the little things! i gave my front door a little m the little things! i gave my front door a little makeover, because a full room project is just too much right now. like everything else in our house, this door was so wonky and we could barely open/close, so i replaced the hardware we had with a @kwikset handle and halo select lock. 
i can control it from my phone and from my google home and i love that i can schedule it for people who need to access our house!! 

comment WANT if you want the links sent straight to ya.

so now i have three questions — 
1. are you proud of me for branching out color wise?
2. should i paint the outside of the door as well?
3. is it weird to put up a brass door knocker on the inside because we have a storm door on the outside!

because toast is better with a cherry on top!? a c because toast is better with a cherry on top!? a cute + simple dish to make for valentine’s day 💘 my kids were willing to eat them because they looked so cute!

🍒 cherry ricotta toast 🍒
- toast sliced baguette or italian bread
- schmear some ricotta on top 
- create your cherry from two cherry tomatoes, two chives and a basil leaf or two!

our new fireplace!!! ok once again, i’ll show you our new fireplace!!! ok once again, i’ll show you more soon— but for now, she’s done and i love her!!

we had the opposite of a statement here and i just felt like a proper fireplace in this room would make the biggest difference (it worked) 

we had the surround built out and my talented husband hand drew the tiles with all our favorite things 🥹🩵 it’s so special!

more soon!

well i’m hibernating… and loving it!? #AppleBooksP well i’m hibernating… and loving it!? #AppleBooksPartner i know it’s early days, winter-wise, but i’m a complete homebody and honestly thrive with lack of social obligations. staying cozy at home with my slow cooker, @applebooks, and ofc the electric fireplaces i’ve put all over my house 😅

right now i’m listening to The First Time I Saw Him (a @reesesbooksclub pick) and i love that it’s really about life before and after a pivotal change — and how you don’t always realize the significance in the moment. feels very relevant to this season of life for me! obviously i can’t wait for spring and seeing all the green pop up, but for now i’m really leaning into the coziness. cozy books, movies, or winter hygge recs welcome!! what should i listen to next?
i kinda feel like they’re not gonna find me? 😆 not i kinda feel like they’re not gonna find me? 😆 nothing more humbling than children!
obviously i’m a winter newbie but here are some wa obviously i’m a winter newbie but here are some ways i’m going to do my best to lean into it! #AppleBooksPartner romanticizing all the things, candles and soups and lamps and audiobooks and tea and and and … someday a cozy bath too!

listening to The First Time I Saw Him, one of @reesesbooksclub picks on @applebooks — i love that it takes place in california (sentimental purposes) and it’s nostalgic without being sad, which is so me (when i’m not sad! lol)
just a sweet little 💌 place setting— i had these c just a sweet little 💌 place setting— i had these craft wood hearts but paper would work fine too i’m sure! 

i painted red, wrote everyone’s names, put them into a box so i could reuse them every year, moved across the country and seem to have lost them lol, but still! simple and cute!
