Violet’s nursery is such a special room to me, for so many reasons. I was so happy to get to do this room from scratch, to be able to create my dream nursery for her. This room represents so much of what I want for her in life: To be surrounded by beauty and magic, […]

It’s finally here! I’ve been dying to share our home with you since we moved in last fall. We’re just an hour from the city now, but life is very different here. While we’ve embraced the slower pace and connection to nature, we’re not sure how much longer we’ll be here – the city may […]

Making a stovetop potpourri is one of my favorite things to do in the fall and winter to start getting myself into the holiday spirit. In case you’ve never made it before, stovetop potpourri is a super-simple way to make your house smell amazing, made with all-natural, everyday ingredients from your kitchen. I find that […]

When we first started trying for a baby, one of the first things I did was rethink the products I was using on my body and in my home.  In my research around improving my fertility, I learned that chemicals and toxins in so many of the products we use every day negatively impact our […]

Yes, that’s right – YouTube is finally back! I’m so happy I was able to make this happen while I was (am?) still pregnant. I’m guessing it’s this pre-labor energy rush I’ve been experiencing the past couple weeks I have to thank for that! You might have noticed that I’ve rebranded my channel under my personal […]

June 10th, 2021 Every year my husband Jared asks if I want to do something special to celebrate my dead father’s birthday. I never know what to say, how to commemorate this day exactly. One year we got a box of ice cream sandwiches, the nostalgic brown rectangles with the vanilla filling, ate too many […]

A Dutch baby, or Dutch pancake, is one of the simplest things in the world to make, and for that I find it so satisfying. Here I’ve used apricots, but you can use virtually any fruit, depending on the season. The traditional Dutch way is with sautéed apples and cinnamon, which is so nice in […]
