every year, for 5 years now, my stupidly talented every year, for 5 years now, my stupidly talented husband makes an ornament of a food that is special to our family! they seriously get better every year!!

and now the time has almost come! help us decide what @gideonboomer should make for his ornament this year!?

we were thinking —
— double scoop ice cream cone of arlo and izzy’s fave flavors (strawberry and mint chip what a yucky combo)
— a new haven style pepperoni pizza in the box and everything 
— a grilled blue crab like the one arlo caught and we grilled but no one likes that idea as much as arlo 
— soup dumplings, he almost did @dintaifungusa last year but went with @katsuyagroup 

weigh in! ORRRR let me know if you have a better idea!
nicki minaj you’ve got some serious competition 😆 nicki minaj you’ve got some serious competition 😆

our living room, in photos! thank you guys for l our living room, in photos! 

thank you guys for loving it 🥹 i’m so obsessed with it that i now refuse to hang out in the family room lol, so my next goal is to make that room equally as cozy!? except i was gonna focus on the playroom! or arlos room next!? and this is why i can’t finish anything!!

comment WANT and i’ll send you the links for everything!

so now that i’ve moved to ct, i’ve made it my goal so now that i’ve moved to ct, i’ve made it my goal to live a slower life #ApplePartner — and what’s more cozy (and slow) than reading BOOKS?! that’s right, i’m a reader now!!!

@applebooks has made the transition from someone who pretty much only bought books as decoration to a full-fledged BOOKWORM way easier because you can read or listen to samples before you buy, keep a “want to read” list, adjust the playback speed as much as you want and it still feels like a physical book because you actually *flip* the page.

it’s also subscription-free, so i won’t feel guilty if i take a break from reading — but please don’t let me do that!!

you can even follow @reesesbookclub, where Reese Witherspoon hand-picks a new read each month — always with a woman at the center.

i’m always trying to scroll less (who isn’t), so lately i’ve been listening to books while soaking up time in the backyard before it gets too chilly. watercoloring and listening to a book? cozy. cooking dinner with a glass of wine and a book? cozier. walking on the beach with a book? peak slow life!!!!!!

the link is in my bio!
SAY HI TO OUR LIVING ROOM!!! the first finished ro SAY HI TO OUR LIVING ROOM!!! the first finished room in the house and it feels so good! and could never have happened without @thehavenly, i worked with the sweetest designer (👋 @camila.interiors) who helped me come up with such a beautiful and totally grownup room design!

after we agreed on the final design, she gave me a shopping list so i was able to get everything all in one place which made the process like 800x faster?! i still need to order window shades and the ottomans but omggg i’m so excited to have a room done before the holidays. can you imagine a christmas tree in here?!?! WELL SOON YOU’LL SEE ONE!

comment WANT if you want the links for anything sent to your dms!

our living room— part 2! the sad part! was sooo e our living room— part 2! the sad part!

was sooo excited to get a frame tv on the built in but unfortunately between the low ceilings and the large mantle he said this is where it had to be mounted, so basically it’s like touching the mantle and has so much space on top. it’s driving me insane. do I get a second opinion?! 😆 do i put a piece of trim on top? or do i move on with my life!?!! 

anyway the rest of the room is looking so great and cozy and STAY TUNED FOR THE REVEAL TOMORRRRROW!!!!!
