Welcome to my blog! My name is Taylor and I’ve been sharing my style, travels, coffee adventures, and simple moments of joy here since 2010. My goal is to share the things I love by way of my own photography. Now, my focus is on living intentionally amid the noise and doing the things I love: reacquainting myself with my own 30something style, creating a happy home, photography, and everything in between. Even still, my favorite things to capture are everyday moments.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out how quick and easy (and stress-free) it was to bake my own biscotti. Even more so, the list of ingredients was manageable and it yielded almost 20 biscotti! I might have eaten a few out of the oven…but I can’t remember…I think I did.

Read MoreThree blog posts within a week! Well, if anything, Coronavirus certainly is improving my blog-writing tendencies. It is also making me extremely conscious of not eating too much. I am too scared to venture out to the grocery store! Takeout for us stopped a long time ago, too. So, that simply means I am thinking about snacks/meals that help me stay fuller longer, and this avocado toast is one of my go-to’s lately.
Read MoreOther than the terribly frightening spread of Coronavirus, which is dominating the news and my mind, this actually was a pretty idyllic day. Over coffee and even a pot of tea, my mom and I worked together on some lesson plans for school (virtual, of course) and enjoyed some fresh-outta-the-oven buttermilk biscuits. The recipe is from The Magnolia Table.
Read MoreThis “Harvest Salad” is a Corner Bakery Copycat that turned out really surprisingly fantastic! When made fresh, it is the perfect crisp lunch that leaves you full-ish, but not stuffed. The fresh zing of the apple paired with the sharp blue cheese is my favorite!
