it’s been such a gift watching luke grow in his love for breadmaking within our little kitchen. breadmaking is such an art form. every small step is so meaningful. 

 once a perfect golden loaf of artisan bread is pulled out of the oven, every ounce of love & attention is worth made worth it. we slather our delicious slices with homemade jam & a pat of butter.

here are luke’s recipes…

 – when beginning, he started with this delightful & easy no-knead bread recipe from the new york times.

– since advancing in his love for breadmaking, he has moved onto the norwich sourdough bread recipe. it’s a bit more challenging but worth the effort.

do you bake bread? we’d love to hear your breadmaking stories!

love,

our home has it’s quirks & it’s definitely not perfect, but we do cozy well. 

with a few candles lit, our favorite seasonal decor on display, warm muffins from the oven, hot cocoa mix within reach, our bucket list made & quilts ready for bundling – we are indeed ready for autumn. 

today i thought i would share a handful of cozy corners within our home inspired by autumn & the cooler season ahead. i hope they inspire you to fluff your corners, purchase a few pumpkins & sip on a warm cup of tea.  

i just love what i do. 

on a thursday afternoon in october, i get to style the perfect little halloween-inspired popcorn bar for friends. & then share it with you.
