amazon home favorites

 1. Cotton duvet cover - We just recently updated Georgia's room with a larger bed therefore I needed to get new bedding. We went with a white duvet cover and let the pillows add the color. Typically I buy duvet covers at Tuesday Morning or TJ Maxx, but I could not find a simple white full cover so I looked on Amazon and gave this one a chance.  It is very soft and I really like that it has a zipper rather than buttons.

2. Outdoor Lights - I have been wanting to change up our outdoor lights by the garage for a while and just got around to doing that. I was looking for something simple and black and that coordinated with our front porch light. I also wanted the lights to be larger than what was previously on either side of the garage. I found these on Amazon and thought we would give them a try. They are the perfect size for our space. I loved them so much I bought another one for our back deck. 

3.Runner - I have had a sisal runner in the kitchen for several years now, but decided I wanted to try adding in a little color without spending a fortune.  This runner works well here. You definitely need a rug pad, but overall I like it. 

4. Tea Kettle - I am a nightly hot tea drinker and our previous kettle had seen better days, so I decided to try this one out. I like that it is very lightweight and the perfect size. The brass color adds some warmth to the stove too. I am now seeing my reflection in the kettle which is not flattering (ha!).

5. Drawer knobs - As I mentioned earlier, we did some updates in Georgia's room and one of the updates was switching out the drawer knobs to her dresser. These simple brass knobs work perfectly and came in a pack of 12.

the best linen drawstring pants

Since I have been working from home full-time, my daily outfits have changed drastically. If you are like me, every few days I like to break up the routine of active-wear. I still choose comfy clothes to wear like a cotton dress or skirt or my most recent find are these linen pants.  They come in lots of different colors. The length and fit are perfect for me. I ordered size x-small because the reviews said that they run large. I like linen pants to be loose, but not too baggy and these fit perfectly. I wanted to order the white ones, but was afraid they may be too see-thru so I ordered the olive color and love them. I may order the white ones next and will report back about them.  

I also ordered this white tee to pair with the pants and it is honestly my new favorite white tee.  You cannot see thru it and it has a v-neck that is not too low cut for all my zoom calls:)

Here is a rough selfie if you are curious what it looks like in person. I am just wearing it around the house while working today, but last week I paired it with a jean jacket and sandals for a quick outing and I really loved that look. 

Happy Memorial Day weekend friends! I am thankful for our country and for those that have served and continue to serve to protect our freedom! 

most used quarantine purchase

We are living in some crazy times, right?! I think we all have been purchasing items for our home since we are spending more time there. Our most used quarantine purchase has been this hammock. Thankfully, we have had great weather here in the Carolinas. I think a hammock is a great addition to any backyard. You can buy one with a stand or attach it to a nice shady spot with trees. I decided to go with a natural-looking hammock for our yard, but there are some great patterns and colors available too.
