Letter from the Founder - April 2022

1. Reconnect with Nature
I love seeing the crocuses popping up in my garden, and all the extra sunshine at this time of year. I plan on indulging in long nature walks and strolls on the beach whenever possible. So many of our designs are inspired by the beauty of the natural world (stay tuned for some exciting new releases coming soon!) 

2. Travel 
I’m so excited to be getting back to traveling. First I’ll be going back  to India, and then while the kids are on spring break, we are heading back to Palm Beach together as a family. And, I’m in the midst of planning an epic summer vacation for my family. Since we haven’t done much travel over the last few years, I’m planning to more than make up for it this summer with a whirlwind trip for the 4 of us. I’m working with a travel agent to plan it all out (which we haven’t done since our honeymoon when we went to Puglia and Sardinia - which was gorgeous!!!). We are hoping to make it to Amsterdam, Paris, Venice, and Greece - I’ll keep you posted, I’m sure there will be some blog posts! 

3. Spring Cleaning 
I always look forward to seasonal cleaning and organizing to swap in some of my favorite clothing. Last year I gave my closets a lot of attention, so now the process of swapping out the clothes in storage and packing up my winter stuff is going to be easier than ever. I’m so excited to bring back all of my favorite spring dresses.

4. Take My Mornings Back 
I’m recommitting to my journaling practice this spring. With the darker days, I just wasn’t in the mood, and my mornings were feeling really rushed. I recently implemented some meal prep tips I found online for making kids lunches in advance (freezing pb&j sandwiches has literally given me my mornings back). I’m getting back into goal setting and reflection now that I’m feeling more inspired with the longer sunny days, and I want to make the most of the warm weather.

PS: With Mother’s Day around the corner, this is your friendly reminder to make a list and share it with your family! Here’s what’s on mine this year:

1. After seeing how much my family loved the fresh pasta when we stayed at Posada Margherita in Tulum recently, I’ve wanted to buy a pasta machine. 

2. A few books on my list this year are the Threebirds Renovations Dream Home How To,  Nom Nom Paleo Let’s Go Simple Feasts+Healthy Eats and Gennaro’s Limoni Vibrant Italian Recipes Celebrating the Lemon (perfect for wearing our lemon pj’s in and cooking up something zesty!). 

3. I love gardening, and there are always great gifts out there. I’ve been eyeing this indoor herb garden, and these stakes are a cool way to reuse wine bottles to keep planters watered when it gets warmer. Or, I always love some heirloom seeds from True Love Seeds.

4. This Lollia bubble bath gets the best reviews -  I’m so interested in trying it. 

5. I love accessories that feel like works of art, like this Olympia Le-tan clutch and these champagne-inspired earrings (SO over the top but kind of go with everything!?)
