High Five for Friday

Hey all, happy Friday! What a crazy, off week we’ve had around here. Three school delays, one early dismissal and a cancellation today due to freezzzzing cold weather has kept things interesting. And by interesting, I mean that my regular schedule was totally thrown. Oh well, I suppose that’s life. But it sure would be nice […]

The Crazy Cycle

Just curious who else continues to get dressed for the day, looks outside and realizes that this is what will be going on top of your cute ensemble yet again?! Don’t get me wrong, I love the change of seasons here in the northeast, but after three school delays and an early dismissal already this […]

Baked Chicken and Sun-dried Tomato Penne

My love for baked pasta dishes runs deep and I had a feeling that the use of sun-dried tomatoes and a yummy cream sauce would make this one a keeper in my book. When I was pregnant with both Jack and Madelyn I remember having quite an aversion to chicken. Thankfully this hasn’t happened yet with […]

I Love You

For those who celebrated, I hope you enjoyed a sweet Valentine’s Day this past weekend. My husband and I did get to dinner on Friday, but I had spent the night prior with some sort of a stomach bug (it wasn’t pretty), so I wasn’t exactly into the food. Thankfully my ginger-ale and company were […]

What’s better than a SALE?

A clearance SALE! Ladies, Nordstrom is currently having a pretty awesome Clearance Sale and I wanted to share a few of my favorites. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’ll probably want to ;) Beautiful sweaters, great denim, pretty accessories and great pumps that are pretty darn close to Pantone’s color of the year, […]

High Five for Friday

Hope you guys had a great week! It felt like a whirlwind to me and overall I’m pretty exhausted. It never fails that just as I crash into my bed, the littlest babe decides it’s her time to have my attention. Well she certainly has it! We’re down to less than 3 months until we […]

My Everyday

Despite my excitement yesterday for spring weather, the reality remains that winter accessories are still a must. This has most definitely been a go-to outfit of mine lately. Perfectly casual and comfortable, and great for chasing around my kids and running errands. For those of you that get (yes, get) to dress up for work […]

Who’s Ready for Spring?

It makes me laugh as I think back a few months to October and how anxious I was to layer with coats and scarves and all the fun winter accessories. Can I just tell you how over it all I am? I realize these items will remain necessary for a bit longer, for those of […]

Three Ingredient Pancakes

Three, yes three, ingredients and Bisquick isn’t one of them ;) Would you believe that you can make amazing pancakes made of banana, egg and chia seeds? I wasn’t sure I believed it either until I tried it, and it’s true. With these staple ingredients on hand, it takes little more than a quick blend […]

A Night Out

This past weekend we celebrated my sister-in-law with a mini-bachelorette party. Her wedding is a mere 6 weeks away and we’re all extremely excited for it. She has a great group of girlfriends and I think our laughter filled the room the entire evening. After gathering at one of the ladies’ homes, we headed to a […]
