Are you a nester? I know that term usually relates to moms to be (and no, I’m not pregnant), but I’m totally a nester. I love tending to my home, cooking up big batches of food for the week, organizing my cupboards, throwing things away, and just making things feel cozy. Today marks the end of a big work project for me, so more than ever I’m looking forward to a weekend at home getting things in order, reading, sleeping, seeing friends, and just getting caught up on life in general. I can’t believe it will be August next week. August! Didn’t this whole summer just begin? I really don’t want to hear about another fall trend. The thought of throwing on a polka dot sweater right now makes me perspire even more. It will be full on summer around here for the next five weeks.
Thanks again for your warm comments on Monday’s post. Did you catch this week’s amazing Plate to Pixel post done by an actual professional photographer? And here are a few recipes that you should most definitely take advantage of while it’s summer and there’s so much amazing produce in season. If anyone has any amazing seasonal recipes I need to whip up, please let me know!
- Peaches Wrapped in Prosciutto
- Blueberry Coffe Cake
- Strawberry Cream Cake
- Roasted Tomato Panzanella
- Grilled Corn with Chili Lime Butter
Have a great weekend! xx

I can totally relate! I’m a huge nester and fear that once I actually am pregnant, I’ll be out of control
There is just something innately in us that yearn to make the best environment for ourselves and our loved ones, and I totally act on it!
I’ve totally been in a nesting mood this week – I’m about ready to cross off all the plans dotting my filofax and spend the next few days indoors, writing and baking and snuggling with my puppy. It makes me feel a teensy bit guilty — seems like a bit of a waste of an NYC summer weekend — but sometimes you just need that you know? Glad to see I’m not the only one!
I am definitely a nester! Which is kinda sad considering I’m only 20.. haha. But hey, whoever I marry will be a lucky guy I guess…? And it’s so true, I can’t believe august is here already! xx
