Cheers to 2020!

I don’t have any lofty goals for 2020. I suppose that is a silly way to start a blog post reflecting on the new year ahead, but if 2019 taught me anything, it’s that you can only plan so much. Instead I’m going to try to just enjoy all the little things that really make my life feel so blessed. Like my first sips of coffee in the mornings while watching our little toddler tornado run through our house. Or seeing Henry learn something new literally every day. Or sneaking a date with Andrew. Or a big hug from Otto or snuggle from Clemmie. We might not be jet setting a bunch this year, but we’ve got a lot of adventure happening in our own little neck of the woods.

Happy Holidays + Home Tour

Happiest of holidays, folks! I’m writing this at 4AM because my silly to-do list made me pop out of bed this morning - my brain just wouldn’t have it any other way. But it does mean I’ll finally get to make this post happen today, and I suppose that’s the silver lining to the bags under my eyes. Pass the coffee please!

Winter Holiday Stroll in Warren, Rhode Island

We are in the final countdown, folks. And it’s around this time when I’ve just about crossed off all the things on my list (ok, nowhere near, but perhaps I’ve just surrendered at this point), and I try to take some time to soak up the hustle and bustle a bit without being part of it per se. Andrew and I have created a little tradition of bopping around our neighboring town or Warren, Rhode Island for a cocktail (or two) and a good meal while stopping in to pick up any last minute odds and ends. It’s kind of wonderful, and will be even more so now that Henry is along for the ride.

Festive Holiday Cocktail - Gin & Thyme Fizz

We are at crunch time, folks. And crunch time calls for a cocktail - am I right? Sometimes you just need to blow off your to-do list entirely, whip up something festive and bubbly and slow the heck down. And this fun, fizzy, festive little number will do just the trick. Served with my favorite gin (ok, the only gin I actually drink) - Barr Hill - this is one smooth way to get through the holidays! Ho, ho, ho!

Holiday Gifting with Serena and Lily

I so wish I was the person that had everything done and wrapped up in a pretty little bow by now. You know the people. Those folks who do all the holiday shopping before December even shows her pretty face. But if I were to be really honest, I don’t think that would be as much fun. I think I secretly enjoy the hustle of finding gifts as Christmas approaches. It’s part of the fun for me. And honestly, Serena & Lily is making it too easy this year. Everything sitting pretty on their shelves will make you look like the most stylish Santa around.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Beekman 1802

I don’t do a ton of beauty reviews on here because, honestly, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to how to do a perfect smoky eye or updo. I’m more of a throw some mascara (and under eye concealer these days) and go kind of a girl. But around the time we were trying to get pregnant, I am became hyper aware of exactly what I was using on my face. The more I researched, the more it became beyond clear to me that I needed to make a change in the products I consumed on a daily basis.
