a lovely living

Wifey

I seem to have an on-going wishlist, which typically consists of clothing and accessories. I can’t help it, there are too many beautiful pieces out there! This t-shirt sat on my list for some time and I finally caved. It’s price ($46) is borderline too high for what I would like to pay for a […]

Lovely Hair

I’ve been on a kick of trying some new products lately. Sometimes I dislike them immediately, sometimes it takes me some time to decide how the product is working for me and every once in a while I immediately fall in love with a product. That just happens to be the case with two Living […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, my friends! It’s finally March which means that Spring must be on the horizon! Additionally, we spring forward this weekend (don’t forget!). I don’t know about you other parents, but I love losing an hour because it means my kids are waking up an hour later! Just concentrate on that instead of the […]

Family photos become important keepsakes for your family for years to come. There’s a good chance they’ll be hanging on your walls where you’ll be glancing at them (and the outfits you chose to wear) on a daily basis.  Styling outfits for your family doesn’t have to be as daunting as it may seem.

Baked Oatmeal

I’m a big fan of oatmeal and the fact that my whole family enjoys it gives it extra bonus points in my book. A girlfriend of mine introduced me to this recipe and after trying her version I immediately added it to my recipe book. There are dozens of variations you could make by adding […]

Monochromatic: Grey or Gray?

Have you guys ever tried out the monochromatic look, intentionally or not? I’m linking up with my girlfriend Becky over at Mommy in Heels for the What She Wears link-up and this month they chose to have everyone style a monochromatic look. For some reason I had the hardest time putting this look together. I […]

Trenches

Despite the fact there there is still snow on the ground and temperatures are hovering around freezing, I have trenches on my mind. It’s now March and if the saying holds true, I’m banking on it going out like a lamb. Spring (and its showers) are bound to show up eventually and I can’t think […]

High Five for Friday

Well this week started off in the 60’s while we were in VA visiting friends of ours and ended closing back in on 0 degrees. My sweaters sure are getting their wear this year! Outside of the weather, my week wasn’t too shabby. I got to visit friends, attend a great sample sale and see […]

My Comfort Zone

My weekdays involve a lot of running around and as a result I’m always doing my best to dress comfortably. This is one outfit I’ve thrown on time and time again making slight variations. A detailed sweatshirt, jeans, a scarf, some booties and I’m set. Then there’s always my trusty tote. At any given time […]

Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Cookies

I’ve never heard so many delicious words used to describe one food, have you?! I happened to have some Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate from Williams Sonoma on hand, so I figured I had to try this recipe out. I found it at Beyond Frosting and you can get the recipe here. My only warning is […]
