🍁 A little note to ease into your Saturday ✨
Notes from my home to yours 💕 Happy weekend, Reader! We had our first Nor’easter of the season early this week. Does anyone else feel like the coziness indoors levels up several notches during stormy weather? It’s quite possibly one of my favorite things during the fall and winter cozy season - snuggle under a blanket, hot drink in hand and settle in for some comfort shows. I also took the opportunity to take some time refreshing the visuals in the evening salon. The evening salon is simply...
READ POST🌱 Changes ✨
Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hi Reader! I’ve been considering changing things up around here. Not just around my home through major decluttering and removing decades of accumulated junk, but around here in regard to my newsletter. Today’s weekly newsletter marks the 40th issue. Can you believe we’ve lived through 40 weeks this year? More than 40 weeks! And what I’ve noticed as I’ve settled into the routine of writing these up for you, is that I quite like sharing my thoughts and...
READ POST🍂 Gently Ushering in Fall ✨
Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hi Reader! I’ve decided that this is the week I gently begin the work of transitioning my home from summer to fall. Trader Joe’s had their pallets of small pumpkins and gourds already and since I jump at the chance to grab a few the minute I can, that what I did. So those were added to our kitchen table last week, which you know. Over the weekend, I found these pillow covers to replace the summer-themed ones for the front porch. And I love them because they...
READ POST🌾 La-di-da 'tis Autumn ✨
Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hi Reader! It’s officially fall. I love this time of year! It’s still a little warm for my liking but I’ve noticed it’s a different kind of heat than the heat of summer. Maybe it’s got something to do with the tilt of the earth? Whatever the reason is, it’s the time of year to do fun and fall-ish things. Here’s a list from off the top of my head that I’m looking forward to: Going on adventures with my Beau. The scent of fallen leaves. The late afternoon...
READ POST💕 Thoughts While Doing Chores ✨
Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hi Reader! I’ve been trying to practice being present these days. I’ve been trying to remind myself to take the time to work through the regular maintenance of homelife. It’s ok to take the time it takes to do the chores needed to be done to reset your spaces. It’s really a bad and unhealthy habit to break, thinking everything domestic needs to be rushed through. There’s enough time to get it all done. Just keep at it. That’s what I’d like to encourage you...
READ POST💕 Coziness Perfect for September ✨
Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hi Reader! I am happy to report that I have been thoroughly enjoying the front porch! It has become one of my favorite spots at home. Both to sit in the morning with my cup of coffee and having my quiet time and just to stand in the door and gaze at how peaceful it is now. If there’s a chill in the early morning air, I wrap a blanket over myself and man-oh-man, is that cozy! Do you have a favorite cozy spot in your home? If you’re stumped for some ideas on...
READ POST👀 Eye-opening Revelations ✨
Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hi Reader! I had a pretty eye-opening revelation the other day. I was washing some dishes that had been left to soak overnight in the kitchen sink and it dawned on me: my default is to rush through these types of chores. Which is incongruous when you have a blog about homemaking. And you talk a lot about slowing down and taking the time to enjoy the art of homemaking. It made me wonder, is rushing through housekeeping type work a leftover from my corporate...
