Saturday, Saturday, how I love Saturday. It has been a long week, and we won’t be relaxing much this weekend, but I’m still doing my best to soak in the little bits of rest that I can. I have a fun soup potluck and pumpkin carving night planned for tonight with some friends from college, which should be the…

diy cane bed
I’m coming at you with a different type of post today, but one I’m so excited to share: a DIY cane bed. Most of the time I share food and recipes, but I also love interior design. Since we moved out of our tiny one-bedroom apartment (but basically studio, since the doors to the bedroom…
blueberry lavender streusel muffins
Growing up, I vividly remember sleepovers at my best friend’s house with movies and chatting late into the night, then waking up to make blueberry muffins in the morning. As elementary schoolers, this consisted of mixing the “just add milk” blueberry muffin mix together and waiting impatiently in front of the oven as the fragrant…
link love
Welcome, fall! Welcome, weekend! I’m so ready for both! I went into work both Saturday and Sunday last weekend, and combined with the regular workdays of last week flowing straight into this week, the whole week felt so long. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday all felt like Thursday, Thursday felt like Friday, and I don’t even…
fall fun list
Friday is the first official day of fall and I’m more than ready! via Pinterest I have always loved fall, but in the past few years, the crisp season has solidified its place as my favorite of the four. If you know me, you know that I am a huge sucker for all things pumpkin,…

These slow roasted sweet potatoes with spiced maple pecans and maple bourbon butter are my new favorite dinner. Or lunch. And, let’s be honest, they make a great breakfast, too. I first tried…
charlottesville and richmond
At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about this post. It is a reminder that our plans for this trip took a sharp turn soon after we arrived, but also a reminder of the great trip we made out of plans b, c, and d. Months ago, before any news of protests came out,…
roasted peaches with yogurt two ways: streusel or granola
I’m getting so excited about fall, cooler temperatures, and pumpkins everywhere (yes, I’m that girl). But, before I get caught up in the seasons to come, I’m also trying to appreciate and take in all of the great things that late summer has to offer, including fresh, ripe peaches, perfect for these roasted peaches with…
blacksburg girls weekend
A few weekends ago, my mom and I drove up to visit my sister in Blacksburg. Despite having three girls in the family for almost 23 years, we had never taken a trip with just the girls before this! What were we thinking?! The excitement leading up to the weekend and the absolutely wonderful time we…
