This week has been dominated by news of devastation and struggle. Tough times remind us to appreciate what we have, and seek comfort in family, friends, and home. A warm meal shared with loved ones is more important than we realize on a daily basis. Take some time this weekend to appreciate small pleasures, get cozy, and devour some delicious comfort food…these recipes will get you started!

 salt + pepper

Our little baby shakers! There is a double meaning as well, as mr. fleurishing and I have names that begin with s + p, and have always jokingly said we go together like salt and pepper. How appropriate for our mini-me's, right?! We hadn't planned on involving the babies in halloween this year, simply because they are only 3 months old. However, after seeing these costumes I couldn't resist. So we had fun dressing them up for photos and grammy & grampy, but we will not be trick or treating. Can you imagine-they don't even have teeth to decay. Wishing everyone a happy halloween!

I am officially thirty-three years old today…do you see it in the tortoise shell?! Totally on trend, right? Thirty-two was an amazing, beautiful, memorable year, and the year to come holds so much excitement for me! The term "birthday" has taken on a whole new meaning now, as I celebrate the two little lives we brought into this world. They are my precious gifts, now and forevermore. I also consider all of you gifts, and I treasure the friendships I have formed online. Thank you for reading, as always!
