Fresh Pressed Edit / Vol 51
Here's everything we loved for the month of March! This post is a little shorter than our typical edits, but here's what we've loved!
How is it already April?
I’ve skipped another month because I’ve been experiencing a bit of writer’s block, lately. While my husband and I have gone places, tried new coffee shops in our area, and gone for a few walks on the days that the weather has allowed us to, overall, things have been really busy for a while. I think I am also feeling the itch to maybe change something up on our blog such as our web design or branding colors, but I truly love it, so I’m considering maybe just some minor tweaks and additions, which I think has also resulted in a bit of a creative block for me. I may write a longer post in the future diving a little deeper into the writer’s block I’ve been experiencing and what are some of the reasons for it, but as a result, we haven’t posted here in a little over a month.
We have some posts scheduled that are going live on the blog and my husband may be writing a post reviewing a new-to-us coffee shop we’ve tried and have been to multiple times since because it’s that good.
In other news, I’m seeing a nutritionist for the first time ever - something I have been wanting to do for a little while. There’s nothing wrong, thank God, but I realized after talking with my doctor that I truly don’t know how much I’m supposed to be eating (or not eating) to sustain or lose, because I’ve struggled with disordered eating most of my life so far. I may disclose in a blog post some of the meatier details, but that would be a much longer post for another time. I am looking forward to getting a better understanding of the nutritional needs of my body, regardless of whether I am intending to gain, lose, or maintain weight and hopefully develop a healthier relationship with food.
Enough of my rambling, however. Let’s get into this month’s edit!

We’ve been thinking a lot about the Montessori method when it comes to play and early learning, so I’ve been watching a few videos and reading a few blogs for some ideas for activities for toddler activities. This is an old post, but I found some of these ideas to be helpful and affordable.
I am still obsessed with Emma Chamberlain’s house. She truly leaned into the style of the home and everything works so cohesively.
I loved this video of Keke Palmer’s podcast episode with Demi Lovato and how she spoke on some of the moments of her life growing up in the spotlight.
I love the beaded necklaces are making a comeback. Fun accessories such as these are such a fun way to implement pops of color in your wardrobe.

We recently started listening to the podcast “Love Trapped” which has been a pretty interesting listen so far. My husband didn’t watch The Bachelor, but he has still enjoyed hearing about what happened so far.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this strawberry white mocha latte.
I started painting my nails again after finding out about a non-toxic nail polish company, Olive & June, that’s 15-free! I just started using them, so I can’t comment just yet on the longevity of the polish but painting my nails is such a simple thing that’s boosted my serotonin levels recently.
Snapped this while out at dinner with family.
How cute are these to-go cups? I purchased them from Ross.
