Well this has certainly been quite the start to the year hasn't it? With LA fires still raging and a new terrifying presidency beginning, I'm feeling lots of anxiety but trying to find peace in everyday moments. In hugging my kids and taking walks with the dog and trying not to consume every piece of media available to me.
As we kick of the new year, I always like looking back on what resonated most with all of you over the past 12 months. From must-have wardrobe staples to lots of sparkly jewelry (I love this for us!), 2024 brought some incredible bestsellers that deserve their moment in the spotlight. Whether you're curious to see if your favorite made the list or looking for inspiration for the year ahead, this roundup showcases the top products you loved most on Lemon Stripes this past year.
I make this whenever my kids are sick or I just feel like warming up in the most comforting of ways. Chicken noodle soup is one of the very first dishes I learned how to cook in my early 20's and I've been tweaking my recipe ever since. This one is warm and inviting and delicious and my entire family can't get enough of it.
I read a total of 28 books this year and loved a lot, liked many, and really hated a few. But in the spirit of positivity, I'm sharing only my favorites here today, 11 in total. Some of them made me cry (Demon Copperhead), some made me terrified to sleep at night, but like in a good way (None of This is True), and some were feel-good stories that swept me up into another world (Thank you, Ina Garten).
