Happy Birthday, Betsy. 🤍
We love you so much and are so grateful for every laugh, every memory, and every moment we’ve shared together. Because of you I met Jeff and I’m forever thankful.🥹
Here’s to celebrating you today and wishing you the happiest year ahead. We love you! 🥂✨

I bought this sweet little chair for Scarlett to use while she’s staying with us this weekend… but before she even had the chance to sit in it, Maggie decided she’d found her new favorite spot. 🥹🤍
It unfolds into the cutest little chaise lounge, it’s incredibly soft, and the removable cover is washable. Best part? It’s only $39 👏🏼
Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the link in a DM. ✨

We moved everything… 😂
…only to realize we loved the original layout the most.
Comment SHOP and I’ll send you all the patio details in a DM. 🤍
(The rug is a custom 15’ x 6’ outdoor rug, and it ended up fitting this space perfectly)
All this little patio really needed was a new rug, a few fresh flowers, and a little trial and error until everything felt just right. 🤍
Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make a space feel new again.
Now we’re ready to enjoy slow summer evenings out here. ✨
Question for you… are you the type to know exactly where everything belongs, or do you rearrange it a few times before it finally feels right? 🤍

Jeff made mini baked French toast this morning, so I thought I’d bring you along. 🤍
Jeff’s Baked French Toast
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
* 1 loaf French bread
* 1 cup brown sugar, divided
* 6 large eggs
* ¼ cup half-and-half
* ¼ cup milk
* ¼ cup Karo syrup
* 1 stick butter, melted and divided
* ½ tsp cinnamon, divided
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* Pinch of salt
Maple Cinnamon Glaze
* ½ cup powdered sugar
* 2 tsp milk
* 2 tsp maple syrup
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* ¼ tsp cinnamon
* Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the French bread into thick slices.
2. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with baking spray. Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of the dish and spread evenly. Reserve the remaining butter.
3. Mix ¼ cup brown sugar with ¼ tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the half-and-half, milk, remaining ¾ cup brown sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
5. Arrange the bread slices in an overlapping pattern. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, gently moving the slices so they’re all coated.
6. In a small bowl, mix the Karo syrup, remaining melted butter, remaining ¼ tsp cinnamon, and remaining ¼ cup brown sugar. Drizzle over the bread.
7. Let sit for 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight). Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While the French toast bakes, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over each serving and enjoy!

One of my favorite Venice travel tips… 🤍
We booked a canal-side table at Sempione, and our waiter knew exactly what we were hoping for. He actually ran across the bridge to film us from the other side so we could capture the boats drifting by. Such a thoughtful surprise, and one of our favorite memories from Venice.
If you’re planning a trip, I’d definitely recommend reserving a canal-side table at least once. It’s an experience you’ll remember long after the meal.
A few beautiful spots to consider:
• Sempione
• 501 Ai Barbacani
• The Gritti Terrace
• L’Alcova
• O Gio’s Restaurant & Terrace
• Terrazza Danieli 🇮🇹
Save this for your Venice trip. ✨
