High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, all! This week has sure been an adjustment for us. We had all gotten quite adjusted to sleeping in and taking advantage of Christmas break, but I think we’re finally getting back into the swing of things! I had a check-up this week and the baby looks to be right on track measuring […]

Personal Style

This look was obviously shot earlier as I wouldn’t dare step out of the house without a puffy coat, hat and mittens in this well-below freezing weather! Goodness it’s cold out there! I picked up this sweatshirt and scarf from Land’s End when I was hitting some Christmas sales. I also posted a sweater I […]

Do You Know Your Season?

A new year brings a fresh new start for many people. Many work on resolutions, others set goals they then strive to achieve. I often find myself giving our home a little refreshing early on in the year. With Santa and our families always being overly generous during the holidays, the aftermath can feel a bit […]

Raspberry Thumbprints

Not only am I continuing to mourn the disappearance of our Christmas tree and decorations, but I’m also missing the piles of cookies that were abundant over the past few weeks! Let’s face that it’s likely to be cold, maybe even frigid, for the next few months. With the cold comes hot tea and cocoa, […]

Sweater Coat

Have you guys been doing any after Christmas shopping? I didn’t do much, but I did grab a few things. This sweater jacket for one, which I’m glad I threw in my cart immediately because it’s already sold out! Don’t worry, I’ve gathered a number of others below that are still in stock (and on […]

A Look Back on 2014

Before I jump into 2015 next week, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on this past year. 2014 was my first full year blogging and I’m enjoying it more and more as time goes on. In addition to our third child, I’m excited to see what all 2015 will bring our way. Thanks […]

Happy New Year!

  2014 was full of ups and downs but the years continue to shape who we are. I look forward to jumping into 2015 and all it will bring. Thanks to all of you for joining me for the ride, I appreciate you all!  Here’s to a lovely year ahead!

Still Shopping?

Happy New Years Eve! I hope you all have more exciting plans than I do. We’ll be having dinner with our family and spending some time downtown for the evening. My goal is to stay awake until the ball drops :) I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to all of these after Christmas […]

Baked Blueberry French Toast

With two weeks off for Christmas break (for my son), we’re able to enjoy much more relaxing mornings than usual. With some extra time, it’s nice to break out of our normal bagel/oatmeal/cereal routine and step it up a notch. I love breakfast dishes that you are able to prep the night before and pop […]

Ruffled

I hope you all had a wonderful week celebrating Christmas, ate plenty of goodies and were able to spend much time with family and friends. Outside of one sick child, we had a great time! I know many of you have exciting plans as NYE approaches in a few days. Pregnancy tends to put a […]
