What is it about having kids that makes you want to celebrate ALL the holidays? Am I alone in this? I have never ever been a fan of Halloween or Valentine's Day, but I was ALL about a Halloween costume for the little guy a few months back and today I found myself wondering if [...]
This dish just screams fall to me! The squash, the apples, the herbs. Made me want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and a glass of wine, which is exactly what I did right after eating this 🙂 For the presentation that you get with a stuffed squash, the prep and hands-on [...]
It finally feels like fall! Like everyday fall, not just a day here and there. I'm going to revel in this for a while because I'm sure it won't be long before I'm cursing all the rain. Not happy in, not happy out, ya know? We spent the morning at a cute little pumpkin patch [...]
Happy Friday friends! What better way to celebrate the weekend than with summer's hottest (or coolest ;)) drink trend, Frosé! Let me be clear from the start though, this Frosé recipe is a tad different than the rest. Let's call it skinny Frosé 🙂 As I was checking out multiple recipes for this post, I [...]
I have a confession...I love having friends and family over, hosting dinner parties & BBQs and cooking for lots of people. Problem...I'm not actually very good at it! I mean, the food is great and I'd like to think we create a fun environment but every single time, I spend a lot of the time [...]
Both my boys are sleeping at the same time so I finally have some time to post! And by both my boys, I mean my son and my husband. Hubby has been home the last few days; you would think it would be easier for me to get things done when he is home because [...]
Roller coaster really is the best way to describe this pregnancy. I envy the woman who have had pregnancies with little to no issues because this has been one of the most challenging times in my life thus far. Also, is it normal to feel like you are ALWAYS complaining about being pregnant? I guess [...]
I'm a little crazy for figs right now. Also, I found myself searching for fall décor on Pinterest the other day. It's not even the end of August! Normally I would be avoiding the idea of fall as much as possible, but this year I'm really excited for it to get here...fall t.v. shows, cozy [...]
Man! Finally getting this beauty on the blog!! Every time I have a work trip, no matter how short or long, I get so behind on everything. I pack so much into my free time that being away for just a day or two throws me off completely. So this was the first time I [...]
I made these popsicles last summer for the first time and it is one of my favorite posts. Not only are they delicious, but they are healthy and so cute, all at the same time. Be warned, when making striped popsicles, it does take a little time because you have to freeze each layer before [...]
I had such a great weekend! Some of my best girlfriends came down from Seattle with their hubbies for some wine tasting in the Columbia Gorge. The weather could not have been more perfect, the wineries were stunning, the wine was fabulous (correction...is fabulous, as I'm drinking some right now) and the company, amazing. I [...]
You wouldn't normally think of cantaloupe for a salsa but it was so light and refreshing. This is a great meal for a summer night when you don't want to turn on the oven because your house already feels like one, which is every night for me these days. It was also a pretty quick [...]
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! We spent the holiday at home trying to comfort our anxiety ridden dog from the noise of the fireworks. Our puppy didn't seem to even notice the noise but our older female dog has a tough time with the holiday every year and spent the entire night under bed. I did, [...]
These HAVE to be the cutest popsicles you've ever seen!!! And a perfect treat for your 4th of July celebration. I got this recipe off of The view from great island, a food blog that I am now obsessed with. She uses bright, colorful foods, has beautiful photographs and makes everything look mouth-watering! Be warned, [...]
