Anyone else throwing themselves into house projects as a way of coping/distracting themselves this month? Home-related things have been a pretty solid go-to for me lately, and I’ve heard that by the crowds at Home Depot and Lowe’s, I’m not alone. A fly on the wall would probably think I’m ridiculous for how often I’ve walked aimlessly around our home… Keep Reading
A Sunny Springtime Weekend

Our Quarantine Daily Rhythm + Recent Amazon Recommendations

I’ve seen some funny memes going around about the differences between introverts (“I’ve been training for this my whole life!”) and extroverts (“My life is oveeeer.”) and how they’re likely handling this in opposite ways.
