Whew. I wrote this post last week before the craziness of COVID-19 hit the USA. So I'm altering this post a bit to reflect what we're living through in this moment. Most of the US is moving toward lockdown mode -- here in Nashville, bars and restaurants are operating at minimum capacity, takeaway only, or [...]
Hi, y'all. It's been a week that's felt like a month here in Nashville. As most of you know, the Middle Tennessee area got rocked by tornadoes this week, one of them ripping through my beloved hometown of Nashville. Neighborhoods in the west, north, and east sides of the city were affected and many homes [...]
I haven't done a tutorial in a long time and I'm incredibly excited about this one. It wasn't too expensive, especially when you factor in the longevity that these will have (which I hope is very long). Jake and I have wanted to build raised garden beds for years. It's one of those projects that [...]
The History Behind Our Portraits As you probably know, Jake and I really, really love to dress up. And by "Jake and I" I mean I love any excuse to dress up and Jake is a great sport and therefore a perfect partner for me. Three times now, we've styled Christmas portraits that are a [...]
Who else has happy, nostalgic memories of running around a pumpkin patch and your mom finally agreeing to let you get a donut on the way out? I'm sure it's not just me! Even thinking about apple cider donuts brings me back to bright blue skies, the earthy smell of fragile, brown corn stalks, and [...]
Hi, friends! I'm writing this post to give you a recipe. I have yet to publish a recipe on this blog, and I totally understand why bloggers write longword pieces on their recipes (SEO, discoverability, etc) but... I won't do that to you. I want to say something before you reach the recipe: it's so [...]
this post contains affiliate links Hi dudes! This is a project I did earlier this spring and even documented but have never even thought to post until last week. I was at a party at my friend Sarah's, and my other friend Lucy and I were walking around Sarah's newly-renovated house. It's like exploring a [...]
this post contains affiliate links This is a past project from our first house. I'm super grateful we documented this process (albeit it minimally) so that I can go back and remember how naive we were to think that this would be an easy task. If you're here due to a google search about popcorn [...]
this post contains affiliate links. This post is short and sweet and to the point. If you have been eyeballing one of those thick, plushy, pompom or tassel blankets, this is an inexpensive and fun way to DIY. Same goes for pillows, shirts, wall hangings, garlands, and anything you'd like to add a tassel or [...]
Y'all ready to build a headboard for the sole purpose of making other people say "daaaaaaaaaamn, girl"?! Then you've come to the right place! Hahaha, but really. Hi friends! Last week was one full of rest, doodling, and crafts while I recouped myself from a bout of heightened anxiety and a panic attack that came [...]
