A lifestyle blog
I had planned to post this early this morning, wake up before the kiddo, make some coffee and sit down to post. Unfortunately, plans changed when our little guy came down with a nasty cold last night and he and I were up most of the night together 🙁 I'm not sure he's ever been [...]
We don't eat dairy in our house very often. But when we do, its on a pizza 🙂 When we first did a round of Whole 30, pizza was obviously out of our dinner rotation. Which is sad because I was just starting to be on a first name basis with everyone at our local [...]
Quick and easy weekday breakfast prep, comin' at ya! I've been making a dozen of these yummy little cups every couple weeks because I can have it done in about 25 minutes and *presto* breakfast for most of the week for hubby and I. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen me [...]
Wow! It has been a minute since I posted anything on the blog!! I think May was my last post. I really can't believe it's been that long because the time has flown by over here. This was an intentional break. Back in May, hubby and I decided to get in touch with our realtor [...]
There was a point last week that I ate Mexican food 3 days in a row...not mad about it, even a little bit. Day 3 happened to be these Carne Asada Tacos. And let me tell you...if there had been leftovers, I would've had them the next day and made it 4 days in [...]
A fresh & light take on the Greek Chicken Gyro and a quick and easy weeknight meal!
Hawaii is 2 weeks away!! AND it's our first trip without Landon. I have never been away from him overnight. At first, as the trip got closer and closer I was having SO much anxiety about leaving him. Mostly just because I'm such a control freak and he and I are with each other ALL [...]
He is 16 months old, and I'm already hiding vegetables to get my toddler to eat them. Is that bad? 🙂 A lot of things I read about feeding toddlers said to give them a few foods at each meal and make sure that at least one of those foods is something they like. Well, [...]
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 [...]
Anyone else feel just a little bit relieved when you're husband's favorite football team isn't playing in the Superbowl? Don't get me wrong, I always hope for the Seahawks to win every week and make it to the big game but the couple of times they have made it, my husband has literally been a [...]
I went to Trader Joe's for the first time EVER not too long ago. I know, I know...I live under a rock or something. #1 I was SHOCKED at how low my total was at checkout. Especially since I got what was on my list as well as about 10 different recommendations from people on [...]
I've been wanting to try chocolate zucchini bread for a while now. I had it in my head that there's no way it could taste like a dessert with zucchini in it. Not that I have anything against zucchini. I love zucchini!! But...when I want chocolate, I want chocolate. You know what I mean?? So not the case here! For one thing, you can't even tell that there is zucchini in here, let alone 1 1/2 cups! And, it comes out of the oven all warm and melty thanks to some chocolate chips mixed into the batter.
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 [...]
We officially have a crawling baby! Which means, my life is about to get a little more hectic. As of yesterday, Landon is on the move and ever since then he does not want to be confined in any way, not in the bouncer, not in the playpen. Just wants to be able to move [...]
For those of you who procrastinate...like me...a super quick treat for your 4th of July festivities! These are so adorable, no? And the hands on time is maybe 15 minutes, tops!! Red, White & Blue Pretzels 12 pretzel rods 20 ozs white chocolate for melting blue food coloring red food coloring white candy sprinkles 1. [...]
Well, today the baby got himself from lying on his tummy up into sitting position for the first time. I love each new skill he develops but this one has mama in a panic! Crawling is just around the corner which means I'll be spending this week baby proofing!! And...it also means there will be [...]
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 [...]
Well, another year older. Not sure about wiser 🙂 One thing is for sure, this birthday felt different. In the past, I haven't really wanted to celebrate my birthday, do anything special or draw any sort of attention to it. I wouldn't say that I dislike birthdays, just haven't wanted to make much out of [...]
