Hey, February! Hello, Sunday!

Gosh, it seems weird to be back here. I’ve missed you! I didn’t quite realize how much this little corner of the web has become such a big part of my routine. I’ve got some good food and good trips coming up, and I can’t wait to share them all.

Sunday Somethings – 2023

Hello, Sunday. Happy New Year, 2023! I’m not one to dwell on New Years. It’s not a “holiday” or occasion that I’ve ever really liked, nor necessarily put much stock as far as resolutions or grand statements. I always try to ease in the new…

Sunday Somethings- Christmas, 2022

Hello, Sunday.

Keeping it brief because I suspect most of you are taking the long weekend to unplug, regroup, and spending time away from the interwebs.

While not all of you celebrate Christmas, I’m wishing you tidings of joy, happiness, wonder, peace and fun. Universal good vibes.

If you’re still scrambling for something special to make for Christmas brunch, crepes are a go-to easy, peasy choose-your-own-festive-adventure option.

Merry Christmas!!

Sunday Somethings- December 2022

Hello, Sunday.

Hello, December!

New month, but new season! The holidays are full at it and I’m feeling the buzz and a little bit of the frenzy.  I am down at Disney to unwind for a few days, celebrate my dad and I can say that I really needed it. I was getting to be a real crabby pants.

That being said, new month, new mindset, so here’s what is going on with me this month:

hoping: for a short winter

thinking: of my to-do list when i get home (not ideal on vacation)

praying: crawley’s new vet is better than his old vet and that he’s okay

planning: 2023 vacations! coming soon: asheville, disney, jordan, italy…and more tbd

dreaming: of cozy nights by the fire

wearing: cozy things- and i just found these socks again and i’m stoked – they are the best!

reading: always be my duchess

watching: the crown, and old GBBO

eating: so many sweets…my favorite poppyseed rolls

baking: the latest

wishing: on stars, always
