I am often asked about wood type and stain color for this mantel wood. It is the same wood as around our kitchen window and it’s reclaimed from a barn built in the 1800s. It’s Hemlock Pine and there is no stain or finish on it. These wood pieces add so much warmth and character and history.

Share with me/us about something good in your world this week! We can all use a little boost mid-week!

Staying home, family time, fall soups and conversa

Staying home, family time, fall soups and conversations around the island have me truly enjoying cooking. And this beautiful @caraway_home cookware is making it such an easy and beautiful process! With non-toxic ceramic, I can cook with less oil, less heat and less time spent cleaning. They have so many gorgeous color choices, but the navy was calling my name. I spent a lot of time researching healthy cookware and I’m so happy to have found @caraway_home .

Be sure to check out my stories today to see these beauties in action as I make a delicious low carb soup. I’ll have the recipe and a link there and in my bio too. You’ll save $25 at checkout when you use my link.

We had a birthday party over the weekend for my middle kid. He and his friends had a great time... and my feet are no longer talking to me. I love him, but he is a straight up walking mess. When I asked him why every single thing he owns is on his floor, he replied, “Gravity.” I can’t argue with that so I left the room.

This table got a subtle fall shift.

If you are building or renovating and want want to add character, check in your area for an architectural salvage store. They have lots of treasures.
I spotted this leaded glass window inside the salvage store from across the street where I parked. I squealed as I ran to snag it! Having it before framing allowed us to make sure it would fit.

Don’t you love functional decor pieces! They are doing the hard work of serving a purpose AND looking pretty. This cute pumpkin pot (linked in stories) is gets me craving yummy fall soups and warm cozy comfort foods. What is a favorite fall dish in your home?

Cooler Fall temperatures means more patio dining!

Cooler Fall temperatures means more patio dining! Yay! I love a long leisurely outdoor meal. This table came together with items I gathered from around the house. And my favorite touch is these cute solar @lightsdotcom lanterns. They have a realistic looking faux candle inside that comes on when the lights get low. They are just the right touch of light and ambiance for a casual night on the patio! You can get 10% off now with code STARR10. I’ll show more in stories with a link.

I was sitting here trying to come up with a caption, so I asked my husband. He jokingly said, “Oh, the life of an Instagrammer is so hard.” He thought for a minute or two and came up with a big fat bag of nuthin’. Not so easy is it, babe? 😘

You spin me right round, baby, right round. 🎶 Guess what I’m doing today. It has become a dire situation here due to my procrastination.

In other news, I bought something so ugly yesterday at Goodwill that I haven’t even shown my husband because I know he won’t see the potential and tell me I wasted $10. If I can work up my nerve, I’ll show you in stories today.

I love pumpkins and seeing the beautiful changing leaves. But orange as a color peppered throughout my house would be too much for me to live with daily. I can appreciate it others’ homes though. That said, the outside of the house will probably get the full pumpkin treatment, orange and all. I’m a complex and quirky enigma, even to myself sometimes.

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting but at the moment all I can think about is food. Last night I dreamed about cake. I dreamed my job was a taste tester for a bakery and ended up eating the everything in the display case. So tell me what is for dinner at your house?

A lot of kiddos are returning to school today in person. The marquee sign at my daughter’s school said “Welcome back from the longest Spring Break ever!” When I was a kid we always started after Labor Day.

I sat on my porch yesterday morning and actually felt a little cool. And again last night as we were watching the lighted boat parade. I hope the cooler temps are here to stay. Glimpses of Fall are making their way into the house too. Last year at this time my husband and I were building and trimming out our staircase...so basically laboring on Labor Day. How are you celebrating this Labor Day?

Now that the latest storm brought some cooler weather and now that it’s September, I can MAYBE start THINKING about POSSIBLY digging out my fall stuff just to see what I have. That all sounds very iffy, but I am pretty sure I want to keep it simple. Who knows, maybe next time you see this mantel there will be a pumpkin or two.

I’m feeling grateful that our house didn’t cat

I’m feeling grateful that our house didn’t catch on fire last night. We had a storm and lightning either struck the house or very close. Close enough to fry a bunch of stuff. Our sprinkler system box is actually melted. My kids and I were home and saw the lightning surround the house, heard a clash, and felt the house shake. My boys were convinced the house was struck. I know it could be much worse so I am trying to focus on the positive and not on the inconvenience and expense of replacing the what we lost. We got some much needed rain and cooler temperatures with this storm, my home and family are safe, and we can handle this. We will be getting a whole house surge protector now. I hope your day has plenty of love, laughter and WiFi (wish us luck in getting ours back soon).
