April 14, 2020

As we head into our 6th week of isolation, we have definitely found a daily rhythm in the Ryan household. To be completely honest, I have (mostly) enjoyed this uninterrupted time with my girls, as Craig continues to run our warehouse to ensure that orders are heading out as promptly as usual. After the initial shock of what was happening around us, I have remained focussed on using the time to do the things I love but often do not have the time to achieve.

I wanted to share a little bit about how I've been spending my time at home, and some of the resources and reads I've been enjoying. Oh, and also what I've been wearing.

 

Cooking

I love cooking, but due to time restraints, I don't often get the time to experiment with new recipes. Both of my girls enjoy spending time in the kitchen with me, and we've found the following Instagram accounts a great resource for new ideas:

• @maggie_beer
• @jamieoliver
• @ottolenghi
• @chefmattmoran

Reading

I've been gravitating toward lighter and less confronting stories over the last couple of weeks, and have loved the following titles:

• Finding Clara, by Anika Scott
• The Lost Jewels, by Kirsty Manning
• The Wife and the Widow, by Christian White
• Haven't They Grown, by Sophie Hannah

Wearing

These pieces are on high rotation for me at the moment, and I'm finding that adding a pop of colour to my outfits is an easy way to lift my spirits if needed on some days.

• Merino Jodhpurs in charcoal
• Cotton Jersey Long Sleeve Tee in charcoal + white stripe
• Merino Batwing in cornflower blue
• Cashmere Classic Boxy Turtleneck in emerald green
