And just like that it’s Friday again. We celebrated the first day of spring just a few days a go and then got a fresh dusting of snow. Mother Nature is so confused. This week’s finds include a binge-worthy show, an art exhibit, and some tips from the Finns. The Gentlemen Andrew and I started […]

It’s Friiiiiiday! It’s also paycheck breakfast pizza Friday. I absolutely love the breakfast pizza at the little corner store near where I teach. I would honestly buy it every morning, but I only allow myself to eat it on pay day. It’s the little things right? This week’s finds include some vacay ideas, a lip […]
How is it March right now? I feel like January lasted years and February was over in a flash. Happy Friday everyone! Anyone else finish listening to Who TF Did I Marry this week? That poor woman! And now the ex is coming after her for defamation? Um I don’t think so sir, she never […]
Not super excited for Friday to come this week. I’ve been on break all week, so Friday arriving means that my time off is coming to an end. We didn’t go away this break because Andrew is still in renovation mode but that is ok. I’ve had a relaxing week for sure. 🙂 Lots of […]

This is one of my favorite decades to have a theme with. I love the clothes, the music, the lingo…the sneaky cocktails. 😉 When Andrew turned 30 we threw him a “Say Goodbye to Your Roaring 20s Party” so this isn’t my first time planning a 20s themed evening. Also, it being 2024 we’re kind […]
Happy Friday! I’m writing this before I know whether or not Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so I’m not sure if he predicted an early spring or not. Is this just an American thing or do other countries predict the weather with marmots? I would be ok with more winter. We’ve yet to have a […]
It’s Friiiiiiiidaaaaaay! The weekend could not come soon enough for me this week. Full work weeks are tough, I’m in need of a snow day. 🙂 Fingers crossed for one this upcoming Monday, we’ll just have to wait and see. This week’s finds include winter skin care tips, a seasonal dessert, and a Spotify playlist. […]

It’s made me want all the cozy and comforting things the past few days. 🙂 This week’s finds include a little self-care, a comforting recipe and a book […]

As much as we love a date night in we do venture out and let someone else cook us dinner every once and awhile. There is no shortage of wonderful restaurants in the Portland area which can make picking a place quite the challenge. Here are some of our favorite spots for a cozy and […]
Happy New Year! I decided to bring back some Friday Finds for 2024. I missed sharing things that I’ve discovered on a weekly basis! Expect a lot of recipes, probably some travel articles and at least for the month of January some tasty mocktails. I’m doing a little Dry January reset after a super fun […]

While you can’t recreate the stalls in your home you can easily make some of the food. Here are some of my favorite foods from markets I’ve visited.

I love books. I always have, maybe it’s the teacher in me, maybe it’s because one of my favorite aunts was such a bookworm and would often gift me with new books. Who knows? But there is nothing that I love more on a cozy afternoon than to get lost in a good book. Here […]
