Inspirations
All the things that brought me joy!
Happy Sunday! Sundays are reserved for my Inspirations column, which details all of the things I saw or experienced throughout the past week that made me happy, brought me a sense of calm, or otherwise inspired me to take note. There’s no new recipe this week, but my fiancé and I made up some spaghetti and dropped rosemary garlic sausage into the sauce and it was delicious!
This past week has been full of new and exciting things for me. I got my first ever mani-pedi and had a fun time doing it and shopping around with my future mother-in-law. I flew up to Boston for my fiancé’s cousin’s wedding, and had a great time with all of the cousins and extended family. All-in-all, it was a great week filled with lots of joyful, inspiring things.
