Pantone’s Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse
Pantone named Mocha Mousse as its 2025 Color of the Year and I must admit I was disappointed. My initial reaction was that this color was blah and moving into a new year, I wanted something fun and vibrant. This is not my favorite color and I have very little in my home and closet. [Read On]
Wine of the Week: Vin Velouté
My husband and I aren’t golfers, but we love the idea of hanging out at a clubhouse. We actually live within walking distance of a country club, but it seems silly to join and not golf. Enter Cooper’s Hawk… John and I had dinner there last year, and we got the pitch to join their [Read On]
One Little Word: Legacy
Welcome 2025! If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’ve been on a self-improvement journey since 2017 when I started The Miracle Morning. Looking back on some of these old posts makes me realize how much I’ve grown since then. In 2019, I started choosing One Little Word to help guide and direct me. This [Read On]
Here We Go One More Time
So about that comeback…I got three posts in last year and life got in the way again. But here we are again in 2025 ready to resuscitate this blog. I have a long list of blog post ideas in my phone and I keep adding to it. It’s one of the things I always want [Read On]
Pantone’s Color of the Year: Peach Fuzz
Pantone has named Peach Fuzz as their 2024 Color of the Year. This is such a fun spring color and reminds me of my favorite drink – a Bellini. This is the 25th year of Pantone announcing a color of the year and I think it’s a fun tradition to imagine how to incorporate these [Read On]
Wine of the Week: Mumm Napa
For my 40th birthday in 2022, John and I went on an amazing trip to Napa. I didn’t schedule any wine tastings until we arrived in California and I knew I wanted to get bubbles on the list. We were able to book at Mumm and it was the most perfect day driving out there. [Read On]
One Little Word: Elevate
I first started choosing One Little Word for the year in 2019, and it made all the difference! Ever since then, I’ve chosen a word every year that helps guide me and gives me direction. 2024’s word is ELEVATE! When I was thinking about my word and what I wanted to accomplish in the new year, [Read On]
Happy New Year: The Blog is Back!
I published my last blog post four days before my daughter was born in 2021. What a wild ride it’s been. We have the most wonderful toddler, Cassandra, and I have been focused on being her mother. I never meant to pause the blog, but it kept getting pushed to the back burner. As I [Read On]
The Book Was Better Book Club: Firefly Lane
Having just come off of our last book pick, A Simple Favor, I’m ready to switch gears back to a TV series. Firefly Lane on Netflix has already received a ton of hype so I thought it was the perfect selection for our next pick. The series stars Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke. From the [Read On]
The Book Was Better Book Club: A Simple Favor
Last year I started a new book club that would specifically focus on books that have been turned into movies or TV shows. We had a great first run with Little Fires Everywhere. I had every intention of keeping this going, but as you may have noticed in my previous post, I’m having a baby! [Read On]
