And just like that, we’ve made it to another Saturday! This past week, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen (with a little help from my mom) cooking and photographing 12 new recipes. I can’t wait to share them with you! I’ve also started dabbling in some holiday prep. I know, I know—talking about Christmas already feels a bit early, but I like to plan ahead so everything’s ready when you need it. Whether you’re visiting the blog, following along on Instagram, or just here for the fun, you might see a sprinkle of holiday cheer. Feel free to tuck it away for when the time is right for you! Speaking of holiday fun, last year I painted and sold a bunch of bottle brush tree paintings. (If you missed them, you can check them out here.) This week, I dug into my Christmas stash and started working on a few more. I already have five that will be available soon, along with some other new paintings. I’ll keep you posted when they’re ready to go! With that, I’m off to enjoy the sunshine on this crisp autumn day. There’s nothing quite like a little sun and a chill in the air—it’s my favorite. In case you missed it, I rounded up a few of my favorites from the blog this week. You can check them out below. Happy weekending! If you need a no-fuss, delicious treat for the holiday season, this Cranberry Pistachio Bark has you covered.
