Another October means another trip to the orchard, bringing home more apples than I know what to do with. Paige has become pretty into our seasonal fruit picking trips (and I get pretty into dressing her for the occasion). She did surprisingly well this summer collecting blueberries and peaches, not eating a single berry until […]
I’ve hit the 39 week mark of this pregnancy and we decided to take a much needed day off from working on the new house. Even the pup has been relaxing with us today! So while we were lounging on the couch, binge watching a Nexflix murder documentary, I thought it’d be a good time […]
Getting this recipe up before December 25th is the real Christmas miracle. Life has been a little different around here since my last post. If you’ve been following along on Instagram you’ll know Erick and I recently got a new puppy! (Ranger, an eleven week old Siberian husky). So between adjusting to life with him, […]
This is the first recipe post I worked on and photographed since we moved, and let me just say, it was hard. I have less counter space and most of my kitchen supplies are in storage. I also could not figure out where I was going to take the photos. I started on the back […]
Full disclosure – I thought I invented this cocktail. It wasn’t until I started researching for a name that I discovered it was already a thing – the Lavender French 75. It was very Michael Scott from The Office “orange-vod-juice…ka” moment – (hopefully you get that reference). Anyway, I got the inspiration for this drink […]
I think the classic paloma may be my favorite cocktail – except I only recently learned what it was called. A few weeks ago Erick and I were out grabbing drinks at a bar that we had been to once before. I couldn’t remember the name of the cocktail I had there the first time, […]
It’s January and like everyone else I’m on that “new year, new me” kick. It was going pretty well until I attended a friends bachelorette party in Nashville and threw any healthy routine I had going out the window for a few days (which was totally worth it btw). I’ve been getting back on track […]
Have I mentioned that I love holiday traditions? JK, I know I have (here, here, here…I’ll stop). Since living with Erick we’ve made it a point to create our own traditions while carrying with us those that we each experienced while growing up. Our first Christmas morning together, three years ago, we decided to make […]
I am really squeaking in this recipe at the last-minute here because Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Last November around this time I talked about the chocolate chip pumpkin bread my grandma makes every year, read about that here, and I wanted to check back in to share the details. For twenty-eight years of my life I was […]
I started Twine & Braids as a creative outlet to share recipes and DIYs, lifestyle tips and the like. But before all that my lifelong passion has always been wellness. My full-time career is within the health and wellness field and you may notice me make some healthy swaps in my recipes here and there. […]
