The days may be getting a little longer, but it’ The days may be getting a little longer, but it’s still chilly here in New England. 🕯🛁 Nothing says self-care in the winter like a nice warm soak in a bubble bath! 🕯🛁 When mattcraig15 and I renovated our home, we maximized our minimal space in our colonial bathroom by adding the perfect mini clawfoot tub! Mini clawfoot tubs are budget-friendly and perfect for those with children or who are on the shorter side like me (I’m 5’2”)! Bring a splash of colonial charm to your home with one of the mini clawfoot tubs I’m sharing over on the blog's Seasonal Scenes. 🧘‍♀️ 🛁 What’s your favorite way to indulge in self-care?

Happy Birthday to Mr. Matt🎈🎂! Today mattcrai Happy Birthday to Mr. Matt🎈🎂! Today mattcraig15 turns 27 and I wanted to spend today’s post sharing a few things I love about mattcraig15 that I’ve grown to appreciate over these last thirteen years, that you might all get a kick out of. 
 
💌His meeping - I can’t describe it any other way but when mattcraig15 gets excited or mischievous he meeps in crescendos, kind of like Beaker from the muppets. 
 
💌His humor - Truthfully, my personality is pretty stoic and pensive - very let’s get down to business. Yet mattcraig15 not only reminds me to laugh but makes me laugh all the time, no matter the mood or the circumstance mattcraig15 can always get a good chuckle out of me. 
 
💌His allowing me to steal all of his redfleece sweaters - I swear to God, 90% of my outfits come from mattcraig15 closet. In fact he actually owns at least 2x the amount of clothes as me but more often than not you’ll see me styling his sweaters in my posts. 
 
💌His candidness - which by definition is literally the quality of being honest and straightforward in attitude and speech. candour, forthrightness, frankness, directness, candor - that’s Mr. Matt or as he says ‘being a realist.'
 
💌His theatrics - I always say mattcraig15 was in a royal court in his last life because he always knows all the tea, is dramatic about the funniest things, and LIVES for the theatrics in the most charming extroverted way. mattcraig15 is captivating from his laugh to his meeping. 
 
💌His hugs - I’m not a hugger but I have to admit mattcraig15 gives cozy hugs. 

🎈🎂Matt, you make everyday entertaining and I hope you have the best birthday 🎈🎂

❄️☃️⛸Winter Lifestyle Hacks from a New E ❄️☃️⛸Winter Lifestyle Hacks from a New Englander 🤗❄️⛸
With more winter weather on the horizon, I thought I’d share some of the most relevant, useful, and practical winter lifestyle hacks with you all. 
When it’s snowing, if you do not have a garage or carport I suggest you brush off and use a shovel to dig a path to your car halfway through the storm. Thus, making it easier to get to and dig out your car completely once the storm has finished. Also, be friendly and help a neighbor if you’re able!
Don’t forget to take your car through the carwash regularly to protect your vehicle from rust and aging. 
Leave your Bean Boots outside or place them on a shoe tray - it’s easy to run inside and leave your winter boots on to escape the cold but ice melt and sidewalk salt can stick to the bottom of your boots and make a mess so preserve those wood floors and antique rugs and take off the snow boots! 
After a day of sledding, ice skating or just shoveling make sure to hang damp mittens, scarves, and coats to dry or throw them in the dryer so they’re dry the next time you need them. 
Head over to the blog to check out my Seasonal Scenes for practical and aesthetically pleasing pieces to help make your winter wonderful! #newengland #snowday #snow
