I shared a few office supplies that I had mainly reordered for 2022 on stories the other day and got a surprising amount of positive feedback. Turns out I'm not the only one addicted to buying cute office supplies! Which I love. And while I shared mostly cute Amazon office supplies like these pink notepads, I also wanted to share more desk essentials for an organized space. Beacuse I'm sure we're all trying to start the year with a fresh, clean work environment. ...
I don't know about you, but I love hearing other people's goals or resolutions. It's kind of like seeing what they have in their bag or grocery cart - I just find it interesting to get a glimpse into other people's lives like that.
So with that, I wanted to share what my goals for this year are - plus, my word of the year. I'm going to be sharing some resources that I've created in my newsletter next week so if you're into goal setting or want to know my general resources for supporting my yearly goals, definitely sign up for that. I'll also be sharing organization office supplies on the blog tomorrow. ...
If you're like me, you're trying to take January to stay home, spend less money, and get your life in order. Austin and I got in a habit of ordering out A LOT in 2021, especially as we became a family of 4, and we'd like to get back into the habit of cooking more at home. To kick off the year, I wanted to share 5 recipes to try this season. I've personally tried all of these and can vouch, and if you're looking for even more ideas, I have an entire Pinterest board of recipes. ...
We love a good party mix around here! This is a recipe that Austin's family has been making for years and his dad always makes it during the holidays. I look forward to it every year. It's so easy and is the perfect salty snack to munch on during your favorite holiday movies.
Here's everything you need: ...
I don't know about y'all, but this year was a busy one. I think most of us can agree it was an exhausting year, while many of us were trying to make up for 2020, and most plans went back into overdrive. And since about October, I've felt more stressed than usual. After talking to some friends about everyone feeling this way, I wanted to put together a list of 20 things to do this month. But not 20 more things to add to your to-do list - 20 things that will actually make you feel good, many that don't take much effort. Obviously don't feel like you have to do all 20, but I wanted to give a bunch of ideas. ...
Holiday festivities are in full swing and I know we are all so excited to gather with friends and loved ones again. If you have a few parties on your calendar, don't forget to bring a little something for the hostess. Here's a few ideas that are easy and quick if you are in a pinch.
Are you hosting this year? xx AR ...
I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year for my family and wanted to share a few ideas that I'm planning to recreate. I am so excited to have everyone in our home and currently looking for some yummy traditional recipes (drop them in the comments if you have any). I will definitely be making this Green Bean Casserole again — it's Austin's favorite! ...
I realized that I haven't actually ever covered a lot of our kitchen details on the blog so better late than never, right? Today's breakdown is simple: I'm linking our decor and dishes that we use most often. Let me know if there's any other area of the house y'all want to see a breakdown for and I'll work on curating those links. ...
I posted a question box about 'work/life balance' a couple of weeks ago on IGS and it got such a huge response that I knew I needed to compile things into a blog post. First up, it seems like most people agree that it's nearly impossible, and also that there's just never going to be a perfect balance - which is fine. I've noticed more this year than ever before, with two boys, a full-time job, family stuff, working on some big projects, and just life, that my balance was suffering, and so was my mental health because of it. ...
I feel like a broken record when it comes to Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home content but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to shopping the NSale. I always always stock up on candles. That is my #1 recommendation to anyone trying to navigate the sale. ...
