also mystic pizza was streaming so that didn’t h also mystic pizza was streaming so that didn’t help either! 😆
august was our second full month here! still pinc august was our second full month here!

still pinching myself constantly! still feel like i’ve gotten very little done inside the house but getting to watch their childhoods completely transform and getting to watch the sky turn pink over our river every night is what really matters most. 

ready to settle into our new routine but not ready to not feel like i’m on endless vacation… so i won’t!
i’m sorry!!! but also not sorry. i like connecti i’m sorry!!! but also not sorry. i like connecticut style lobster rolls a lot, but a cold maine lobster salad on a warm summer night?! I’VE BEEN CRAVING THIS!!!! perfect for one of our last summery dinners outside before we have autumnal dinners outside!

🦞 lobster salad recipe 🦞

— mix mayo with chopped tarragon, juice of 1/2 half lemon, tb of dijon, salt and pepper 

— dice cucumber, celery, green onions and mix with lobster meat. add mayo mixture and some more fresh tarragon (i also added basil and dill!)

— butter split top buns and pan fry until golden. spoon in lobster salad and liberally sprinkle on the @oldbay_seasoning 

— serve with pickles and chips (or tots but i forgot them)

an easy + super aesthetic little app for autumn 🍂 even though personally i’m not forcing autumn into existence and i’m overwhelmed by everyone doing so lol 

checkerboard cheese, olives and blackberries with dill. i used gouda which slices so easily!

the kids bathroom, pt 1?! the smallest and darkest the kids bathroom, pt 1?! the smallest and darkest room in the house and like zero storage, so i knew i wanted to spruce it up a bit right away just so we could use it more comfortably. i got the CUTEST scallop pendant light and little brass mirror from @bedbathandbeyond along with some other accessories to freshen it up, and we added a shelf across the sink wall for some much needed counter space.

i really thought a butter yellow bathroom could be cute, with the existing vintage tile but the room is so dark everywhere *except* directly next to the window so the color looks completely different on every wall! i started with a creamy yellow, and it ended up looking flesh toned, so i painted AGAIN and i don’t even know if i like yellow anymore? 😆 but i am so not interested in painting again right now so we’re gonna live with it for now...

also, sink skirt yay or nay?!
