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 […]

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 […]
