earth tones & the anorak

July 14, 2016 By Kristin No Comments

Hello Everyone – I hope you’re having a great week … only two more days to go!

If you’ve been following my Instagram lately, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve got a thing for blues and greens lately — I can’t really explain why, I generally tend to favor neutrals. But these earthy tones have got me smitten … maybe it’s the summer months with all the greenery, flowers, water, etc.

I just went with it here — and paired this beautiful blue anorak with earthy, olive suede platform sandals, distressed jeans, and a gorgeous green paisley scarf. I kept the rest of the look simple and classic: a cream silk tank, neutral bag, and cat eyes.

Both the anorak and shoes are currently on sale too — so be sure to snatch them up fast!

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my post here on Livi’s first birthday (it’s today!) — I’m such a proud mamma (can’t you tell?) 🙂

yours, Kristin

Looking for a quick, healthy, and satisfying break

Looking for a quick, healthy, and satisfying breakfast? Only requirement: you must love dill!

Crack two eggs in a bowl, add a splash of milk, and whisk until fully combined.

Heat a mini skillet (I linked to a few of my favorites here) to medium heat and add a small dab of butter, coating the bottom of the pan.

Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let cook 2-3 minutes. Check that egg is cooked through (you may need to cover and let cook another minute or two). Gracefully (Julia Child-style), flip the egg over, then add shredded dill havarti, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt (love @maldonsalt ). Cover and let cook about one minute more (just until cheese has melted).

Remove from pan to plate and sprinkle with fresh chopped dill.

Serve with toast or your favorite fruit! And if you want to add a little healthy fat to the mix, top with half an avocado.

Bon appétit! 💛

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatev

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
- Philippians 4:8

It can be incredibly difficult in our post-modern culture to fill our minds with beautiful, just, and honorable things. It seems as if we’re in a race to see who can best glorify the grotesque. Pop culture hasn’t met a boundary it isn’t willing to breach. It indulges and celebrates the darkest elements of humanity… music, movies, art, architecture … they don’t even attempt to stir your soul anymore, they’re focused on one thing, and one thing only: defiance. Defiance against all that is good, beautiful, and true.

One of the primary reasons I spend so much time creating beauty in our home is because I want it to be a refuge from the madness outside. I want my children to feel the goodness in this space, and to see evidence of God’s grace, creativity, and power. I want them to live everyday what the Apostle Paul commanded in his letter to the Philippians.

Your environment and your mind are your destiny, so make them beautiful. 💛 #beautymatters

If you want to create beautiful things you need to consciously surround yourself with beauty … starting with your workspace! I finally got mine in working order, and I’m in love with this cabinet … it’s actually meant for a bathroom vanity, but why not an art supply cabinet?? 💛 #creatingbeautifulspaces

Sunday morning breakfast was the yummiest homemade

Sunday morning breakfast was the yummiest homemade popovers with honey butter and strawberry jam 🍓… grab a popover pan and whip these up (so easy)!

Preheat oven to 450F … briskly whisk 3 eggs & 1 1/2 cups whole milk in a large bowl. Then whisk in 1 1/2 cups flour & 1/2 tsp salt until all lumps are broken up and dissolved. Mix in 2 Tbsp melted butter & 1 tsp sugar.

Place the popover pan in the oven for 2 mins, then remove and fill each cup three-quarters full with batter. Bake for 20 mins, then reduce heat to 350F and bake for another 20 mins. Popovers should be golden brown on top. Remove from oven, turn them out of the pan (they’ll just pop right out!) and serve immediately!

Great with whipped honey butter or preserves. If you’re looking for a good jam, @stdalfourusa is our favorite … their strawberry rhubarb rivals my grandma’s recipe 💛 #crisplittlesundaybrunch

My first piece ✨ … I still need to receive prints and launch my Etsy shop before I start selling, but this is your preview! Each print will come with a unique fabric matting, sourced from a couple of my favorite local fabric stores. I’ll have individual prints, and some sets as well. My original intention was to include birds, botanicals, and maybe some landscapes, but I suspect they’ll be some fun wanderlust and whimsy thrown in too! I’d love to hear your thoughts … what would you like to see hanging in your home? Happy weekend all! 💛 #wonderandwhimsy

Hello! Well, after a very long drawn out sick per

Hello! Well, after a very long drawn out sick period (anyone else dealing with post-COVID monster viruses?!), we’re back … but with some changes. After giving it much thought, I’ve decided to give the blog a pause for awhile.

I’ll still share weekly looks, home inspo, and nuggets of wisdom, but it’ll all be here and on Pinterest.

One of the biggest challenges we all face, myself included, is how to manage our time, prioritize what we cherish most, and accomplish our goals. While I enjoy the blog, managing it has taken precious time away from other goals. If I’m honest, goals I’ve been too afraid to pursue. No more. I’ve been wanting to start an art business and write a book (or two) for awhile. It’s clear to me that the blog has become a pleasant distraction, and a place for me to hide.

Finding time for my husband, three small children, part-time homeschool, endless activities, a part-time law professorship, and creating a beautiful space to call home takes time and work. I don’t outsource much, I do it all.

And to all the other full-time mamas out there, while many people may look at your life and think, “what does she do all day?”, you know the truth. It’s work. It’s tough. I’ve done both — full-time as a lawyer and full-time as a mommy. Homemaking and mothering is so often unnoticed and taken for granted, but I truly believe it’s the most important work. And one day, the fruits of your labor will be realized.

In the meantime, be ruthless with your free time. Paint the picture. Start the business. Write the book. Time passes so quickly … make the most of it 💛
