While I’m standing in the kitchen making hot wings and hoping I don’t burn down the kitchen (not a fan of the broiler lately..), I figured I would share some pictures!
I’ve seen other people do this, so I thought maybe it would be a good way to get me back into blogging, posting Instagrams periodically on a week-ish bases. Also, I’m writing this on my n...
We went for a walk and I took some pics using the Instagram app because yay I have an iPhone now! (and I wanted some fall pics.) [you can find me under "ohlauren" on instagram.]
So, I haven’t been around in a long time. I do intend on coming back though, really. Life has been very rough lately though and I’m hoping to eventually get back into things. For those of...
I finally did something crafty again. I drew up this little fox and embroidered it on a really small hoop I found. The cloth is from a thrifted vintage pillow case. I’m proud that I did the ent...

We put up all of our 800-ish books on IKEA shelves in our office. They’re organized by color, which wasn’t actually all that hard and was kind of fun! I wanted them downstairs in the seco...
My dad’s sisters all came out for a visit this weekend and I have some cute pictures. My husband took them and I did the editing.
I painted my nails a sort of coral/red-orangey color. This is “meet me at sunset” by essie, after one coat, goes on very easily. I think it looks a bit more red in real life, the first pi...

Yesterday we went to *our* beach for awhile – it’s the first time the water was actually tolerable, but I didn’t have my swim suit on. So, behind this big clump of trees somewhere i...

So, I might possibly maybe just slightly be obsessed with magazines lately. Just maybe. Like, as in, these are all from recently. Cabinet – literature ReadyMade Real Simple Filter – music...
So, I know I’ve been MIA for awhile.. but I’m going to try to be back now, k? We are all moved out of the old place and mostly moved into the new. The main rooms are all unpacked but we s...
Hello! We’re mostly all moved into our new place, just a few things left to move. No internet until the 19th! So, I’m on my phone right now. Just a few pics I took for fun. See you soon!
Is there something wrong with my feed again that I have no comments on my last post? Or did you guys all abandon me already for being such a bad blogger? Today’s postcard is from London, from m...

I feel like book reviews/talking about books doesn’t really fit this blog, and even if it does technically fit, it doesn’t really open up the door for rambling about books constantly, lol...
