I can be quite sentimental and no other holiday brings that feeling out in me more than Turkey Day. Feeding people has always been a love language I speak but I love to express my love and appreciation in other ways too.

Ever since I can remember, we had the family tradition of going around the table and saying what we were thankful for in that moment on the holiday. I am never one to stray from a beautiful tradition and have found that I enjoy taking inherited practices down and giving them my own touch. I’ve learned that writing something down helps people express themselves more easily since they can get caught up in speaking their feelings out loud on the spot. If you have sat down at my table on this holiday, there is always a piece of paper and a pen to write your thankful thoughts down on to share or to keep for yourself because after all, it is your personal gratitude.

The placards are an extension of this practice because, who doesn’t love to see their name written out and placed in a thoughtful manner?

I have always loved this holiday, and its true message of thankfulness continues to deepen for me with every passing year. I hope that you will add an LPF thankful note & place card to your table this year.

Check back as we will be sharing with you all of the ways you can share your thankfulness with others this month. Order your packs here!

LPF Moxie Tote

I started LPF out of the desire to find cherished moments - a call to celebration in each day. I refer to these moments as little delights and there is no limit to discovering or remembering them in your everyday. Creating memories and sharing thoughtful intentions is a cornerstone of my daily life and I implement these practices into my business.

I have spent the past year developing how I could deepen my connection to my clients interested in my work and hopefully introduce new people to it along the way. This has a lot to do with why I am happy to announce our Le Petit Friday merchandise. 

Please meet our LPF goods line and our first piece of little delight merchandise - the moxie tote.

My bag of choice is almost always a canvas tote. It is my catch all everyday pick, regardless of my nice, small collection of handbags. I think that this lovely little delight tote can be used as your everyday bag, a candy bag for your Halloween trick-or-treaters and quite simply a great gift to give someone.

Let this bag be a reminder to stop and get that book you have been wanting, that bottle of wine to enjoy, those flowers and that baguette because they were just too gorgeous to pass up. My hope is that when you purchase any of our goods, you will be able to cherish and create a new memory surrounding the piece. 


I have more little delight surprises in store through the end of the year, so stay tuned! order your tote today by clicking here!

Mama’s Pasta Salad🍅

♥️find your little Friday♥️

•

I have made this several dozen times and for me it truly is the best pasta salad there ever was. Be prepared to chop for a bit of time but the results are worth it. The secret ingredient is dill and making sure all the veggies are shipped to roughly around the same size, let’s dig in!

•

-1 pd of pasta(cavatappi or farfalle)

-1 hothouse cucumber cut into quarter dice

-1/4 cup freshly chopped dill 

-1 pt on cherry tomatoes halved 

-1 red onion diced small

-1 red and yellow pepper diced to the same quarter size of the cucumber

-1 bag baby carrots-(this is the long bit) sliced down to about a quarter inch thick rounds. Then boil and blanch them in boiling water and ice water for about a minute in each liquid, drain.

-Half of a cup of extra virgin olive oil

-Half of a cup of red wine vinegar 

-3 cloves of garlic minced 

-1/4 cup of minced fresh dill

Boil and cook the noodles as the box direction reads instead of under, you want this a little past al dente. Drain pasta and cook under running water, tossing it to get every piece room temperature to touch.

•

Prepare the dressing while the pasta cooks. Add the oil, vinegar, garlic, dill, plus salt and pepper to taste in a mason jar. Shake vigorously for several seconds. 

•

Place the cooled pasta in a large bowl and begin to add each of the vegetables, tossing after each addition. The liquid from the veggies will add a mild liquid coating, making it easier to blend. 

•

Shake the dressing one last time in jar and then pour over pasta and veggies. Toss all together, adjust seasonings, maybe more dill? Enjoy!
