUN FACT!⠀
⠀
Did you know I spent a semester abroad in Italy at our design school my junior year of college??⠀
⠀
I’m missing this place and experience something fierce today....⠀
⠀
Maybe it’s because I’ve been crazy busy at work, craving more time to create, or just wanting a vacay 🤣 but today I missed you, Florence.⠀
⠀
I miss gelato for dinner, and pasta at ZaZa, and the secret bakery we finally found one late night with instructions from a former student.⠀
⠀
I miss the architecture, the quaint little towns and the afternoon riposo!! I mean, a country that shuts down for an afternoon nap totally has my heart!!⠀
⠀
If memory serves me, this was taken in Prague on one of our weekend getaways. We took an overnight train ride to the city, last minute, and spent less than 24 hours exploring this beautiful place. ⠀
⠀
Take me back!🙏🏻⠀

These warmer days are throwing me off and have me wishing the sun would stay and the leaves on the trees would come back!⠀
⠀
Anyone else feel like January was a long month?⠀
⠀
I’ve been quiet over here and if you saw my stories a few weeks ago you know it’s been a slower start to the new year than I wanted.⠀
⠀
A dear, sweet friend of mine got married 🙌🏻🙌🏻, I celebrated another year on earth 🎉, and found out I have to have a minor/major surgery 🙈...if there is such a thing.⠀
⠀
Minor in that it’s something I think a lot of women have to deal with in life but major because they can’t do mine via laparoscopic surgery. ⠀
⠀
So....⠀
⠀
I’m over here trying to take it easy and fight the urge to do all the things.⠀
⠀
Hoping that once it’s done, and I get past some of the recovery time, I’ll be feeling more myself and ready to do all.the.things 🙌🏻⠀
⠀
I can’t be completely still though 🙈 and it’s driving Mike nuts 🤣⠀
⠀
I’ve shifted gears to more of a planning and dreaming stage for our home and keeping myself busy on a dream project of mine.⠀
⠀
Send me all the good vibes and patience you can spare 😊 ⠀
⠀
and cookies too...I’ll take lots of cookies delivered to my bed 🤣 please and thank you 😊 ⠀

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas...finally! 🎄⠀
⠀
How is it less than 2 weeks till Christmas?!? I really can’t believe it.⠀
⠀
I’ve been struggling this year to pull all the decorations out and get the house decked for the holidays.⠀
⠀
Not sure if it’s because I’m in denial that Christmas is almost here or that I’ve been craving less is more this year.⠀
⠀
Who is feeling the same way? 🙋🏼‍♀️⠀

In honor of picking up our tree this weekend, I’m throwing it back to last year’s Christmas tree look🎄!!⠀
⠀
I was lazy last year and decided to create a swag with the Christmas lights and drape them like garland around the tree. I used three strands laid in parallel to create the effect and thickness I wanted. I think it took 9 strands in total to do the whole tree.⠀
⠀
I didn’t totally hate it and it was MUCH EASIER to remove them when it was time to take the tree down.⠀
⠀
This year I haven’t totally decided what I want to do yet but browsing Pinterest in the meantime for inspiration! ⠀
⠀
Check out my stories if you want to see the tree we picked out this year! It’s skinny and perfect for the spot we have in the living room!

Who else picked out or put their tree up this weekend?

Holiday baking is underway!!⠀
⠀
So far I’ve got triple chocolate chip cookies in the freezer and added a double batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookies from #sallysbakingaddiction⠀
⠀
I don’t think I will never NOT make chocolate chip cookies. They are so nostalgic for me.⠀
⠀
I grew up baking tollhouse when I was first learning to bake. Trying to figure out the science of what made the best cookie.⠀
⠀
And my grandma used to make all of us kids our favorite versions of chocolate chip cookies. It was such a treat to get a batch with nuts when I was away at college!⠀
⠀
From these experiences grew my love of baking. I’m always testing out recipes and swapping out new ones at the holidays. Always hunting for new favorites that family and friends will love!⠀
⠀
Next up on the list are a classic peanut butter, maple pecan shortbread, brown butter cinnamon crinkle cookies, and my mil’s sugar cookies which are to DIE for. ⠀
⠀
I was blessed to receive a copy of the recipe a few years ago and whip them up every once in a while when the hubby is good 🤣⠀
⠀
They are incredibly soft and not overly sweet which makes for the perfect sugar cookie when you ask a Lowe in the family. ⠀
⠀
I don’t think they could ever image a holiday without them and now neither can I! ⠀
⠀
What cookie is a MUST in your family at the holidays?⠀

Happy Friday Eve everyone!!⠀
⠀
Our house is in transition right now.⠀
⠀
Halloween has come down and the only fall decor left are the mums and few pumpkins on the porch.⠀
⠀
I’m not really one to decorate for Thanksgiving so right now it’s all about the prep.⠀
⠀
Prepping guest rooms for family visits next month.⠀
⠀
Baking and stocking the freezer with goodies for get togethers and gifts.⠀
⠀
And gathering inspiration and planning this year’s Christmas decor. ⠀
⠀
My Pinterest feed has been filled with garland and wreath inspiration and I’m loving it!! I think I’m feeling some green velvet this year 🙌🏻😍⠀
⠀
Do you change up your look each Christmas? What trends are you loving for this holiday season?⠀

Missing these gorgeous blooms!⠀
⠀
Halloween is all packed up! Who’s ready to start decorating for Christmas?!?!?⠀
⠀
Every year Mike and I go and cut down our Christmas tree. Typically we go the first weekend of December but since Thanksgiving falls so late this year we are going that weekend.⠀
⠀
And honestly we usually end up getting one already cut out of the barn. Especially if it’s raining and cold 🤣⠀
⠀
It’s still fun though to make the trip, get our tree, and stop in town for lunch, drinks and a little shopping 😊⠀
The last few years I’ve been using a lot a fresh greenery around the house which makes it difficult to start decorating too early. ⠀
⠀
Black Friday shopping is usually when I start scooping up all the greens for the house. I grab enough for swags around some windows and door ways and stuff to make wreathes.⠀ For now, I’ll just continue making all the Christmas cookies 🤣
⠀
Tell me, have you started putting out your Christmas decor?⠀
