❤️ Weekend Favorites: Thanksgiving prep guide + 30 ways to be kind


Weekend Wisdom: If catching up worked, we'd be caught up by now.

This weekend, the clocks turned back and the curtain lights went up. We started this tradition a few years ago. We leave the curtain lights up until the clocks change again and we take them down to welcome spring.

I love this cozy tradition that keeps our home light and bright. It's a daily simple pleasure to enjoy them. Curtain lights, candles, coffee and good books make for a beautiful way to start the day.
