A seasonal lifestyle blog

A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.

A cocktail garnished with a cherry, lime wedge, and black pepper in a short glass, with a potted plant and limes in the background, and the word "Recipes" at the bottom.

A view of a grassy field and colorful trees seen through a window with black framing, with the word 'Creative' at the bottom.

A woman walking outdoors pushing a stroller with a young child inside, holding a drink and a beverage cup. The setting appears to be a park or peaceful neighborhood.

The summer family party is a legendary tradition that goes WAY back into my early years of living in this house.

a dash of red

Shells/tanks are a huge staple of mine because I love their versatility - easy wear in the summer or winter. Paired with this easy, light maxi skirt from kohl's - one of my first maxi prints ever (!!) - it makes for a nice pop of color. I'm trying, little by little to break out of my neutral habit. I loveeee depending on blacks, greys, and beiges...so this is a new kind of direction we're headed.
