The Cozy Chaos of October
Martha Stewart, a Cookie Swap with Strangers, and... Chocolate Sardines?
Okay, real talk—
Martha Stewart is about to take over Netflix on the 30th, and yes, I've already signed up for the Food52 holiday cookie exchange because, I’ve been told, I have a habit of overcommitting. Pfft.
There's this pressure to have everything perfectly planned by now.
But here's the thing:
The magic isn't in perfection. It's in the layers, the quirks, the story your home tells when it's lived in—kind of like that well-worn leather chair that just gets better with age.
Do I wish I was a leather chair?
Anyway, with everything going on in the world, I want you to promise me one thing:
Give yourself some grace this week.
Breathe a little deeper, and remember, it’s not that serious. There’s always tomorrow.
I'm sharing my best-kept secrets, things that bring joy back into the season without making us lose our minds.
We’re doing this together, and if I can make it work, you can too.
We’ve got this, I promise.
