I’m going rogue this week. Instead of following my normal format, I’m going to just go with my gut and update you on random things that I’ve found interesting or new or comforting in my life!

It feels like fall weather here! I just had to get that out right away. Again, I am in no way rushing summer’s end, but how can you not revel in this glorious weather?! The last two mornings I’ve enjoyed my coffee outside and our windows are open. The only hitch in my giddy up Continue reading

It’s the end of July?! What a long month. So much happened. Some good, some bad, some busy, some boring. We’re still missing Bear every day, but are also glad to love on Alaska a little extra.

My Annual PSA
A few years ago I made an amazing discovery on a beautiful spring day. I don’t remember where I found this or when, but I was meal planning for the week and arbitrarily chose a grain salad that sounded interesting. Maybe a chef I follow on Instagram recommended it, maybe I found it on Pinterest, Continue reading

Happy snow day! The winter storm sweeping parts of America finally reached us last night and so far we’ve gotten about 7 inches of snow! It is so cozy and pleasant. This morning I peeked outside to check on the snowfall and the Christmas lights made everything look extra beautiful. This weekend was freezing too, Continue reading

There’s scientific research on habit formation, there’s expansion on habits versus routines, there’s step by step guides on making micro-changes in your life, and so on and so forth. It all seems pretty interesting and useful and slightly intense. Continue reading
