TGIF! If you caught this morning's Instagram post, then you know I kinda just want to stay in bed all day today. There's a winter weather warning, and it's just cold. My excuse to stay in my bedroom is to change out these affordable curtains to these inexpensive blush velvet curtains. I'm not sure if it's all the color that I've added to[...]
Happy New Year! Hope you had a great holiday break. We hosted my parents for Christmas and The Boy's parents were here from Germany at the beginning of December. Finally getting the house back in order and returning to the swing of things. But every time I take a bit of a bloggery break my brain freezes up so to kick off this new year, I'[...]
Happy weekend eve! I tried to get this post live by this morning, but I've been busy, busy, busy getting the house ready for a visit from The Boy's parents. They live in Germany and because of the pandemic, we have not seen them in over 2 years. To say we are excited to see them is an understatement. The Boy also wants the house in tip-to[...]
Last weekend we drove to my hometown (Baraboo, WI) to visit my parents and celebrate Zoe's birthday. I'm contemplating sharing a quick recap of what we did and where to find my favorite burrito. Would that be interesting to you? Trying to share a bit more about me personally, but before I write that post, let's discuss what caught my eye[...]
My adult ADHD is really hitting hard these days. I sat down to write a post and suddenly I'm culling through old magazines or peering into the fridge thinking about all the laundry I need to do. So what a better fitting post than some Beautiful Distractions, am I right? 1 - This morning while procrastinating from sorting my magazine co[...]
So many things have caught my attention and pulled me in this direction or that direction. Sharing what has been on my radar and getting me a bit distracted on the web. First and foremost, shoutout to Fast Company for the feature on my TikTok journey. During 2020's chaos and quarantining, this somewhat controversial social me[...]
Have you had an onslaught of, "let's get together" phone calls? My friends are fully vaccinated, the weather is gorgeous, and the kids are back into sports — travel soccer, gymnastics, the whole shebang. A slower re-entry into normal life might have been more welcomed rather than jumping in head first, but I'm here for it. I've missed b[...]
It has been a hot minute since I share a Beautiful Distractions. This is a super quick read with loads of YouTube videos and packed with goodies. Grab a quick cup of coffee and start to scroll! During a Clubhouse chat, I discovered a new furniture company - Four Hands - and I'm obsessed! Check out their latest lookbook of drop-dead gor[...]
Happy Monday! Boy, do I hope you are warmer than I am. We're in a deep freeze here in Chicago, and the only way I've been able to stay cozy is under my electric throw blanket (best invention ever!). I originally bought them to sit outside for a driveway cocktail with the neighbors, but it's even too cold for that. I also noticed that I[...]
