High Five for Friday

Happy Friday! It’s been a pretty frigid week around here, but moving into February, I know spring is on the way….eventually. As for the fam, I had a check-up this week and baby Z is doing well and right on track. Big brother is losing teeth and starting to (slowly) read books on his own […]

Valentine Gift Guide for Her (or You!)

Well ladies, Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us. I rounded up a few goodies that have recently caught my eye. I figure if I have it on here my husband may get the hint ;) Feel free to forward it on to your significant other as well. Subtle hints tend to work and they can […]

Valentine Cookies

Valentine’s Day is a classic holiday to share sweets with those you love. There are a million treats and candies to choose from, but you can never go wrong with a classic cookie. This recipe adds some pudding mix to keep the cookies soft and chewy…and delicious. And the M&M’s add the perfect flair for […]

Pink + Grey

Pink and grey is one of my favorite color combos. Especially when it’s in these soft shades. I passed a maternity sale rack at Macy’s last week and I caved and bought a few pieces. I didn’t feel all that guilty buying them when I was able to get a pretty good bargain. I also […]

High Five for Friday

What a week! I see that those of you out west have been enjoying some pretty decent weather while those of us on the east coast have had quite a different story. We started off the week with two snow days and a lot of effort on my part to keep my two little ones […]

Out with the Old

And by out, I literally mean digging it out of your closet. At this point in the winter, I tend to become bored with any purchases I made at the begin of the season. Maybe not bored necessarily, but I realize what I’ve been over-wearing as winter continues to drag on. That’s when I start […]

Valentine Gift Guide for the Mini’s

It’a hard to believe Valentine’s Day is approaching so quickly. Although my husband stole my heart long ago, it’s most certainly shared with my children. I enjoy playing up the holiday (although I typically forbid my husband from paying for over-priced flowers the day-of) and love dressing them up in appropriate apparel and gifting them […]

Avocado Chicken Sandwich

I realize that I should be posting some overindulgent recipes for you all to enjoy during the Superbowl this weekend, but I hope you’re not too disappointed. Let’s think of this as the healthy lunch you could enjoy prior to your overindulging later that evening? I’ve been seeing a lot of versions of this recipe […]

In the Wild

After purchasing and becoming quite fond of this sweater coat, I knew it would be beneficial to add more to my closet. What I love about this one (in addition to the colors) is that it is perfect for fall, winter and spring and I look forward to putting it to use! I also love […]

High Five for Friday

Hey Friday! Did this week fly or was it just me? We enjoyed the week and even the snow. I love when we get a beautiful blanket of snow, it’s such a beautiful sight before it all turns to slush. I wasn’t out playing with the kids this time around, but I hear snow angels […]
