I didn’t write a September Favorites post, because I figured my posts about Paris and Italy sort of covered all of my favorites! (And I still have more to share on that trip, in fact!) As I was putting this list together, I realized I did a poor job keeping track of some of my favorite things for October. Usually, … Read More
I gained 12 lbs in paris
You might think this title would fit better with the post about the patisserie tour, but I didn’t gain 12 lbs on my body…just in my suitcase. Yes, this post is about shopping! I was looking forward to everything I would see and do while in Paris and a few towns in Tuscany, but I was also anticipating the shopping. … Read More
where julia shopped
One of the things on my to-do list when visiting Paris was to buy a copper sauce pot, either a useable antique one from the flea market or a new one from E. Dehillerin, the kitchen supply store that was Julia Child’s favorite. The copper at the flea market was mouthwateringly gorgeous, but it was way out of my price … Read More
Summer 2018 Favorites
This week is back to school week and that means I can have my work day back! Don’t get me wrong.

We’re already 10 days into May and I realized I haven’t shared my favorites from April! Well, let’s take care of that right now. Here were some of my favorite things… AVIARY Launching Aviary was pretty exciting and definitely a highlight… THE PORCH I turned 40 years old (eek) in early April and we didn’t have any special plans, but … Read More
March 2018 Favorites
Can you believe it’s already April? Can you believe we just had a snow storm that dropped about 8″?! Over Spring break?! Can you believe I just turned the big 4-oh and I have joined the ranks of the middle-aged? Yep. That’s what’s going on. Before we get too far into April, though, let me share some of my favorites … Read More
