Listen though, a cozy bed does not have to be expensive. Most of our bedding has been from target, … Continue reading A Summer Bed Makeover with Garnet Hill.
Way back in April, I started planning out my May bakes. I’ve talked about my monthly planning process before, but if you missed it - I usually plan the entire month of bakes all at once.

I was going to do one Day in the Life post, but after starting to write, I have found that I need to break it up. I'm so chatty and explain-y!
