I absolutely love the change of the seasons from summer to fall. It brings with it a reset for both my lifestyle and my home; I cook more, I add cozy touches that are used in our day-to-day, etc. Etsy is the perfect place for me to grab unique, beautiful pieces for my home every fall. From candles that bring in the autumn feels to…
For the last 6 years, I have patiently awaited the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so that I can snag great pieces for my wardrobe at a great price. The sale works in reverse to any usual discount method in that the prices during the sale are discounted, but the price goes up when the sale ends.

January in Kansas City means low temperatures, cozying up by the fireplace, and warm meals. So for this month’s dinner party, we had to find foods that were comfort and warmth embodied in a meal. Enter chili and bread! I had never made a chili until this very meal, so I am glad that Pinterest was able to help me find an easy crock-pot chili…
