I haven’t been able to blog as much as I might’ve liked in the past week or so because I’ve been pretty busy with work and preparing for our first Hawaii guests! Christian’s family will be visiting us this week, and we really want to make sure we have everything we need to make their […]
Do you ever get super, nonsensically excited about really little things? Yeah, me too. I think it’s so much more interesting to love things than to hate them.

I don’t think I even once put on a […]
Once upon a time, there was a girl who thought all rainy days should mean a free pass from having to perform life; that they should be spent with good music, warm coffee and a little whimsy. She loved when the sky stayed dark after the sun should’ve already bathed everything in sepia light, and […]
I feel like you and I are still very much in the “get to know me” phase. Whether you’ve known me for years and are just following along with the newest chapter in my story or you’re completely new in these parts and only know me as The Closet Mermaid (which is pretty freaking cool, […]
Leading up to Valentine’s Day, I have been working on giving each room a little bit of a romantic aesthetic, just to be festive. And, side note, I love how our bedroom decor is starting to come together! I won’t claim to be an expert on how to celebrate holidays, but I am a huge […]
