Happy Friday! How was your week? Mine involved starting to pull business and personal tax information together for our CPA which, weirdly, I enjoy. The picture above is from Sunday night’s impromptu family dinner. Lindsey and Morgan cooked and I pulled a quick table together with our everyday dishes, (unironed) napkins from this estate sale,…
Prime Purchases
I discovered through my blogging friend Katie that Tanya at The Other Side of the Road does a monthly Amazon link post where bloggers share what they’ve purchased on Amazon. I am always interested in seeing what others are buying and I’ve made some good discoveries that way (like this dog travel bag, also courtesy…
What’s Saving My Life Right Now
Each year, around February 1, Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy asks her readers, “What’s saving your life right now?” The timing isn’t accidental; it comes at that point in the winter when we’re all just about over it. This year I thought I would play along by sharing some of the things, both large and…

Lake House Bedding
We’ve been so pleasantly surprised by how much we’ve used the lake place during the fall and winter. Maybe it’s just the pandemic, but the change of scenery has been nice, even when the weather is cold. We spent last weekend there and I pulled together some things in our bedroom and I thought you…

What My Small Book Club is Reading This Year
I am a member of two book clubs. The larger one has 13 members and we’ve been meeting monthly for 15+ years, which is amazing to me. I wrote about us here. The other book club began very informally when four of us friends met a few years back to discuss Gretchen Rubin’s The Four…

Last Saturday Tom and I went to an estate sale which turned out to be a great one. I shared pictures of what I bought in my Instagram stories (I saved them in a highlight called Estate Finds) but here are my favorites. Twelve brand new, block print, cloth napkins. Here are the backs. So…
Links for Your Weekend
Happy Friday, everyone. What a week, right? I avoid politics on this blog (which feels strange sometimes because I’m interested in and follow politics closely) but I feel like I should at least acknowledge the events that are happening right now. Between the pandemic and politics, we’re all living through a lot right now. I…
A HomeGoods Shopping Trip
We’ve reached the point in the pandemic where a trip to HomeGoods seems like a big deal. Yesterday, I was coming home from an appointment and decided that masking up and seeing what HomeGoods had to offer was the most exciting idea in the world. It’s amazing what passes for a thrill these days. The…
