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, […]
Don’t mind me, just over here squeezing in my Easter egg post…two days before Easter. Whoops! We’re about a month out from our wedding and I still have a long list of to-do’s so I’m just gonna go ahead and blame it on that. Anyway, it’s really no biggie that this DIY for botanical Easter […]
The holidays are over and before heading back to work this week Erick and I used our last day off to de-Christmas our apartment. The stockings are down, ornaments packed and the tree is no longer standing tall in the living room. Christmas decorations always make any room feel warm and cozy so it’s always […]
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 […]

As I’ve gotten older and my likes and interests have evolved, choosing gifts for my mom has become easier. I tend to choose products and visit shops that I would enjoy myself and the gifts are always a hit. Now my only explanation for this phenomenon is that I’m turning into my mother, which isn’t […]
I’ve always had a soft spot for edible arrangements, I mean come on, they’re delicious. But they aren’t always the most attractive choice for a centerpiece, plus they can get a bit pricey. Simple solution? Make one yourself! A few years ago my mom and I had attempted our first DIY edible arrangement and we […]
My Grandma’s birthday falls on the day before St. Patrick’s Day. So naturally, when we celebrate the theme is always shamrocks, corned beef and Irish soda bread. Typically my offering of dessert follows suit with something sweet that requires green food dye, inevitably staining your teeth. This time around I decided to switch things up […]
The weather has been absolutely perfect over here on the East Coast this week and it has me feeling everything spring – open windows, soft florals, outdoor dining and of course, Easter. Now, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I’m a sucker for any and every holiday tradition. (Need proof? See here, here, and here). Dying […]
