A Weekend in Nantucket

USA
Nantucket has been on my bucket list ever since I read Elin Hilderbrand’s book 28 Summers. We had an opportunity to drop our kids with their grandparents in Ohio and squeeze in a weekend getaway for us. I suggested Nantucket and Eric immediately began his research. It’s not the easiest place to get to unless you’re on the East Coast, but the idea of being out in a place where so many of my beach-reads take place felt like...

Our Kitchen Island Renovation

OUR HOME
I am so excited to show you our kitchen island renovation that we did this summer! It’s been a dream a long time in the making (mostly for my husband). I was oddly content with the wide space between our island and stovetop (mostly for the dance parties), but Eric was determined to maximize this space. Because of this wide gap, our actual living area downstairs was pretty small. The first step in figuring out whether this renovation would...

Santa Barbara with Kids

USA
We took our kids to our happy place last week and it was magical. Ever since we visited Santa Barbara when I was pregnant with Charlie 5 years ago, it has become the destination Eric and I love traveling to most. From it’s dreamy beaches, perfect weather, and abundance of activities, we were determined to experience a week out there with our children. This was the first trip we have taken with our kids that wasn’t to visit a...

The Coffee Read No. 4

BLOGGING
Wow. Summer. Does anyone else feel like time is passing faster than it ever has? I can’t believe we are on the cusp of July. Between house renovations, family weddings, and travel, we’ve been kind of running around with our heads cut off. I’m going to soak up this last week of “summer school” before we head out on another family adventure! It’s one that I’ve been looking forward to since we booked it in January. My FAVORITE place!...

San Miguel de Allende

ABROAD
Trust me when I say that San Miguel de Allende will be the next hottest destination in Mexico in the upcoming few years. After a weekend spent in this beautiful city with friends, I know why more people are getting married and venturing here instead of the coastal towns. It has an allure unlike other spots. San Miguel de Allende is one of the most beautiful and enchanting cities that is rich in color & culture, known for its...

More Art, New Ideas

ART
Hi friends! You’re probably noticing a little change around here. I’ve kind of shifted my creativity lately and have been spending more time painting than blogging. There’s this peace I’ve found with painting that brings me a deeper sense of self. With zero pressure and endless possibility, I find this creative outlet simply therapeutic. I have a feeling that The Autumn Girl will shift right along with me and you’ll see more art on my social channels and here...

Get the Babysitter

LESSONS AND TIPS
Lately I’ve felt so fortunate in our crazy schedule to have “me” time via babysitting and how important that investment has been for my mental health and wellbeing. So I thought I’d share some tips on getting a babysitter , because I think as parents, we all need a little break from our kiddos. And I know many of you, especially new moms, find these first steps a little bit scary! Charlie was just 4 or 5 weeks old...

Warm Weather Inspiration

Collages
Can y’all believe the warm weather we are having cross-country? I know many of you are having summer-like heat already and those of us in Texas are already experiencing temperatures at 100!  While it’s uncomfortably hot, I can’t help but reach for those light dresses and outfits with all the pretty prints. I thought I’d round up a few pieces I’ve eyed lately… bring on the color! Shop the Post: JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it...

Power Packed Veggie Bowl

RECIPES
I thought I had shared this a few weeks ago and apparently I didn’t, but this salad is so good, it needs a permanent place on my blog. I’ve been trying to eat less meat and increase the healthy fats and vegetables in my diet so I created this power packed salad that is both filling and refreshing. The best part about it is you can add just about any vegetable you have in your refrigerator and the dressing...

Our Powder Room Makeover

OUR HOME
I am so excited to show you the transformation of our powder bath. I think this may be one of the coolest makeovers we have had in our home. Especially since I couldn’t remember any of the tile/wallpaper we picked. With shipping delays, we just finished renovations that we had ordered materials for last summer! This renovation made a boring powder bath transform into something I could imagine being in a hotel. The wallpaper itself makes the room. I...
