Floral

I’m a huge fan of wearing floral prints. From tops to bottoms and scarves and this season even shoes, it’s all too easy to break out this oh so feminine print. I came across this top in TJMaxx a few weeks back and loved the soft floral pattern. I was even happier when I saw […]

Hair Stylin’

I don’t know about you, but I end up changing my hair rather frequently. I started blogging last May and since then I have gone from shoulder length blonde hair, to ombre to short and natural with a few highlights. Rarely do I go into the salon without an inspiration picture in my pocket (or […]

High Five for Friday

We’ve found our way to Friday once again, friends! I have to say that around these parts we’ve had a pretty good week. The weather for the most part was great which allowed us to get outside instead of being entrapped in our home. I also managed to escape being at the end of any […]

My Girl

My son spends his mornings at pre-school, so every M-F I get to enjoy some one on one time with my sweet little lady. This was one particular morning where we took a little stroll together. I feel very blessed to be able to experience raising both a boy and a girl. They are so […]

Chicken, Black Bean, & Quinoa Enchilada Bake

I’m a huge fan of Mexican food and even more-so when it can be made a bit healthier. Instead of rice, quinoa is used in this dish and not only do I enjoy the taste and texture of quinoa, but the benefits are fairly impressive. If you have any interest, you can read about the […]

On the Farm

As much as I am over layering for winter weather (wool coats, thick scarves, hats etc) I am very much enjoying layering for the slightly warmer temps we’ve been having. Jackets and scarves that don’t necessarily need to be removed once you’re indoors are a great way to begin transitioning. We spent this particular afternoon […]

Wedding Style

It’s been 7 and a half years since my wedding, but it may as well have been over a decade with the way things have changed since. When I got married it was common to have your bridesmaids all wearing the same floor length dress in the same color, the same shoes and the same […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday all! I know it’s said all too frequently, but kids really do grow up way too quickly. I realize that in the coming years my husband and I are going to have many obstacles to tackle with our kids and at times it can all seem very daunting. This week my 4yo son […]

Old Things & New Things

I ordered this jacket a few weeks ago from Anthropologie and as soon as I got it I loved it. It is incredibly soft and light, yet warm which leads to me lounging around in it all day, not just when I’m out running around. It’s a wonderful piece to add to a wardrobe for […]

Cinnamon Bun Cake

Just when I thought cinnamon buns couldn’t get any better, I found thisĀ Giant Cinnamon Roll Cake! I have yet to meet someone that can pass up a cinnamon roll (unless you gave up sugar for lent or are gluten free…sorry girls!!) and I’m certainly not one of them. We were celebrating a friends birthday during […]
