I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of greenery and flowers throughout the home. Even more, I specifically love eucalyptus. Greenery brings such life and energy into a space! This plant, with its vintage look yet fresh feel has been so popular in wedding bouquets (hello Pinterest) to holiday décor and found decoratively throughout people’s homes – from wreaths on the front door to in vases throughout the home, to in the shower. Yep…in the shower for an at home spa experience!!!!!!!!!!

And Eucalyptus Farms is making it super simple for us to never be without these pretty springs with their incredible subscription service!

Strawberry Pie Recipe
Strawberry Pie Recipe

Taken a look at the calendar lately? It’s hard to believe how quickly this year is racing by and that Memorial Day is in two days! It’s one one of my favorite food days of the year, and I’ve been scouring my recipe files for ideas on what to make (there’s still a debate going on at our house between burgers and fajitas.) LOL! But really, my favorite part of Memorial Day is always dessert! So today I am sharing a delicious recipe for a gorgeous tasty strawberry pie!!!!

This strawberry pie is best made with fresh strawberries. However, in a pinch, frozen strawberries will work.

Keep in mind that frozen strawberries will expel more moisture than fresh strawberries. As such, you may have to add additional cornstarch to the mixture.

OKAY, LET’S MAKE A STRAWBERRY PIE!

Jan Kath Rug Completes Guest Bedroom Makeover

These carpets invite you to lie down and take a nap which Henry tried out and reported back that it was bliss!

The nomadic tribes in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco have been producing these naturally white , fluffy Berber carpets for centuries. The carpets insulated the dwellings against the cold and made them homely. #JanKath revives the ancient knitting tradition in Le Maroc Blanc. •

I am in love! Head over heels in love!!!! The SR Hughes design group operates out of a spacious, streamlined showroom and studio in Tulsa’s Brookside area. Have you driven by their Spring 2020 Window Display yet?

Both clogs and mules make for the lovely sheer ease of the quick slide!!!! I love these two styles of shoes …and am so happy to find both styles that are super comfortable from Everlane-styles that I can walk in all day long if I want too!

Everlane partners with the best, ethical factories around the world. They source only the finest materials and believe their customers have a right to know how much the clothes cost to make. So they reveal the true costs behind all of their products—from materials to labor to transportation—then offer them to us, minus the traditional retail markup!! It’s a new way of doing things that they call Radical Transparency and I am here for it!

La Pitchoune- Take Virtual Cooking Classes Now

Between you and me ... 🇫🇷

Peach Dutch Baby Recipe
Peach Dutch Baby Recipe

Dutch babies (also known as German or oven pancakes) are a great way to get your protein in the morning. They contain a higher ratio of eggs to flour than regular pancakes. But they still satisfy your carby-sweet morning cravings.

You can add many different kinds of fruit to a Dutch baby. Peaches pair particularly well though! They’re already soft and juicy, so you don’t have to worry about getting them cooked through. And the flavor—oh, the FLAVOR! You really must try it for yourself.

Chic Toilet Paper With A Conscience
Chic Toilet Paper With A Conscience

When was the last time you got excited about toilet paper? I’m willing to guess you’ve NEVER been excited about toilet paper, and you’re not alone. All though with the toilet paper shortage these days…I do find myself getting excited about TP deliveries in our Instacart orders. Our bathrooms also have zero storage space. Like, zero. I have to work really hard at keeping things organized, towels neatly folded, and my toilet paper properly arranged. There's no stashing TP behind a cabinet door in my bathroom. So, beyond tossing a few sad-looking mega-rolls in some sort of storage container, what's a girl to do? When I was in NYC last fall I started to see beautifully packaged toilet paper everywhere. Like of course NY restaurants and boutiques would have pretty fashionable TP! LOL! I of course snapped photos for some later research!

Floral Heels
Floral Heels

Flowers and shoes. Could there be a better combination to make a woman happy?

Adding the perfect pop of color to your summer wardrobe is easy with these uh-mazing Elyn Platform Heeled Sandals from @justfabonline ! Sure, florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but this late '60s/early '70s take on the print feels arguably refreshing to me! Or perhaps these far out florals remind me of my grandma's chic '70s-era wallpaper! Whatever the case might be..I am obsessing over eye-catching patterns and a kaleidoscope of colors lately…

Homemade Ravioli, La Pasta Fatta In Casa
Homemade Ravioli, La Pasta Fatta In Casa

I am feeling very much like an Italian Nonna lately!!! And I must admit I am loving it! LOL!

Homemade pasta is so simple! I have no idea why i have been buying the dry stuff from the markets for so long. So far have mastered spaghetti noodles, lasagna, potato gnocchi, and now raviolis!

Don’t be intimidated. The reality is it truly is one of the simplest things to make. Only a few ingredients and you have a pasta that is better than anything you will find in the store.

Ways To Choose Joy And Peace During Uncertain Times
Ways To Choose Joy And Peace During Uncertain Times

We begin the 8th week of self isolating today and I have to admit..I have not minded too much of it. Lin and I were talking last night over dinner and discussing the things we have enjoyed during this whole process. I have been appreciating a slower life and a more open calendar. There’s nowhere I need to be, no rushing around to get somewhere, and not a lot of FOMO aside as I tend to retreat in the warmer weather anyhow! (fall-winter baby over here) We have been enjoying cooking our own meals at home more too where before we would eat out at least twice a week! It gets so expensive and you really have no idea how restaurants are preparing your food!
