I’m always looking for ways to bring the outside in—it reminds me to live gently and gather intentionally. Do you do this too?

I am constantly thinking about how I can create solutions for my home that are natural, beautiful, and don’t require a trip to the store. Today I looked out the kitchen window at the hedge that was begging to be trimmed, and in the foreground was the soap dish by the sink. Let’s just say that goey mess on the bottom did not spark joy! As I looked back and forth from it to the hedge my creative being found the answer.

Underpinning my soap cake with a bit of greenery that would have made its way to the compost pile simply and stunningly brought instant satisfaction.

I’ll keep sharing these small wins and would love if you have an idea (and an image?) to give us all ideas I would love to know about them.

It’s blueberry season! If you’re looking for a few tips for the perfect Blueberry Muffins, I’m here for you!

1) If you suffer from muffin tops that give zero indication there’s a single blueberry in there, you may have missed that coating your berries with a tablespoon or two of your flour mixture before you fold them into the mix will cause them to be more evenly distributed in your batter. Dare I say a few will even stay on top?!

2) When you cream the butter and sugar together and add the eggs the mixture can curdle. To fix this add a tablespoon or so of the dry mix into the mixer.

3) If you hear someone say that muffins are just an excuse to eat cake for breakfast, feel free to stick one of these in their mouth 😂

Do you have any hot tips we need to hear?

We Bought The Farm

Yes, it’s true. We bought the family farm and now it’s time to go home and make it ours. I’ve loved playing dress up in the city, but it’s time to get back to my roots and for life to come full circle.

With this new adventure comes a LOT of sweat equity and elbow grease, and I for one cannot wait to unleash my creativity and style on this special home and piece of property. On the list of things to do includes renovating a 70s two story box into something magical for our family to enjoy. My challenge is to do this on a budget. I’m talking a really tight budget since we have already renovated the Little Farmhouse beside it.

Does this scare me? Not at all. In fact, after many contractor-led renovations I’m excited to get back into getting my hands dirty and putting my handy-woman skills to work. I used to be so hands on back in the day, and products to pull off a professional looking DIY are far more abundant than when I last did this, so venturing back into the world of sweat equity has me enthused and chomping at the bit to get going.

Does this mean I will be giving up on fashion/style. Not at all. It’s still me after all. What this means is that I get to add even more of my style in all areas of my life to the contents of this page. Beyond fashion, I am passionate about food and home decor. My style is wrapped up in all of it so I can’t wait to share.
