This time of year is a wonderful reminder to be thankful and the simple act of writing down one thing each day that you are grateful for is a beautiful act of self-care that will truly bless you so you can bless others. Win, win!

With the holiday season quickly approaching, I begin thinking about all of the many holiday gatherings that are quickly approaching as well. I’m sharing a list of my favorite go-to table setting essentials that help me approach hosting gatherings with ease. Hoping it will inspire you to start your table setting essentials collection too!

The change of season in and of itself is refreshing as we move from hot to cool, from outdoors to indoors, and from light and bright to rich and deep. Until now, I have never thought about the idea that fall allows us to make an easy transition between the dramatic differences of summer and winter. But fall welcomes us gently back indoors, quietly inviting us to step into layers of textures, colors, fragrances, and flavors.
