For the overwhelmed-with-things-family that’s still trying to have some holiday fun…if you know what I mean ;)

We’ve been in our house about two and a half years now, and it’s really starting to feel like home — so what better time for a home tour? While there are a handful of projects I’d still love to tackle (does the list ever really end?), I love celebrating progress.

I’ve prioritized finding my voice and values more than ever as I entered my mid-thirties. Here’s what’s been on my mind lately…

This is one of our go-to quick desserts that never disappoints. My mom was known for whipping these up and always cooking them perfectly.

Life can get chaotic, but those little devices in our pockets can help us in a lot of small ways that add up.

Hint: It’s all about curating your feed so that you’re served the items you like in a more timely fashion.

In the spirit of my love/hate relationship with meal planning, I thought I’d share our 10 go-to dinner recipes in case you may be in a rut as well.

We are finding our groove back in Connecticut after visiting family for 10 days in Wisconsin for the holidays. Here’s a look at life lately!

I love pairing it with a savory egg bake when I’m hosting friends or family on the weekend. It’s perfect to make for brunch because who can resist a little something sweet?

There isn’t a bad time to reach out to someone — even when you send a text on a random day, maybe that will be just what they need when they least expect it.

I’ve been making this for five years now after my aunt brought it to our Christmas Eve celebration and sent us each home with a bottle. It’s perfect to sip on after a Christmas Eve dinner or while you’re opening presents on Christmas morning.
