While the weather may not yet be crisp enough, fall is officially here! I think I smile more at this time of year by default. I yearn for the autumn color, falling leaves, hot apple cider, and yes, even pumpkin scones at Starbucks. For some reason, I also feel extra creative + crafty this time of year. So this weekend, I’m throwing on a cozy sweater and getting out my supplies. I might even cook…say what?! Here are some crafts + recipes that have me inspired for your weekend reading.

BON WEEKEND!

These abstract studies of Parisian rooftops by Michael Wolf have me dreaming again. I am feeling the pull, to get back to France, and I’m doing everything I can to figure out a way. I watched House Hunters International last night featuring a couple who sold everything and moved to the French countryside…dangerous for me, as I’ve been tempted to do the same at times! What an incredible experience it would be for the kids, and for us. I constantly imagine that scenario. Have you ever been tempted to do the same? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Some links to inspire…

BON WEEKEND!

I must preface this post by telling you this photo has nothing to do with anything…I just like it. Ok, now that we’ve cleared that up…happy friday friends! I know I promised photos of our updated kitchen, but it turns out my kitchen only has perfect light for about two hours a day, which seem to always happen when I’m toddler wrangling. Plus, keeping the kitchen clean enough for an attractive photo is a feat in itself…my point being, it may be a little bit until I can “reveal” it. Keeping it real folks! I hope you have a lovely weekend planned…here are some links that inspired me this week!

BON WEEKEND!

Hello friends! This is the result of playing with the new party party app…not much partying happening here, but the app is fun! That was my actual first attempt…hashtag silly selfie (for the record, I hardly ever do selfies). I’m busy working on a site update…I can’t reveal everything just yet but it’s something I’m pretty excited about! I’m hoping to share it very soon, fingers crossed. I must get away from my desk and spend some time outdoors this weekend…this polar vortex is my jam. Summer temps that feel more like spring? YES PLEASE. I shall leave you with some links for your weekend enjoyment…

BON WEEKEND!
