I love how you end it with, I can't wait for the next one...no, "I" can't wait for the next one! You are so inspirational as I love your decorating :) Would love to have seen the luncheon with your friends and what you cooked...salmon, yum! What else did you serve?
Lauren you never disappoint!! I live in Alabama and am now in a way smaller home than my first of 25 years, although it’s a challenge in space… I was quite experienced in decor and cooking the cleaning not as much just fair, but your constant push for perfection has re=inspired me to push through this second phase of my life as I am newly remarried and it’s finally my chance to co-parent two kids, I could not birth my own. I have always loved to decorate, cook and now as of you clean way more than I ever imagined I would. My husband is a neat freak in some ways and this certainly is a plus, although we bump heads on how it should be done. He refuses my wishes on being more sanitary.. yet will not allow our pets indoors! I always had my babies indoors before him and life is so boring without em inside and quite sad! I am completely jealous of all your fur babies and love your style of decor, I was more traditional before but changed out entirely to farmhouse to fit the new home, lay of the land and atmosphere we now share. My food palette is the only thing that hasn’t changed from my past as I love gourmet and over the top recipes… but there has never been authentic appreciation of the extra preparation outside myself. I refuse to give it up or reduce myself to basic recipes, I do make things extra on request in plainer form to compromise and please the fam. I have become obsessed with checking in with your seasonal decor on your porch before I purchase new items and for extra inspo. Thanks for the array of veggies, you are why I now love butternut and acorn squash! Can’t wait to try your tomahawk steaks recipe this summer and I absolutely loved your Halloween decor each and every display!! Love that you enjoy wine as much as I do and I plan to try some beer to broaden my taste palette. You are absolutely wonderful… thanks again!!!
