There are a lot of blogs out there, and you really shouldn’t waste your time reading ones you don’t like, especially since even reading blogs you do like could be seen by some (hi mom) as a waste of time.
Here is a list of some of my favorite blog posts, some that are representative of what you’ll find here on a regular basis.
Love.
- The wedding that defined a big chunk of 2012.
- Oh hey, I love this stranger that I married.
- What they should tell you when you’re dating.
- Figuring out this marriage thing, especially since marriage doesn’t fix things.
- My husband is many things, but not my soul mate.
- A love like cotton.
- I would always choose him.
Motherhood.
- Birth highlights.
- A world without artifacts
- My baby is inconvenient and we can’t come to your party.
- Set a timer
- Lessons from the trenches
- Moms who work
- Someone please love my kid.
Food.
- The Basic Quiche. (And the fig goat-cheese one! And the heirloom tomato caprese one! And the bacon brie one! And the kale one! Basically, this blog loves quiche.)
- Endives with roquefort.
- Vegetable goat-cheese frittata.
- Goat-cheese stuffed mushrooms.
- The best bread is the simplest bread.
- Peach cobbler
- In search of lost cookies: Madelines, Proust, life.
- Even the occasional gluten free goodie.
- But then again, one time I cried on my kitchen floor over mini-quiches.

Travel.
- I’m always trying to get back to Paris.
- Beautiful Banff.
- Vagabond reflections.
- Cinque Terre
- Munich
- Beauty and Darkness
- No one else will fix this

The Occasional Rant.
- That time I had a Pinterest-induced breakdown on the internet… and then decided to slow down my pinning.

- Just about everything makes me cry.
- Can you be a twerking feminist?
- Old Testament- old BESTament!
This, and a whole lot of daily life in DC is what you will find here. Random musings on the everyday art of ordinary life. A little color, a couple habits, and a lot of quirk.
The Art in Life

Hi Hannah~
It looks like you never meant for your blog to get so much publicity, but I love what your blog is about. I love that you aren’t afraid to share about your love for God, but/and that you don’t feel like *every* post needs to be about Him /exclusively/ (a la Evangelical Movement mentioned in your Anniversary post).
I hope you don’t mind if I read your blog from time to time. I love seeing the art in life! Thanks for writing.

Hi Hannah!
I have just started blogging. Everyone says, “Follow people then your blog will take off!” I’ve been super picky about who I follow, however. Just like you said, “you shouldn’t waste your time reading blogs you don’t like.”
You are the first blog I’ve felt the NEED to follow. I really appreciate your artistic perspective on things…and I really UNDERSTAND your blog. To me, your blog is like the standard I would like to achieve.

Thanks for blessing the world with your posts!
Hannah, I love your writing and your fresh voice. I have a question I’d love to toss your way, but rather not do it here in a comment. If you don’t mind emailing me, I’ll share with you my thougth and I’ll keep it brief!
God, I am so impressed!!!!!!! I’m going to have to take notes or something to get my blog more organized like yours ;0) Seriously though, I am really looking forward to reading more, and funny comment on your opening page about your mom and blogging, hahah, you could probably say that about 1/2 the world. Anyways, glad to have found you on here. AND, congrats on being in the “top blogs” section on my dashboard page….very awesome. Very impressed.
Hi there! New to your site, and I think I’ll stick around. 🙂
If we lived in another world where we inhabited the same city, even if just for a brief time, I think we would make fine friends. There. It’s decided. BUT, since that’s not possibility, I think I’ll just be friends with you blog. I absolutely love your voice, the things you write about, and the incredible insight you have to offer.
Thank you for sharing your gift!!!
Hello Hannah!
My name is Heather. My husband and I just moved to the DC area and my friend who lives all the way down in Australia follows your blog religiously. When she heard I was moving there her first reaction “you’ll be moving to the place where my favorite blogger lives!” I’ve spent 15 min on here and absolutely love your posts, style, ideas on life and marriage, photography… I too LOVE mason jars! Can’t wait to read more. 🙂 thank you for being here and making DC already feel like home.
