Hi, I’m Brittany - a new mom, maker, and a lover of animals, cozy spaces & bubble baths. I overuse emojis & strongly dislike unpacking. This is a collection of my thoughts & ideas from the adventures of being a new mom to my efforts to create a well-designed life in the most intentional, hand-crafted ways.

How do you manage your busy seasons? I’m currently in the thick of one— lots of late nights & (what feel like) endless to-do lists. I know these times come in waves & often are a time for growth & new energy but it’s hard to see the light at the end when you’re deep in the throes of them. As someone who craves slow living my automatic rhythm & tendencies conflict with that yearning. I’m a naturally “busy minded” person, my brain never seems to stop & it feels like whenever I find a moment of margin my head comes up with dozens of new tasks, goals & ideas. It’s a constant straddle between my head & my heart. These 3 things help me tend to my need for slow living while in the weeks of busy: 1. Having something on the horizon to look forward too. My husband & I are headed back to Tulum in October (where we went for our honeymoon!) to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary & it is helpful to know a time of complete rest is coming + it’s a wonderful place for my mind to go when I need a moment of mental retreat. I’m saving this month’s @skylar scent club for that trip & keeping it on my desk as a little reminder of the salt air days ahead (plus using the bookmark they come with as the same reminder!). 2. I like to pick out a book I’ve really wanted to read & dig in. I know that feels counterproductive but I don’t just sit & read & put everything aside— rather I find myself more intentional & focused with my tasks so that I can have a few extra minutes to indulge in a book each day. When your mind is buzzing it’s also a great way to slow it down before bed. I finally want to sink my teeth into Joyful! 3. I amp up my routines. By setting routines my daily & weekly actions become less things that require headspace & my actions & decisions can somewhat run on autopilot.
I’ve sang “You Are My Sunshine” to him since our first day together in the hospital. Now at bedtime he touches my nose, looks me in the eyes & says “You are my sunshine” 😭😭😭 & it’s one of my favorite titles yet. 🌞 (yes that’s a bruise on his cheek the size of Rhode Island— this kid plays HARD & has many boo boos to prove it 🤪)
‘Tis the season for PLATTER LUNCHES & it’s alllllll plant-based! 🤤 This is one of my favorite things to both assemble & enjoy with my family. The boys try everything so it’s a great way to introduce them to new foods & it can be a quick way to use ingredients already in our fridge (especially those in the verge of going bad). Both boys are obsessed with the vegan cheese slices (my husband & I didn’t even get a bite 😆), pickles, & allllll the dips. Otto gobbled up the dried figs & Buddy loves the cherries (we bite in half & give him the side without the pit 👌🏼). My husband & I devour the olive muffalata & anything else we can get our hands on before the boys do. You can throw them together a variety of ways!! Here is what’s on our 100% plant-based 🌱 lunch platter + swipe to see the aftermath & the boys enjoying cubed watermelon for dessert. 😋 + fresh veggies (we used asparagus, carrot, broccoli, cucumber, sweet peppers & assorted tomatoes) + 1/2 a block of @daiyafoods medium cheddar style cheese, sliced + homemade vegan ranch (I kind-of use the @thetastyveganofficial recipe) + @oasisnaturals almond dip with chia & hemp seeds + @thatpickleguy_ Olive Muffalata from @costco_doesitagain + cocktail pickles + marinated artichoke hearts from @costco_doesitagain + @miyokoscreamery vegan roadhouse cheese spread + dried figs (SO GOOD 😛) + blueberries & Rainier cherries + @crunchmastercrackers Multi-Grain 6 Seed crackers + warm crusty bread + glass of rosé on the side 🌞 (for mama) + cubed watermelon for dessert (I sprinkle mine with @traderjoes chile lime seasoning or @tajinmexico)
