Oh the holidays. Christmas celebrations, family, food, presents, and cookies. Lots of cookies! I always have my favorite chocolate chip cookies on hand, but I like to play with new recipes as well. This year I decided to go with Mint Chocolate Macaroons. Chocolate Covered Macaroon’s are a favorite of mine and these were a […]
I enjoy getting dressed up every chance that I can. Be it a formal affair or merely an evening out, any excuse to step out of my everyday wardrobe is exciting. I love the holidays for that very reason. Not that I necessarily have to be formally dressed, but any added bling is deemed acceptable. […]
Happy Friday guys! Today also happens to be my birthday…yay?! I love birthdays, but just as I’d love to slow the years down for my kids, I’d also throw that request in for myself. 30’s are kind of fun and I want them to stay around as long as they can. To start off my […]
So how’s everyone’s shopping coming along? I took inventory the other night on what I had gathered thus far and I think our kids will be happy. For me, what always comes down to the last minute are those pesky stocking stuffers! I’m still working on that here, but I’ve gathered some of my kid’s […]
I’ve had this cardigan since last Christmas when I gifted them to my mother and sisters in law and threw one into the basket for myself! I’m honestly not quite sure how it has not made it onto the blog yet. It’s more of a wrap/cardigan combo, but unlike a wrap, you’re able to move […]

I use my crockpot all year long because I love the idea of having dinner ready and clean up complete before evening sets in. Especially with young children, those late afternoon hours can be some of the most hectic of the day. It’s typically when everyone decides they ‘need me’ and ‘hanger’ creeps in…it’s not […]
It’s no secret that I love to shop. But I also do my best to stick to budgets and take pride in scoring deals. I also keep my closet in check by selling and donating clothes as I sort through it a few times a year. When I was looking through my sweaters at the […]
Next up on the gift guide, a handful of goodies for those hosting your parties this year! Whether it’s a small get together or an all out NYE party, you may not want to show up empty handed after all the work that they’ve put in. New hand towels, oven mitts and wine glasses would rarely […]
Ohh, the mint vest. You guys didn’t think you had seen the last of her here, did you? This time I went for a more dressed down version which fits my lifestyle quite well. I just have to watch that baby spit up! As much as I lean towards gray and muted colors during the […]
