Happy Monday! Three day weekends are the absolute best, particularly during the summer. I’ve spent a lot of time relaxing this weekend, and yet I still feel like I need to catch up on sleep before the work week begins!
I’ve got a great roundup of inspiration and yummy recipes today. Let’s dive in:
I spent three days last weekend visiting the beautiful city of Chicago! I drove to the city with family for the weekend to explore.
I’ve always loved big cities, and Chicago is no exception. It reminds me of New York City in a lot of ways, with the beautiful skyline, bustling sidewalks, heavy traffic, and awesome eating and entertainment scene. Cities like Chicago just feel so vibrant and alive.
Happy Sunday! My weekend has been busy (but fun!) so far, and I am excited to see my family today and maybe get some meal prep in for the week. These last few weeks of August always feel like pure summertime to me.
Here’s what I’ve been loving this week:
I’ve had a Pinterest account for years, and have been happily saving outfits, favorite quotations, and home inspiration the whole time.
I was recently scrolling through my account and realized that over the years, a few trends have emerged in terms of the things I love in terms of houses and interior design. I’m entering the stage of my life where the thought of having a home to decorate is much closer than it ever has been, so it’s fun to think about my favorite styles and features to dream of incorporating someday.
Happy Sunday! The weather was gorgeous this weekend and led to lots of reading outside and dining al fresco. I also dove into my first try at hand embroidery (more to come on that topic!). Here’s a few other things that caught my eye this week:
I was driving this afternoon during a rough day and began thinking about the kind of music I turn to when I’m feeling down. While I’m sure we all have our “angry” music playlists (I know I do!), I often want something inspiring and comforting instead in these tough moments.
Happy Sunday evening! This weekend was relaxing, but flew by way too quickly. Here’s a few things I’m loving this week:
As human beings, we are constantly changing and refining things about ourselves. This month, I’ve made a few small changes that I’ve really enjoyed and feel have contributed positively to my life.
One of my favorite things about this year’s goal of reading 50 books is how much it has completely reminded me of my deep love for reading. I feel so much more like myself when I am actively engaged in new topics in books, and I love getting to constantly explore different worlds and views points. I keep getting increasingly excited to choose my next read!
