Last year, near the end of August, I realized there were about 20 weeks left in the year.

It’s… [Read More]

Merry Christmas! Plus, adding a little warmth to my home.
It’s a little crazy that Christmas is Friday, can you believe it?

A tour of my houseplants + care tips
Some of my strongest childhood memories involve gardening. I have very vivid images of my mom weeding her gardens, turning the soil, and planting week after week, year after year.
