Hi Friends! Here’s another collection of random things I’ve been enjoying lately. If you have anything you want to share with me, I’d love to see them in the comments below. It’s so fun seeing what you all are up to as well. Farmer’s Flame Candles -this time of year I love waking up, starting […]

Once a summer, I take the children I nanny to Pennsylvania for the day to play at my Mom’s house. We left early in the morning, excitement was running high and we were prepared for the 2 hour trip with lots of snacks and our favorite audio books. (current favorite: The Long Winter) I just […]

It’s been awhile since I shared a few of my favorite things so let’s drive right in! The Open Door Sisterhood, On Photography with Mary Marantz. This was one of my favorite podcasts that I have listened too in a long time. She has such a genuine heart and explains the importance of printing photos […]

Today we celebrate nine years of marriage. It feels like yesterday we left our farm wedding in that old Ford truck, gifts piled high in the back and hearts excited for the future. 2 years best friends 5 years as co-workers 5 moves 4 years home-owners 7 years living in DC 3 months of intense […]

Cozy in the new rage right now and I’m all in! I wanted to give you a list of my favorite, cozy items that I always have on hand.   1. If there is one thing that can make a room cozy it is candles. The flame is so welcoming and adds a homey touch. […]

I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things right now and hopefully inspire you for some Christmas gift ideas.    Cluse Watch -this is a staple I use every day. I bought it on Amazon a few years ago and it was worth every penny. It’s made well and looks timeless. […]

So many of you have asked how to take self-portraits with your camera. Since today was the first snow day in DC I thought it was the perfect time to share. It’s a bit tricky but I have practiced a lot this past year and it does get easier. I thought I would share my […]

It’s hard to fully describe this weekend. I met up with two of my good friends and had a girl’s night. Heidi lives in Pittsburgh and Rachel lives in Virginia so it’s rare when we three can be in the same place at the same time. We rented a darling carriage house and caught up […]
