It's still 100 degrees in Memphis, but at work we are mentally in Christmas prep mode. This week, my team and I are photographing and loading a lot of our holiday pre-order items to the website—things like our limited-availability faux garlands (that pass my high-standard test!), handmade German smokers, and other personalized items like new marbled stickies and jotters. It will be nice to have items that take over a month to come in available now, limiting some of the stress in December!
While the studio is busy with holiday prep, my home is still in back-to-school organization mode.
GreenPan items — I am loving a few new items I purchased from GreenPan—we like to cook and needed some new pans. I got a few sizes—of course I use the 11" a ton, but I actually love the little one too. Perfect for quickly cooking two eggs in the morning.

Pre-batched waffles — I also got the waffle maker and have loved using it to make big batches of waffles that I can freeze and pull out for the kids before school. I have been adding an extra egg to this recipe for a little more protein. I wish I could say they eat these with sour cream and jam, but they demand maple syrup :)

Pouf-sleeve knit tee — ME+EM is a very favorite brand from across the pond. I crave everything they do, but am especially wishing for colder temps and these beautiful short-sleeve sweaters in these gorgeous colors.
Fall nail colors — This is not groundbreaking, but these are the two nail colors I will be ordering for fall. I love a warm nude/pink now and then something a little deeper once it actually starts to feel like fall outside.
Collagen peptides — Since I completely butchered my nails with too many gel manicures last spring, I am going to try adding collagen peptides to my coffee in an attempt to take better care of them. TBD if this actually works, but I will report back!

Favorite new holiday card on the website — Shout out to Jensie (my mom!) for ordering early. She chose this one in Deep Red paper with champagne engraving, and I cannot wait to see it come together! I love the simplicity of the entire balfour holiday collection, but it is especially lovely engraved.
