I have always had a love for jewelry. If you knew me years ago, my right wrist was stacked with all the gold bracelets I could find. Now, I rarely wear anything on my wrists (besides an old gold watch I “borrowed” from my Dad many years ago, and although it stopped working, it is such a sentimental piece). A gold necklace … we all should own one. It looks beautiful against any color or print, dressy or casual. I discovered Brinker & Eliza late last year. I pre-ordered the Spiral Staircase Necklace in November and received it about a month ago. Worth the wait!

I’m delighted to finally sit down and share more on our home purchase last year and the current renovations underway (we are almost done!). Time has been flying by, but moments have also felt like the longest moments in time. When a delay happens, it feels like weeks, and when a certain stage of the reno is complete, we scramble to the next step. All in all, we are overwhelmed with joy to finally design and put all my saved and pinned images to use, buy our favorite fixtures, and continue to scheme and dream up future plans.

It is almost Spring, with Easter not too far behind. Over the years, Spring has become my favorite of the Seasons, and I like to think of this time as a second chance to refresh and reboot our lives, our home and our routines.

Valentines Day is a great excuse to say ‘be mine’! Pick up something lovely for yourself, a treat for your littles or a goodie for that special someone. My husband and I always exchange cards, stay in for dinner at home, and toast to our love, of course with our little man. I love our tradition.

As we enter the new year, I will gather what I learned, reflect on my growth and use it as motivation to embrace whats most important. There is much to hold gratitude for.

The holidays! The joy and cheer it brings is a welcomed and happy distraction from the trying year we’ve had. So, bring on the mistletoe, garland, champagne and all the gifts! While I am quite excited to shop and ring in the season, I want to make an effort to shop and give gifts with purpose, like buying from companies that source ethically and produce sustainable products or by purchasing a gift that gives back to help those in need.

During the craziness of this year, we decided to make things just a tad more interesting by buying a new home. Our search started in late 2019 and it all officially ended in October. Dare I say, now the fun begins?

A bit long winded here, but I want to share some tips and highlights from our pandemic getaway experiences. Traveling is a touchy subject and the COVID situation is constantly changing, so I understand the concerns. By no means do I take what is going on lightly. Do what is best for yourself, your families and others. Take the time to assess where to travel, how to get there and what to do, safely. With that said, I received questions about our travel during this pandemic, so I hope it offers a bit of comfort and ideas if you are making travel plans.
