Our home was featured in Good Housekeeping Magazine and on their website recently. The photos, originally shot by Monica Wang for Apartment Therapy, turned out beautifully in print. (Thanks, Mon!)

ad + GIVEAWAY 🎁 For whatever reason, I STILL cannot get into cooking. (I try, I do.) Luckily for our family, Adam is a magician in the kitchen. We recently upgraded to this space-saving stacking set of cookware from @theoriginalgreenpan, for healthy, non-stick pots and pans that use 30% less cabinet space than traditional sets when stashed away. 🍳 With these, Adam can cook at a lower heat setting and save energy. And unlike traditional nonstick cookware, GreenPan’s ceramic nonstick coating is made without the use of PFAS, PFOA, lead or cadmium, and never releases toxic fumes when accidentally overheated. (It’s also worth noting that they use upcycled stainless steel and aluminum whenever possible, and that their pans are cured in the oven with 60% less CO2 emissions compared to traditional non-stick tools.) Maybe this is the push I need to get into cooking... MAYBE.🤞 Either way, we’re pleased to be partnering with them today for a GIVEAWAY! 🎉 Tag a friend in the comments, and follow @theoriginalgreenpan to be entered to win this space-savvy cookware set— a $500 value. Giveaway closes ‪on 10/24‬. Winner will be announced on my IG Stories ‪on 10/25‬! 📢

Kept himself calm but entertained all weekend here at the tiny house while recovering from a lil’ cold. 🏡💚

Sticking to the cottage this weekend, as West and StanLee are both a bit sick. Still, StanLee managed to jump up into our bed before 7am (his way of requesting breakfast), and West started an energetic pillow fight shortly thereafter. 💥I’m guessing they’re on the mend.
