No Project Life update today (I am heading home from a bachelorette adventure in Vegas this morning), but I wanted to share some progress peeks from my Palm Springs minibook that I was working on bef...
Summer is absolutely my favorite. I love the fresh fruit. The colors. The heat. The bonus daylight. I don't know that I feel more inspired in summer, but I absolutely feel like more is possible....
The big one for me this month is the email one. No email checking after 6pm. It's a hard and fast rule I am committing to in June. Hopefully for the rest of time, forever and ever, Amen. It'...
I have to say, these monthly updates are fun, mostly because I can clearly see how much things have changed. Here's the garden in the very beginning. And then here it is at the end of April. Cra...
We scheduled this trip in mid-April when work was crazy for us both and when we just were not connecting as a couple. It was really frustrating and having a short weekend getaway on the calendar was ...

Week 21 and I love this project. (click to enlarge & the image above will be [somewhat] clearer) Nothing too exciting. (Except photos of tomatoes one and two.) Quote this week is a rad one I foun...
Good week, busy week. Busy like a bee, you could say. And guess what : we have bees! Well, our wall has bees. Tough to tell if it's an actual new hive or if it's just scout bees (I am learn...
Paul and I head to Palm Springs this weekend (so excited!) and I'm taking my summer book (with painted cover), some favorite pens, striped washi tape, a few labels & some cute clips. I was a...

Since our trip through Big Sur at the beginning of March, Paul and I have been trying to work more hikes into our weekend routine. We have never had "weekends" together in the traditional s...

Week 20 and I am still in love with this project. (click to enlarge & the images above will be [somewhat] clearer) More and more photos. A ton this week were taken with my phone. And lots of writ...
Busy desk, busy kitchen, busy brain. I am in the strangest, most exciting work period of my life so far. Riding the wave like it's my job and really, really enjoying it. The past three weekends ...
If you've been following along for the past few weeks, you may have noticed a switch in the way I'm doing online business. Out with the Etsy, in with a random shop that looks like a blog. Y...
There is a pesto pizza in our near future... Edited to add : Don't worry! I didn't just dig up those plants to make one batch of pesto! I trimmed them using the healthy herb trimming techni...
I loved this post on Summer's blog last week and I thought I'd do something similar. Stuff we've learned over the past nearly five years of living together. I can't believe it...
My original plan for "glass" was two painted mugs. I painted them, waited the 21 days for the glass paint I bought to cure, and then realized that ceramic didn't technically count as g...

My original plan after the 40 loaves was to embark on 40 soup recipes. I was so set to go. But Paul wasn't that into it. He made the argument that we hardly ever eat soup (to which I responded, ...

I have to say, it's a joy to be done with this project. It served it's purpose and then some. I made 40 different loaves of bread. I tried detailed and complicated recipes and super simple ...
