I bought a house! Finally, after over a year of searching for something perfect, I found it.
Lovely Lavender
I don't know why, but I have been in love with lavender lately. Generally, I find the scent to be a bit too strong for me but I have been obsessed! Not only does lavender have a beautiful scent but it also has health benefits.
The Beautifully Mundane
With February coming to an end and March beginning, I am dying for the start of spring. I find these months of January- March, and the beginning of April, to be so gloomy. The weather isn’t great, there are no leaves in the trees, no flowers have started blooming yet, the fat hibernating squirrels are still asleep… it just feels blah. One of the trends that I have seen floating around social media is ‘romanticize your life’. The idea behind this is to make the little things in life feel and look beautiful. I go through phases where I romanticize parts of my life but generally, I find the whole thing exhausting and time consuming.
Let’s Get Deep
My friends and I had a game night last night and we played a game that I have never heard of called Let’s Get Deep. The game is perfect for new friends, couples nights, or light-hearted family nights. I am not the biggest fan of games, board games or otherwise, but this game was actually fun! It was light, you didn't have to move any pieces on a board, and it felt like I was getting to know and laugh with people I love.
Spring Target Haul
Target is killing the game right now! Their home section is to die for… it is very grandmillennial and every time I stroll through the isles, I swoon at all of the beautiful things. I am usually a Target fan. The price, quality, and variety are always a homerun for me. But this year, things just hit differently. The color palette this year, and specifically the gingham, just do something for my grandmotherly soul. The pieces are perfection!

Sunday Scaries
As someone who has struggled with anxiety a majority of my life, I find myself trying to cope with the Sunday Scaries most weeks. If you are not familiar with this term, the Sunday Scaries are the feelings of anxiety that tend to appear Sunday afternoon and evening regarding the impending doom of Monday. While I do love a routine, finding myself thrown back into the stress and pressure of a work week can be challenging to accept. Weekends tend to be calm, idealistic, and full of things that I love and choose to do. They are full of relaxing and reenergizing experiences and habits. Once Monday rolls around I tend to feel like I am back to being in a little box that is hard to breathe in. In the midst of feeling anxious, I have tried to implement small comforts into Sunday evenings in an effort to keep myself more calm and relaxed.
