Cake Recipe: 1 Box (16-18oz) Moist Supreme Lemon Cake Mix 1 Package (3oz) Lemon Pudding Mix (*Not “Cook-N-Serve”) Zest of 2 Lemons 1 Cup Sour Cream 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil 4 Large Eggs 1/2...
Happy Monday, friends! A few months ago, I heard an answer to one of the most common questions in the world that for some reason has stuck with me since. At work one day, my friend asked a customer the question “How are you?” And she said “Fine… because that’s what you’re supposed to say…” and then walked on down the hall. In a country where we’ve tried tirelessly to market this whole idea of being “true to yourself,”...

These are so cozy and were a great price! They are euro shams, which make them extra large pillows, and the material feels like a sweater. I got a pack of 2 for $9 (making them $4.50/each)… so here’s my tip when it...
Hi friends! Today, I wanted to share my Vintage Spool collections that I’ve used as candle holders this fall! I found nearly all of these at Goodwill for a great deal, and love the character and texture they add to the space. Many people use them on their own, or will wrap different types of string or yarn around them, but I thought they were perfect for candles! I’ve put them into groups of three’s in my living room...

Happy Monday, peeps! It’s hard to believe how quickly a week (or year for that matter) goes by! This time of year always makes me do a bit of soul-searching… with the changes of seasons, the conclusion of another year of life, it causes a time of reflection for me. Finding your “path” in this life is no small task. It takes courage, and soul-searching, and choices, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming. This past year has brought many changes:...
