tart cranberry gin sparklers | fiercely ringing in the new year

winter

Happy New Year’s Evel!! Can you even believe the year is almost over? As I type, I’m feeling like a well-worn mix tape comprised of half a French press of coffee, two glasses of Lucien Albrecht brut rosé, several glasses of water, two plays of BØRNS’ Dopamine, thoughts of a hot shower, and a slight […]

a honeycrisp, pimm’s + old tom gin cocktail | making cozy a priority

gin

It still feels like it should be mid-November to me. In my mind, Thanksgiving happened just a week ago, and I have this false notion that I still have a few more weeks left until Christmas. Just this evening, I counted out the remaining days on one hand, and it hit me that the holiday […]

I trust you enjoyed your time with family or friends {or even treasured time alone}. Steve and I had originally planned to […]

how to make bloody mary mix | my farm-to-glass trip to red gold tomatoes

vodka

I’m sitting at my desk, looking at my weather app and realizing the sunny, sixty-five degree weather we’ve enjoyed over the past three days is about to disappear come Thursday. Just in time for Thanksgiving. And just in time for our heater to break down. My boyfriend’s been tweaking with our house’s antiquated electrical wiring, […]
