just me, loafing about

I love bread. I really love bread. I crave it. Honestly, I could never survive a low-carb diet, bread is basically what keeps me alive.

Bread is happiness. Bread is comfort. Bread is love.

Welcome to “just me, loafing about”!

This is my cozy little corner for all things devoted to bread: sampling, savoring, and celebrating every loaf, bun, and slice.

Here, we’ll break bread together literally exploring everything from crusty baguettes to soft sandwich loaves, taste local bakery gems, and sharing the simple joy of baking at home because let’s be honest, life is better with a good slice in hand. (Smothered with butter!)

Come loaf about with me and savor the small, delicious moments of everyday life.

I’m Kristin

aka Kiki, a dreamer, doer, and daydream decorator living in Louisville, Kentucky. I share my home with my husband, our college-age daughter, and two high maintenance landlords named Magnolia and Briar.

By day, I juggle multiple part-time jobs, including working for a home staging and design company and by night, I scroll through dreamy real estate listings and Hampton private chefs Instagram and imagine the life I’d live if I lived there.

Welcome to just me, living here a space where I pretend to be the homeowner and designer of beautiful homes that are (sadly) not mine. I create mood boards, and design ideas, all while living my very real, very ordinary life in my own home.

Some days I might be me showcasing a multi-million dollar riverfront stunner, and the next it’s just me… sharing my favorite products, throwing together dinner, ordering mocktails, eating bread or planting radishes (that nobody eats).

This blog is my love letter to the life I dream about and the real one I live. It’s part inspiration, part pretend, and part practical. A little home design, a little gardening, a little cooking, a little drinking, and a whole lot of honest living.

Thanks for being here, it means a lot to a girl with big dreams, a lot of love to share and a messy little house. 🌿✨
