Rarely do I blog on a weekend, but I picked up these tomatoes at our CSA market and they had to be blogged immediately. I hope you understand. Salt and pepper. That’s it. And a little toast with onion and garlic cheese from a local dairy (of course). I also invested in some elderberry black… Read More Heirloom Tomatoes
Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything. 1. Be careful with color. Most of my favorite clothing colors are fall–appropriate, especially shades of brown and anything navy blue. I especially gravitate toward those colors as I’m packing away my white jeans and pastel tops for next year. These are all lightweight cotton in nice,… Read More Faking a fall wardrobe when it’s still 85 degrees
I’ve been trying to read more, which probably sounds ridiculous for an English teacher, but the truth is that I have to do so much required reading that it leaves me very little time for reading for fun. Since finishing grad school in May—which helped cut down on required reading quite a bit—I’ve been visiting… Read More Reading Lately
Might as well admit it. I’m in full–on fall baking mode over here. I go to the grocery, and it’s like, “Give me all of your Libby pumpkin!” I played around with pumpkin bread recipes over the weekend. I usually find pumpkin bread almost too moist, like there’s too much oil in it or something,… Read More Easy Pumpkin Bread
It’s a sultry 84 degrees while I’m typing this, but the calendar says October and I am a rule-follower if there ever was one. Pretty sure everyone out there already has this printable, but just in case—and to give credit—here’s the link. These two always crack me up. HGTV tells me this is called a… Read More Hey there, autumn. Don’t be shy.
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I made up a recipe as I went along last night, and it was so good that I had to share it right away. This week’s CSA box was full of autumnal goodness, and I’d casually decided to roast some of it and serve it over rice (as I… Read More All the harvest you can handle, served over rice

Not a sponsored post in any way—just something I researched and tried that I wanted to share with you. Have you heard of the Honest Company? In my years of researching and reading about natural products, this company has come up several times, but I just recently gave it a try. Six years ago, when… Read More Honest Company Essentials Bundle Review
Been working on a few house projects lately. Painted the bathroom a really lovely color called Grey Mist. Ignore the fact that it looks like old split pea soup in this picture. Got a haircut. It’s only been two weeks, but I’ve already had to trim my bangs three times. This may be why my… Read More Life Lately
