    Holiday Gatherings + a few Christmas favorites

    Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 131 of Life On the Brink! Happy Thanksgiving! No matter where you are, the holiday season is hereby upon us, and I couldn’t be more excited. This year I’m choosing to focus on streamlining my calendar of events and finding pockets of time to gather in a casual, meaningful way. Especially during the holidays, social gatherings can feel draining, but today I’m bringing some interesting resources and lots of creative ways to reinvent what gathering with loved ones can look like this Christmas season. Also, I’m sharing some new holiday teas, recipes, and a few extra goodies. Plus, this week's Little Joy is a wholesome Christmasy moment, and I'm sharing an album of unique carol arrangements.

    A Crochet Deep-Dive, early Christmas vibes + adjusting to toddler life

    Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 130 of Life On the Brink! October has gone by quickly and wonderfully, filled with so many autumnal moments and gatherings, as well as a few cozy hobbies that I’ve particularly been enjoying. Today I’m sharing all about my love of crocheting- how it began, why it’s THE BEST, and how to get started- along with how I’m prepping for the upcoming holiday season and adjusting to having a full-on toddler! A lot has changed since last fall, but with the challenges come new joys. It’s a very informal chat in this episode, so make yourself a cup of tea and let’s get into it.

    Fall favorites: cozy hobbies, new recipes, books + enjoying autumn with a toddler

    Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 129 of Life On the Brink! Autumn is officially here and I couldn’t be more excited! This is such a short and sweet time of year and, especially as I now have a toddler on my hands. I’m determined to soak it up more than ever. Today’s episode includes my Fall TBR (a very cozy and lighthearted list), recipes I’m testing, crochet projects, and bucket list activities; life and routine can move fast, so I like to be intentional at the start of the season to envision what this autumn could look like. So grab a cup of something cinnamon-spiced and join me! Plus, this week’s Little Joy is a discovery I made on my morning walk, and I’m sharing Zoe’s new favorite bebop record For the complete show notes, click here!

    Favorite New Cookbooks + a summer recap

    Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 128 of Life On the Brink! Welcome to Season Six… I took a bit of a summer break to enjoy lots of time with my family and to keep up with my little girl (now a toddler, wild) but I am jumping right back into the sixth season of Life On the Brink! This has been a lovely summer so far, and in today’s episode I’m sharing a bit of a recap/companion to my summer bucket list, as well as some of my new favorite cookbooks. As we’re standing on the brink of cozy season, this is a time when I generally struggle to remain inspired in the kitchen and end up exploring some new texts! I’ve also become a bit of a collector of cookbooks, you might say. I’m sharing my absolute favorite books to work with in the kitchen this year, as well as some exciting new additions to the collection. Combining books and cooking– two of the best things! Also, this month's Little Joy is a bit of a fangirl moment, and I'm sharing my latest musical obsession. For the complete show notes, click here! Site: lifeonthebrink.live Social: @anna_on_the_keys

    Lessons From My First Year of Motherhood

    Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 126 of Life On the Brink! It has now been nearly one year since I became a mom and WOW what a year it has been. So much has changed in my life and I’ve definitely learned things about myself and my outlook on motherhood, life, self-perception, etc. and I’m sharing those lessons with you today.  This is just a very candid chat about various parenting things, and though I touch on a few controversial topics, my hope is that this is an inspiring and, above all, encouraging talk. Also, Zoe adds her opinions here and there! Plus, I'm sharing the two items responsible for my summer glow-up, and a fun album of music that you might not have heard before!

    Spring gatherings, garden updates + the HOME LIBRARY of my dreams

    Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 125 of Life On the Brink! April is such a special month- in fact, today is my birthday! I’m celebrating by recapping what was perhaps the most FUN renovation project I’ve worked on in the past two years: the home library. From hunting down the perfect bookshelves to a literal painting party to creating so many cozy nooks, I’m so pleased with the finished product! I’ve also made today’s episode extra special by sharing some recipes and fun ideas inspired by my recent gatherings (Hint: a spring dinner party with herbs galore,) as well as some gardening updates and emotional retrospection.
