Egg & Sausage Casserole

I haven’t shared any breakfast recipes for a bit now, so I wanted to pass on this Egg & Sausage Casserole that I have been turning to for years. During the week we eat fairly light breakfasts, but on the weekends I enjoying preparing something a bit more substantial. This recipe can be varied by […]

Dots, Leopard, Denim, Oh My!

I gave you a peek at these pants before on Instagram, and they have been getting a ton of wear lately. They have the look of denim but they are the stretchiest, most comfortable pair of pants with a flattering fit nonetheless. I’ve worn them with t-shirts and converse as well as light sweaters and […]

Loving Lately

Hi friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. The weather was perfectly gorgeous which I always appreciate. I’m currently with my husband in NJ meeting with a new Lyme specialist that he was referred to. I haven’t updated you much lately on his condition, but there unfortunately hasn’t been much that has changed. […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, all! We had another busy week around these parts, but overall it was a great week. Jack and I celebrated 8 years of marriage…let me rephrase, Jack and I had our 8 year anniversary and we’re working on the celebration part! I’m always surprised to hear how long we’ve been married and I’m […]

Fall Maxi

It seems that maxi dresses find most of their love during the summer months, but I am just as big of a fan during the fall. The length that can often create too much warmth in the summer is the perfect insulator for chilly weather. I also enjoy trading in the sandals for some cute […]

What’s for Dinner: Chicken A La Gloria

Today I’m sharing with you a recipe that I tried a week or so ago for my family. It’s a great, hearty chicken dinner, perfect for the fall/winter months. Some evenings I hate baked dishes because it means I need to prep earlier than usual, but on the other hand once I get it in […]

New Takes on Your Wardrobe

I recently had a question from a reader that I thought more than a few of you may relate to. This busy working mother found it difficult to pull outfits out of her closet and wondered what ideas I had for switching things up and finding new outfits within her own closet. I found myself […]

Bows

I love the femininity of bows. They’re so fun to wear on everything from delicate jewelry to exaggerated collars. When worn on a blouse as this one is, I let the bow make the statement and kept everything else rather understated. I don’t get to enjoy the pleasure of getting dressed for work these days […]

High Five for Friday

Looking back over my week and the busyness of it all, I can see why time flies by. I am enjoying it all (the classes for me and the children, the practices, the lunches, the blog writing, the errands…ok I don’t love the errands) but man have I been ready to hit my pillow every […]

Bucket Bag

Dare I say, I may actually be starting to enjoy the slight chill in the air. I love being able to add an extra layer and throw on my booties. And I love the addition of some new fall colors. This burgundy bucket bag would be one example. I know bucket bags are currently on […]
