You’re going to want to stop reading here but please don’t. I will say some things that will sound crazy but if you just trust me, you’ll thank me later. Christmas is 70 days away. Even if you are a passionate “I don’t want to see anything Chrisrmasy until after Thanksgiving,” person, you need to hear this. How often do things get so crazy from October to January that we don’t even enjoy it? I don’t think that’s just me, right? This is such a special time full of so much fun, but it can be overstimulating and exhausting and make...

We live in a crazy world. Just a few years ago you had to pick up a physical magazine in your hand to get decor inspiration.

I can type, which is all I have to do here BUT it just seemed right to not try to take on one more thing so I didn’t (see Sunday’s post. I took my own advice).    Now let’s talk CONTAINERS! We can’t really live without them. We all have stuff and the I think it’s safe to say that the kitchen holds the bulk of stuff we...
