I love following the Mix and Match Mama. She’s full of wonderful recipes including a list of 100 (yes, 100) bundt cakes. I decided to make her red velvet version for my grandmother’s birthday. It has chocolate chips throughout and is covered in a cream cheese frosting. It also calls for the addition of vanilla […]
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 […]

It’s a good thing I love to layer because this frigid weather that’s hovering around us requires nothing less. Today I am linking up with my friend Becky at Mommy in heels as she co-hosts this months What She Wears: Pop of Color. Luckily for me, my wonderful mother in law gave me these lovely […]
Although it should always be a priority to keep your body healthy and in shape, the start of a new year always gives that extra push or boost of encouragement to get your butt in gear. That, or those darn marketers (which was also my major, ahem) take full advantage of the timing and make […]
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 […]
