If you work in an office building, does it live up

If you work in an office building, does it live up to the ‘freezing office building’ memes? My office is a year-round tundra, but the summer air conditioning is especially chilly. Today’s blog post is a roundup of my favorite layering items to stay chic from sun-baked car to Antarctic office.

A fun surprise this weekend from my husband was a day trip to see the @cincyartmuseum and have lunch at @madtreebrewing. It was well timed since I had already written a blog post about a few artists who have inspired me over the years (and in general learning to enjoy art again after studying it in grad school 😂). Post is up on the website today!

I’m back! It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and I have nothing prepared, although I did wear green today 🍀 On the blog, I’m talking about a completely different subject- everyone’s fascination with the manor house in literature and on Instagram and in life. What are your favorite real and fictional homes?

We’ve had beautiful weather these last few days, and I’m enjoying doing school pickup on foot instead of sitting in a car line forever. The spring feels, the cricket episode of Downton Abbey, and my unraveling cheap tennis sweater from Amazon have inspired me to finally put up a new blog post! Are you a tennis sweater/cricket jumper fan, too?

A throwback to warmer weather days. It’s been a very long February, hence my last feed post being three weeks ago! We’ve been dealing with some car damage after the snow/ice storm, plus a stomach bug is making its rounds through the house. (I type as I recover today.) I’m ready for sunshine and spring! 🌸🌸

Still over here waiting for some snow. I never thought I would say ‘I miss impassable mountain roads,’ but I was a little jealous of the East Coast snowstorm pictures I saw last week! We just don’t get large snowfalls like that here on a regular basis, although it’s been very, very cold so far this year. Have you gotten snow where you live? Are you a fan of snow?

Today’s blog post was tremendous fun to write, and I hope it makes you laugh. I rounded up four things in my home that are a) twenty or more years old and b) have been treated terribly over their long lifetimes. Despite the callous disregard shown to them, these items have never quit. Visit my bio link to see what horrors the @faribaultmill blanket, the @burberry scarf, the @llbean camp mocs and a mystery pair of cashmere-lined leather gloves have endured.

The reading one does in elementary/middle school is arguably the most formative reading of a person’s life. Although I’m inspired by a number of writers I discovered in adulthood or high school, I go back to five particular children’s books every single year. Having rounded them up for a blog post, I’m seeing a very definite pattern in them 😂 Go check out the list on the website, and let me know if you’ve read and loved any of them, too!

I’m not really a big New Year’s Eve person. Especially with so much uncertainty in the world right now, I approach 2022 with mixed feelings. More about this is on the website. Despite that, 2021 was a big year for me. I launched my book series and appreciate everyone’s support and the response that’s been beyond all my expectations. Although I’m a little weary and wary heading into 2022, there’s so much I can’t wait to share with you in the coming year! I’ve so enjoyed connecting with all of you and wish you a wonderful New Year! 🎉🎉

"I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time

"I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round—apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that—as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys."
One more sleep 🎄
