Harry Potter potion bottles
One of my favorite Halloween decorations is our potion bottle display. This year I found Harry Potter potion labels and immediately ordered them.

Better than mimosas
What can be better than a mimosa you may ask? Why, a peach bellini! I was wandering around the local liquor store looking for some Veuve (they have a crap champagne selection and nothing is organized well), and I walked past this Stirrings Simple Peach Bellini mix. The packaging got me, it looked so good! … Continue reading Better than mimosas

I bought my current pair of Ray-Bans 5 years ago to replace my Ray-Ban Aviators which I was obsessed with but the nose piece finally broke off … Continue reading Sunnies, Shades, Sunglasses
The many iterations of my Wildflower Garden.
In 2020, we decided to make a bit of our yard a wildflower garden. We threw some seeds down and basically just let it grow how it wants. No pruning, weeding, design, just wild. (I did pull some blue flowers up because they turned into burrs and it was a nightmare to pick out of … Continue reading The many iterations of my Wildflower Garden.
Lavender Simple Syrup and Lattes
The mint in our garden is going wild, so I decided to make some mint simple syrup. As I was making it, I was looking out of our kitchen window and saw the lavender in full bloom and had the idea to make some lavender simple syrup as well! I am so glad I did. … Continue reading Lavender Simple Syrup and Lattes
