A seasonal lifestyle blog
A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.
Homemade Crusty French Bread Loaf
I am basking in the glow of achievement - I have just baked my first ever LOAF OF BREAD! Real, fresh, insanely crusty and delicious golden bread! I can’t get over the fact that I didn’t mess it up…I can’t get over the ease of the process, either.
Minimalist Avocado Toast
Three blog posts within a week! Well, if anything, Coronavirus certainly is improving my blog-writing tendencies. It is also making me extremely conscious of not eating too much. I am too scared to venture out to the grocery store! Takeout for us stopped a long time ago, too. So, that simply means I am thinking about snacks/meals that help me stay fuller longer, and this avocado toast is one of my go-to’s lately.
Gold Coast
Oh, Coronavirus! The time you have given me to paint! I can’t tell you the last time I whipped up a fashion illustration I actually liked in this amount of time. Three days! Three days of “quarantine,” where I didn’t really leave the house (except to go for walks). Three days that were perfectly busy — filled with work, planning, webinars, computer time, chores….
Sunday Baking: Buttermilk Biscuits
Other than the terribly frightening spread of Coronavirus, which is dominating the news and my mind, this actually was a pretty idyllic day. Over coffee and even a pot of tea, my mom and I worked together on some lesson plans for school (virtual, of course) and enjoyed some fresh-outta-the-oven buttermilk biscuits. The recipe is from The Magnolia Table.
Rupdate: Starting Fresh
The last time I posted a running update or what I call a “rupdate,” was here. It’s not the most glamorous topic for a blog like this, which I typically reserve for creative pursuits and travel. But I was at the gym last week - on the treadmill, to be exact…and I found myself searching for those old 2014 “rupdate” blog posts about running.
