Remember how I said I was super into my living room's kind of Aspen-y vibe, what with the dark wood and exposed beams and such?
I changed my mind.

Jordan is inspiring because she refuses to be thrown off course by people who judge her. And her site is a great collection of simple, unpretentious recipes, smart ideas for housekeeping and decor, and fabulous ways to make the most of New York City, her native town.
This week's Jordan In The House shoot involved things like horses, tiny, fluffy chickens that looked like snowballs, and zebus (look it up).
The DIGS Channel (and my own show, Jordan In The House), launches April 2...one week from today!
Me as a garden nymph at a home scenting event, 2014
I'm not willing to accept that it's almost fall, because my internal calendar remains convinced that it's still April 2020. Or maybe April 2025; who knows! This reluctance-to-embrace-the-new-season is made vastly easier by the fact that it is approximately ten thousand degrees in Southern California at the moment, and I can barely walk my dog around the block without dissolving into a pool of sweat.
You know by now that I'm a bit of a candle obsessive; even when it's hot out, I have candles burning. Beyond being something that's always been a personal habit of mine, it's just kind of necessary when your home is filled with Child and Dog smells (yummmm).

A friend of mine once stopped by without warning, and entered my house only to point at the candle I had burning on my desk. "You," she said, "are the only person I know who actually lights candles when you're just sitting at home by yourself."
That cannot be true. ...Doesn't everybody keep candles lit at all times?

Remember when I went through a phase of taking self-timed photos in my living room with ExerSaucers in the background because I had just had a baby and couldn't leave the house, ever? Good times.
One of my favorite Jordan In The House episodes, with pumpkin-carving tips and ridiculous sound effects.
I love fall.
I hate carving pumpkins. (Like, with a passion.)
Oh, that's such a good spot.
One interesting thing (among many) about moving into a house that you've only ever seen on a computer screen: you don't really know what to bring. Will that lamp fit in the new place? How about that sofa? Where's that desk going to go?
You don't know, and so you guess. And in my case, I guessed wrong in the chair department. See, I happen to have really a lot of...I guess you'd call them "statement" chairs, if you were being fancy - just sort of one-of-a-kind, not-part-of-a-set chairs that I found, and loved, and went home with.
Truth. (Follow my Daily Inspiration board on Pinterest here.)
Link roundup today because my head is completely fried from adding the full-time job that is finding a new place to regular day-to-day work and kid stuff. I don't even watch Friday Night Lights anymore; I pretend to watch it while actually scrolling through endless API scores and inspection reports and Google Earth views of streets I've never stood on. Sigh. I'll be back, Tim Riggins. I'll be back.
Look, you can totally wear a sports bra in public! Like, to a fancy restaurant! (I'd totally wear this one in public. Love it.)
