It’s funny how much time I spend admiring, trying on and shopping for clothing when often times it’s the accessories that totally make an outfit. If I were to remove my necklace and scarf from this outfit it would be fine (a word my husband is banned from using when commenting on my appearance in […]
Last week I watched my baby transform into a little girl before my eyes as she got her very first haircut. I was the emotional mom snapping pictures and grabbing a few locks of hair to bring home as a keepsake (maybe this is weird, but my mom still has mine, so the tradition continues). […]
Well this sure was one frigid week but it looks like we’ll have some nice temps around for the weekend. It actually felt warm being in the mid-twenties yesterday! Sub zero temps, some broken water pipes and school cancellations meant lots of time spent cuddled up with my little ones. We read, we baked, we […]
I have had this hat in my closet for years. I don’t wear it often, but once in a while I find it fun to be a bit obnoxious. My sister originally had it and I assumed she had found it buried in my mom’s closet. As I was writing this post I texted her […]
A girlfriend of mine hosted a Christmas party over the holiday’s that I attended. Since I always love an excuse to bake, I offered to bring a devil’s food cake that I had been wanting to try. As much as I love a good Betty Crocker cake, there’s something about making it from scratch that […]

Well we have officially made it through the holidays and are working our way back into a routine. Maybe by next week we’ll be back on track! Yesterday was my son’s first day back to school and while I was out running errands they ended up dismissing school early due to the snow. Thank goodness […]
You may remember that I found this lovely scarf when I was in NYC last month. It’s turning out to be a favorite accessory of mine during these cold winter months. This one is sold out online, but there are other options here and here . My sister managed to talk me out of purchasing this […]
Happy New Years Eve everyone! Anyone heading to a party and want to take along a little dessert? If not, tuck this one away to try out later. This was my first time making truffles and it won’t be the last. When it comes to baked goods, I am typically drawn to chocolate in one […]
