I love fall. Sure, the beach & sundresses & cold iced tea are all wonderful things, but there's something about this time of year when the weather begins to turn cooler that feels like home to me. I'm a hermit at heart, so crisp fall weather, warm cozy sweaters & hot cups of coffee in… Continue reading I Love Fall

This summer is just zooming by! We've had such a beautiful August & I've been making an effort to take advantage of every last bit of it.

Please excuse the mess! Princess Sparkle is doing a fabulous job of supervising the unpacking process, though unfortunately could not rescue us from the hell that was moving on the weekend. Moving is an exercise in exhaustion at the best of times, but we managed to fall into that special ring of hell in the… Continue reading Settling In
