Always busy, never bored.

My 2024 Holiday Wish List

Is this a list for my husband? A list for myself during holiday sales? No one quite knows. But – alas – here’s what’s on my wishlist this year.

  1. Alice Walk Cashmere Wrap. The chicest airport wrap. For when you get cold at restaurants. Costal-gran moments.
  2. Cotton Colors Ruffled Casserole Dish. I have had this on my wishlist for at least three years. And now that I’m baking bread, I’m adding the bread pan, too. These dishes instantly make whatever you’re making photo-worthy and double as serveware for hosting or just a good oven-to-table meal.
  3. Reebok Workout Step. Look. This is a real-life wishlist. Some of the items have to be practical! But if you’re looking to step up (pun intended) your at-home workouts without an actual bench, this is the one. I like that it can become an incline bench, and the height adjusts. With the baby, I’m working out more at home and feel my coffee table would appreciate fewer footprints.
  4. Hotel Lobby Candle. Another indulgent item that has been on my list for years that I haven’t given into because I’m afraid I’ll get hooked on. But if someone else would like to get me hooked, well – that’s on them. And I’ll love them for it. They also have a fun gift set this year.
  5. Bags set. I’m not married to this particular set, but I think a bags set (cornhole, whatever you call it where you’re at) is such a fun thing to have on hand for hosting – or I love that it can also just be a two-player game. Something to do outside!
  6. David Yurman bracelet. I have been wearing this single bangle for years thinking it would be the start to my stack. I’ve slacked on the stack.
  7. Tapple. Played this at a friend’s and loved it!
  8. Espresso machine. Your girl has been on an espresso kick at home and it may be time to upgrade from the Nespresso machine.
  9. Pottery Barn faux fur blanket. I got this blanket for Christmas last year and it’s SO. GOOD. The weight, the size, the softness – nothing beats it. I now want a second for our basement!
  10. Spanx Air Essentials jumpsuit. Spoiler alert I got this for myself already and it is a DREAM, but now I want it in more colors. Oops.

This embroidered favorite things shirt was SO fun This embroidered favorite things shirt was SO fun to make - completely customizable down to every single thread color.

How to dry hydrangeas for the fall! The best DIY f How to dry hydrangeas for the fall! The best DIY fall decor ✨The key here is picking your hydrangea stems just as they’re starting to turn color, rinsing them in soapy water to get rid of bugs, then using the evaporation method to dry flowers so the water evaporates and doesn’t mold the stems - but the stems dry happy and keep the flowers the color you picked them at. Optional - spray with hairspray to keep them from shedding. These dried hydrangeas will last you all year! Go pick your stems before it’s too late…!

SO happy with how this DIY IKEA Pax closet turned SO happy with how this DIY IKEA Pax closet turned out (my second time building one!) - my only regret is not doing it sooner. All that’s left is doing one other corner + trim, but I’m impatient so you can find me moving clothes in and organizing for the foreseeable future 👗👚🧥SIDENOTE: The new Pax 2.0 are 100x easier to put together than the original - but look the same and are compatible with earlier Pax. I’m a big fan! #ikea #ikeapax #diycloset #paxwardrobes #ikeahack
