Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup

I realize it’s not St. Patrick’s Day nor am I Irish, but I just couldn’t hold off on making this Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup. I love the traditional corned beef and cabbage dish and this soup took it to a whole new level. With a handful of vegetables and a ton of flavor this […]

Loving Lately: The Winter Boot

It’s true that I’m barely settling into fall and then I go and throw a ‘winter boot’ post at you. Although my hope is that we have a bit more time until the cold weather apparel needs to be broken out, there are some things that should be tackled sooner than later. Winter boots and […]

Blanket Scarf

I have a few scarves in my closet…..well, more like 2 baskets full, if I’m being honest. From lightweight cotton scarves for the summer to heavy blanket scarves for the winter and everything in between, they are the perfect accessory to have on hand. This scarf was purchased from Zara last year and after it […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, guys! I’m so thrown off this week with my son having off school yesterday and today, I can’t keep track of what day it actually is! I was laughing with my husband yesterday because I forget just what a Chatty Kathy my son can be. It was very apparent to me as my husband […]

Time for a Sale

Well guys, technically I had an outfit post planned for today but then it decided to rain all day yesterday when the shoot was to take place. While it rained and my daughter napped (and my son was in school) I had a chance to browse the Shopbop sale. In case you missed it, today […]

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

I’m sure it’s obvious by now that I have a weakness for all things cinnamon and sugar. There’s just something about that combo that I can rarely pass by. This pull-apart bread isn’t difficult by any means. You do, however, need to pay careful attention to the instructions when it comes to the cutting portion. […]

Trick or Treat

This past weekend I finally broke out my fall decor. Since pumpkins had officially entered our home I figured it was time to tackle some costumes for Halloween. The part that drives me crazy, and I’m hopefully not alone here, is when my children start deciding what they want to be all on their own without […]

The Poncho

One of my favorite fall layering pieces would be the poncho. A sweater poncho is a great piece to have on hand when you need to add an extra layer of warmth to your ensemble. It’s great to throw on for football games, soccer games, fall festivals, pumpkin picking….I could go on and on. I […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, everyone! Nothing crazy out of the ordinary around here this past week. Just keeping up with the norm can be exhausting enough as it is. Oh and then, not exactly a ‘high’ (more like a low) occurred after walking into my 2yo’s room after her nap to a white crib covered in #2. And […]

Lilac + Moss

Oh, hey moss green pants, long time no see! Yea, I’m being facetious which you already knew if you read Monday’s post. So far what I’ve realized about these pants (outside of the fact that they’re overly comfortable and a nice alternative to everyday jeans) is that this shade of moss looks beautiful with pastels.
