Such a lovely group of objects, as usual, Erin. At my current stage in life, the article about leaving where you love spoke to me. Thank you for sharing. To great things!
Mmmm, strawberry almond sounds amazing – How have I never heard of it? I need to try it! Such lovely pictures, thank you for sharing 🙂
Keep up the good work!!

Oh man, living in Russia for years was a struggle. I like distance and their personal space (particularly in public spaces) always felt super in-your-face to me!
I’m so glad to hear of companies like PonyBabe and Alabama Chanin who strive for responsible business practices. And I especially liked the beautiful peony picture. They are in bloom here in Virginia, too.
So excited to try out that Almond Milk. Looks like you have a cozy week 🙂

Peonies are some of my favorite flowers. Reminds me that I haven’t seen or bought any in a while!
Thanks for the alert about your newsletter. My dumb Yahoo account had put it in spam!!?!!!
Oh, thank you, thank you, for getting me to re-read “ode on a grecian urn.” And, more generally, deep gratitude for your posts, work and inspiration, Erin!
Strawberry almond milk must be in the air. I personally haven’t made homemade nut milk, but have been freezing and blending the almost-gone-but-still-good strawberries in our fridge with some store bought almond milk, local bee pollen, and half a scoop of grass fed whey protein.
Thank you for reading and noting. I’m always thinking of your family as you stretch into four. I often read on my phone and I had missed your “To Do List”! Love. It reminds me of Martha’s list that used to front her magazines. Hers was ultimately discouraging because it was so aspirational, but yours is seasonal and hopeful.
OF COURSE. Always such a treat to read your musings. I’m just waiting on the day when I get to read them in book form. And just when I was thinking I was the only one to notice that little To Do List… Thank you.
