November 18, 2024 by jessica Leave a Comment

Our Friendsgiving often turns into a “Sidesgiving” since no one really wants to take on a main course (and we have so many different dietary preferences and restrictions that a main dish is difficult to nail down). Now there’s a new trend emerging: “Dipsgiving.”

Where to go in 2025.

The power of annual traditions.

This week’s gift pick: a portable charger that takes up minimal space. It’s a great stocking stuffer!

Plus, a roundup of covetable finds.

I saw these tin star ornaments on the Schoolhouse site last week, and I’m pretty sure they’re sourced from this Canadian factory. They’re cheaper on the Pietersma Tinworks site, even after shipping fees. You can also find the tin icicle ornaments that Schoolhouse also carries. They’re wonderful for filling in gaps on the Christmas tree and reflecting light.

We just got back from a weeklong trip to London and the medieval city of York.

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
