THE GUIDE

MAKE THIS

Recently there has been a lot of hype about this “new” superfood. One of the bloggers I follow suffers from Crohn’s disease and she swears by the healing properties in this veggie. I liked this article and recipe and plan on giving it a shot in November! Stay tuned!

DESIGN THIS

We have started a few much needed projects around the house…like replacing all of our windows EEK! One of the updates I’m really excited about is our fireplace. I love the traditional mantle but we are changing the red tile to a more neutral grey and white stone (not sure the name of it but will keep you posted). Loved seeing this article for inspiration!

READ THIS

This is a topic I know almost nothing about. Quite frankly its one I would rather ignore, but as a mother of two children, planning is extremely important. After I read this article I realized that actually the alternative to not planning is scarier than facing it head on. You’ll see what I mean when you read…

WEAR THIS

I know you’re probably sick of this website by now (it has seriously been so good this season I can’t stop going for more) but this sweater is amazing. Things can start looking a gray outside during the winter and I love how this color pops. It also works well on every skin tone and compliments gray, ivory, and browns well.

DO THIS

The weather is getting colder on the East Coast and many families struggle during this time of year to stay warm. While you’re cleaning out your closets look out for old coats, hats, gloves, and thermal-wear that you no longer need and donate it to a local shelter or organization. I will be donating mine to Person-to-Person this season.

STYLE THIS

“There’s a real strength to knowing who you are and having your own distinct look, because real style doesn’t change from season to season. I have found my uniform and I would never wear anything that didn’t feel like me just because it was ‘in fashion’.” I love this quote from an article on Danish stylist, Alexandra Carl. Her style inspires me to continue to be myself in a world that can so easily sway you to look like someone else. Don’t be swayed!
