I’m trying to wrap my mind around where exactly this week has gone?! I guess it’s because I’m on vacation next week, so this week has F L O W N by. I will be in Hawaii next week and I can’t wait! I love a vacation (duh) and am so excited to check off …
Napa Cabbage Chopped Salad
Do you ever go to a restaurant, try a salad and think “well why didn’t I think of this?” That was me when I had my first bite of the Siam salad at Leon’s here in Charleston. It may very well be my favorite salad in the city. I know what you’re thinking, a city …
Friday Faves: Volume II
Week two of my favorites 🙂 Hi! I hope you had the best week! My week was a really good balance of a lot of work, a lot of doing good and the right amount of social. I’ve got a weekend that right now looks like it will be more play than work (and in …
Friday Faves: Volume I
My weekly list of loves starts now 🙂 Happy Friday! I personally love an end-of-week roundup and wanted to start sharing mine. In my opinion, there’s something really great about a list of loves. It sparks inspiration and can help to remind you of what you’re missing (or tell me what I am missing!). What …
For the love of cookbooks
I love to cook, bake and be in the kitchen. I love to hone in on a recipe and really make it my own. I also love a well-curated cookbook. There’s something about having an entire anthology of recipes that you just KNOW are going to turn out great 99.99% of the time (let’s be …

Over the years, I’ve worked on compiling lists of helpful home maintenance tips for each …
Sticky Pomegranate Chicken with Coconut Rice

Pair this chicken with my beloved coconut rice and you’ve got a TRUE recipe for success (in my opinion). Coconut …
72 Hours: Austin, Texas
I love to take a quick weekend away. It’s my second favorite way to spend a weekend (second to a West Virginia football game). I’m often getting asked questions about where to stay, where to eat and what to do. This is going to be a fun little series of what to do in some …
Signature Home Scents
Confession: I love a candle. I love fragrance. But what I do NOT love is an overwhelming scent or fragrance. I prefer an easy, appealing scent and not an overwhelming Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar circa 1998 (please tell me you know what I’m talking about). For as much as I love a …
Schedules, Calendars, Organizing: My Best Tips
It’s no secret that I love a schedule, calendar and a google sheet (ask anyone who has been on vacation with me) and that I often have a fully stacked plate in front of me (both of snacks and my schedule). I wear a lot of hats, and am often on the go and wanted …
