Lately, I’ve been really trying to slow down and enjoy the little things—lighting a scented candle while I sip my coffee, bookmarking a new recipe, or treating myself to something special just because. I thought it would be fun to start a new series here where I share 9 favorite things Vol.1— things I’m loving, wanting, and excited to try. Just an easy little way to document the sweet moments and simple joys each week. Enjoy!
9 FAVORITE THINGS VOL. 1
What I’m loving, wanting, and excited to try.
Here’s what I’m loving lately…
🐾 The Sweetest Morning Cuddles with Goldie
Honestly, my favorite part of the day. Goldie is such a love bug in the morning and it’s become our little ritual—slow starts, puppy snuggles, and soft sunshine streaming in. It’s one of those everyday things that fills my heart.
🌱 A Little Win: Down 7 Pounds!
This one feels good. I’ve been quietly focusing on health and feeling more like myself again. I still have a goal in mind, but I’m celebrating this first win with lots of gratitude and fresh motivation.
🍍 Treated Myself to This Beautiful Pineapple Dress
I ordered it as a little treat to celebrate the progress I’ve made lately, and it’s just so cheerful. Classic, playful, and something I’ll reach for again and again this summer.
🕯️ Currently Burning: Sun and Citron Candle
Bright, citrusy, and perfect for spring. I light it in the kitchen every morning while I make my coffee and it makes the whole house smell happy.
🍳 Loving: My Husband’s Cooking
He’s always been the one cooking in our family, and lately, he’s been taking it to a whole new level. Every meal feels like a little culinary adventure, and it’s such a joy to share those family moments together around the table. And truly—he’ll make me whatever I want. It’s the sweetest thing.
Here’s what I’ve been wanting lately…
🌊 Dresses for Nantucket Nights
One of my favorite parts of getting ready for a trip is planning what I’ll wear. This year I’m hoping to have a dress I love for every evening on Nantucket. So far, I have three definite ones picked out. This floral dress, this pineapple dress, and this dress in light pink. And I just ordered this seaside dress I featured in my recent Looks I Love post. It’s cheerful, easy, and feels just right for those golden hour strolls.
🐚 A Few Pretty Pieces for the House
I’ve also been eyeing some updates for our home—things that feel fresh and summery. These Copa chairs have been on my wishlist for a while now, and I think they’d be perfect at either end of our table. I’m also loving these iris floral curtains for the dining room. Just a few thoughtful touches to welcome the season in.
Here’s what I’m excited to try…
🫐 This Blueberry Galette Recipe I Bookmarked
It popped up and immediately made me want to spend a quiet morning in the kitchen, baking something beautiful just because. There’s something so peaceful about baking on a weekend, especially when berries are in season.
📚 A New Book on My Nightstand
Starting Funny Story by Emily Henry this week. I’ve heard it’s such a great spring read—light, charming, and just what I’m in the mood for. I’ve been making more time to read lately.
That’s what’s been on my heart (and wishlist) this week. I’m so glad I started this little series—it’s been such a fun way to slow down and take note of the sweet things bringing me joy lately. Whether it’s something simple like a candle in the morning or dreaming up a Nantucket wardrobe, it all adds up to a life that feels more intentional. I hope it inspires you to make space for the things you’re loving too.
