Across the Universe – Will Weidner
I have no way to introduce this post without sounding completely unhinged. So I’ll just go for it. We all know of Will’s blistering obsession with the Beatles. (I mean, my work is done, right?) The boy is swallowed. He constantly teeters on who he’s more like, musically and personally: Paul’s sweethearted nature and unrivaled […]
Hold Me – The Nightlight Sessions
Another summer, another sooooong! I know I don’t have to tell you about our summer tradition of visiting family in Little Rock, AR. Old news, yes. And I know I don’t have to tell you that each year we pick a song from the ’80s or ’90s, slow it down and vibe it out. You […]
Christmas Wrapping Paper Style! And My Opinions on them.
Iiiiiiit’s aaaaaaaa wraaaaaaa- I wouldn’t do that to you. Maybe. (I would.) Let’s look back at the past NINE YEARS of my wrapping paper style and how it’s evolved! Or devolved? Look, just keep that to yourself. I obsess over a wrapping paper look. It’s a whole vibe. A whole thing. It carries the mood. […]
A Few of My Favorite Things: Summer Edition!
Heeeeey-oh! I’ve returned! Oh, you didn’t notice? Oh. Let’s do a quick round of current summer faves before we dive back into food next week, shall we? I have to shoot two recipes today and I’m like, “Do I even know how? How does one photograph food? How does one hold a camera? I have […]
The Way It Is – Nightlight Sessions
Another summer, another song! You know our summer family tradition of traveling to Little Rock, Arkansas, where my parents live, along with my sister Barbara and her husband Dustin, and their girls Breckon and Leighton. I know you know this! I’m just telling you again. Want me to say all that one more time? Just […]
I Signed Up To Run A Half Marathon. Am I a Complete Idiot?
You guys. What have I done. Also for those who voted for more running content, be careful what you wish for. A HALF MARATHON. Did I have a moment of temporary insanity? Did my brain short circuit out while I pressed the “register here” button? What in the world? I can’t explain this otherwise. It’s […]
Will and Natalie’s New Bedrooms
I wanted to put an exclamation point on that title but I do in fact enjoy having human friends. We gave the kids much needed bedroom upgrades! At last. It was so time. They’d been sleeping in beds the size of bobby pins. It was one of those ordeals where we (by we I mean […]
Cozy Winter Favorite Things!
A gift guide . . . in January? Naw. Let’s think of this as HYGGE SEASON INSPO. All caps necessary. Also I don’t have a recipe for you so this is what you get. Ha! Oh. Perhaps you got a little Christmas money that you’re sitting on and need help in deciding what to get. […]
French Café Kitchen Curtains!
I finally put up new curtain hardware! And we went French, baybuh. This simple (but effective!) kitchen tweak has been on my to-do list for eons. Long ago when we got the new casement windows I kept teetering between fabric or pull-down. Fabric or pull-down. I wanted to something billowy and airy, but would it […]
