Gifts for 6 Year Olds
The Best Gifts for 6 Year Olds We have two sweet 6 year olds in our family and I am so excited to share what I’ve found. At first, I had a hard time zero-ing in on what a 6 year old might like. It feels like has been so long since our kids were in early elementary school. Then, I came across a website that had things that are unique, would keep them busy, and (mostly) didn’t have 1001 parts. The gifts aren’t all from that company- it was just a really great jumping off point!

Cozy Autumn Living Room
Hello and Happy Fall! It has been awhile (maybe 2021?) since I took photos of our living room in the fall, which is kind of a shame, given all the coziness and autumn colors we have in there. You will notice a lot has stayed the same. Two major changes were our swivel chairs and (finally) a coffee table. Okay… I think that’s enough of an introduction. Welcome to our Cozy Autumn Living Room.

The Quarterly 06
The Quarterly 06 Somehow it is already fall and already time for another Quarterly. I have to admit that I didn’t mind (at all) that summer decided to stick around. We were even able to have a family beach day on September 27! That said, as much as I enjoy the warmer weather and wish it could last forever, I have also enjoyed slowly thinking about the holidays. Let’s get on with it: in no particular order… holiday decor, holiday clothing, our latest trip that I think about almost every day, possible projects, design trends… **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive…

Where to Stay in Hudson Valley
Where to Stay in Hudson Valley To be fair, I have stayed in only one place in Hudson Valley. That said, I’m not even a little bit tempted to check out other lodging options if we go again. When we go again. I could literally move right in and never leave. Send the kids.

Modern Organic Teen Girl Bedroom
Over the past year, we have slowly updated our teen daughter’s room. This has included a new dresser, rug, and bed. Oh, and the vanity is fairly new too. It looks so grown up! But, I guess that’s the way time works.

Let me begin by saying that if you enjoy discovering new restaurants, boutique shopping, and gallery browsing, then Montreal is for you.
