Dining chairs via Walmart Vibe check! How’s everyone holding up out there? Florida is in the thick of it with COVID-19, so we’re still spending a lot of time at home. (And I’m on the hunt for more cute face masks.) Last weekend my parents came over for dinner to…

Happy First Day of Fall! How are you celebrating? Perhaps with some pumpkin-flavored coffee concoction or an autumnal #OOTD? I’m so ready for fall weekends with open-all-the-windows weather!
