I love soup season when I can make a big pot of soup on the weekends to heat up for a warm comforting lunch all week long. This butternut squash carrot soup is one of my all-time favorites and I’ve given it quite the update here with some additional spices and creamy coconut milk. BUTTERNUT [...]

Falling For Fall

After traveling almost every weekend for the last couple of months, it was a treat to be in Charlotte, and to have Finn with me.

Friday Favorites: Fall Activities + Den Refresh
November 1, 2019 { 4 comments }Happy Friday friends. I hope you had a great Halloween! Sadly, we didn’t get to participate in any neighborhood Halloween festivities because we had a 5p flight to Florida but we ended up not missing much. My neighbor friends told me it stormed from 5:30-7:30p so the normal Halloween fun didn’t really happen. It was [...]

Life Lately with My Little Guy: Fall Edition
October 8, 2019 { 24 comments }I’m sitting at my desk working on my second cup of coffee after a very early start to the morning. I woke up at 3a and tried so hard to go back to sleep until finally throwing in the towel and getting up at 5:30a. I read for a while and finished the book I [...]

Processing + A Fall Weekend
October 2, 2017 { 4 comments }I honestly have no words to express my heartbreak over the mass shooting in Las Vegas. The last thing I looked at on my phone last night before turning to my book was CNN.com to scan the headlines. I was shocked and sick to my stomach to wake up and learn about what happened as [...]

Weekend: Embracing Fall + Slowing Down
October 5, 2014 { 30 comments }I finally embraced fall this weekend. The weather here in Charlotte has been incredible with temperatures in the 60s, sunshine and Carolina blue skies. I kept my weekend really, really low-key and stayed home as much as possible to continue this “nesting/grounding” phase I’m in. It was perfect. I always consider Friday the start of [...]

September 12, 2011 { 21 comments }And so starts another week. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Mine felt pretty perfect and left me feeling rested, recharged and happy.
