layering for winter & DIY book lover’s giveaway
I was planning to get this post up sooner, but today ended up being busy!! I did some work this morning, ran a few errands, went to PT for my shoulder (I can put on eyeliner again), had a meeting, did a few photoshoots and editing, then Marshall wanted to make chicken pot pie when […]
florence | the 163-year-old pen & paper shop
Once we were settled in our room at the Piazza Pitti Palace, my mom and I decided to walk around and explore until we were scheduled to meet our guide at 4:00. We didn’t have a specific destination but were just planning to meander and wander into pretty shops. Just a couple of blocks from […]

October 2019 Favorites
I have been out of my sling for a week and it’s been going pretty well! The first couple of nights were tough, so I have been wearing the sling to sleep. Otherwise, I’m gaining a teeny bit of mobility each day, but those gains are adding up. I can drive, type, write, get dressed […]
florence | piazza pitti palace
When I was planning out the final leg of our Europe trip, there was no doubt that my mom and I wanted to stay at the Piazza Pitti Palace in Florence again. We made a last-minute hotel change last year and it was one of the best surprises of the trip. Not only does the […]
