Spring Dressing

Up until this past year I had been living in Hoboken, NJ for nearly 10 years. With an abundance of stores (and Manhattan just across the river), shopping was never an issue. That being the case, I can’t say that Kohl’s was a store I chose to go into all that often. Now that I […]

Easter

He is risen! He is risen indeed! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a blessed Easter! We enjoyed a great day with gorgeous weather which was appropriate for the occasion. Our morning started off with a touching church service that kept Jesus and his sacrifice at the forefront of my mind all […]

High Five for Friday

It’s Friday again! Despite the winter weather we had a few days ago, it was a pretty good week. My husband and I had a parent teacher conference with my son’s preschool teacher. She only had great things to say which is basically what we expected. We laughed afterward thinking about how we’re going to […]

Inspiration & Improvision

I’ve always loved reading blogs and my reading has only increased since I’ve begun to blog myself. I’m constantly inspired by other bloggers in all areas from cooking, baking, decorating and of course fashion. I love that I am able to do the same for some of you as well. Not that I’d want you […]

Easter Cookies

As I debated what Easter treat I should post about, eggs obviously crossed my mind. Now if you head to Pinterest there are a million and one ways you can decorate eggs, but for whatever reason, they just don’t excite me. We’ll be dying our eggs with the little pack I always pick up from […]

Think Pink

Pink has always been one of my favorite colors (although I have many) and for whatever reason this season I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of pink pants. I didn’t want hot pink, but wasn’t going for a blush color either. I was searching for something somewhere in between. I finally […]

Loving Lately: Spring Dozen

Happy Monday, all! I hope everyone enjoyed as beautiful of a weekend as we did here in PA, it was magnificent! I took a quick run on Saturday and returned a bit sun kissed. A wonderful reminder that spring really has arrived…and I need to start applying SPF :) On that note, and without much […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday! It’s been a great week here despite fighting off one of these final change of seasons cold’s. I managed to avoid all illnesses when my children and husband suffered a few weeks ago, but I suppose my time was bound to come. Regardless, I did my best to get outside and enjoy the […]

Pearls

Pearls are not the first piece of jewelry I reach for by any means, but that’s not to say that I don’t love the elegance and beauty they can add to an outfit. I realize that for any of you southern gals, they are most likely a staple in your wardrobe, but for me they […]

Chicken & Mushrooms: in a garlic white wine sauce

I’m thankful to friends that are always sharing new recipes with me. Trust me I’m not the one coming up with these things, I’m just here to share the goods! After my girlfriend’s raving reviews, this recipe did not let down. I don’t cook with wine all that frequently, but every time I do I remember […]
