a lovely living

Getting to know me…

Hi friends! Well, it’s been almost two months since I started out on this blogging venture and I’m truly enjoying myself. It’s been fun sharing my thoughts and advice on fashion, food (ok, sweets) decor and whatever else I’ve had on my mind. At times I still feel brand spanking new in this world as […]

Piece of Pie

Blueberry pie, to be exact. My family has been indulging in all of the summer fruits this season. Madelyn (13 months) is turning out to be quite the berry fanatic. Since our fridge has been constantly stocked with these plump berries, I decided to jump on this recipe when it arrived in my inbox. It would […]

Wedding Ensembles…at shocking prices!

I love a chance to get all dolled up and weddings are a perfect excuse. However, for us, this summer/fall seems to be more about the babies than the weddings. The obvious results of all of last years weddings ;) But for those of you ladies that do have wedding plans in your future, I […]

Wearing White

Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? What a busy, fun filled long weekend we had! It was full of friends and family and fairly few meltdowns, always a plus! Now that the 4th has come and gone, summer feels like it’s in full swing. We only have a few short months that technically allow […]

High Five for Friday

I hope everyone enjoyed the 4th and are continuing to have a fantastic long weekend! Looking back on my week, it has basically consisted of fun, food and family… My son during “Touch A Truck Day”. I can’t begin to tell you what a genius idea this was. Every truck you could imagine in one place. […]

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July, my friends! We were spoiled for the past few years living in Hoboken and being able to have front row seats for the Macy’s fireworks. They were set off on barges in the Hudson River which separates Hoboken from Manhattan, and each year my son cried on my shoulder. Now it’s […]

My first Birchbox

Last week I received my very first Birchbox and was giddy with excitement while going through it. My daily routine rarely changes and this is in large part due to the fact that I hate spending money on products that I never know if I will like. I know that a lot of stores honor […]

What She Wears: Neon

Today I am joining the What She Wears link up with my fashionista friend and blogger Becky at Mommy in Heels, along with some of her fellow bloggers. If you have a moment, you need to check out her blog. She’s beautiful, hysterical and has killer style. I’m always learning from her.

Housewarming

This weekend I finally had a chance to visit a dear friend and her family back in NJ (if you’re new to the blog, my family and I relocated from Hoboken, NJ to PA this past March). She and her family built a beautiful home and moved in months ago, but this was the first […]

High Five for Friday

  Madelyn and myself celebrating my gf’s 30th birthday. 30’s are the best years of our life, right?? Jack is finishing a week long Safari camp today. He was thrilled about me taking this pic. Some new items arrived from Zara this week. Their adult line is always great, but if you haven’t checked out […]
