Is it just me or does every other lady out there find it easier to get her macho chef cooking away during the summer? Jeff and I definitely take advantage of the summer temperatures and availability of grilling options to make our dinners easier and faster, too! I found some fabulous new grilling recipes and […]

From the honeymoon recap as well as the pictures of new bedding and such, I had a few questions I wanted to answer/clarify: 1. What exactly is the lingerie game? You’re going to love this. While on my bachelorette party, we did the traditional lingerie shower—when I opened each gift, we nicknamed everything…for instance “Whip […]

It’s July, meaning it’s birthday month lovelies… the 17th to be exact! I know some people cringe at the thought of turning a year older, yet, I like to take a look back at what all I accomplished in year’s past and it reminds me I am just “maturing” like a fine wine and refining […]

Though it’s only been a mere 3 weeks since our fabulous honeymoon to Antigua, it feels like a lifetime…can you tell we are people that must have beach time? When Jeff and I started researching possible destinations, we made a list of everything we were searching for–relaxing and secluded, private pools, all-inclusive, and individual bungalows. {simple […]

The highlights of this weekend…simple pleasures with great friends, the best family, and endless amounts of food. That’s what Independence Day is all about, right? This was the 1st  low key holiday weekend we’ve had in quite some time and it was so nice to be at home sweet home….alas I feel rested. Here’s a short […]

I think setting goals is important–to keep yourself accountable, but not setting […]

Thoughtless…perhaps, only you can decide:   1. With us deciding to stay at home this weekend and forego the sunny beaches of Seaside with the bestest, her hubby, and family {honestly, what are we thinking?}, Jeff and I have some time to get to work around the house and I am hoping to start and […]

Finally, right? Another wedding recap…I’m hoping I can get through at least one of these a week or until I receive all of my fabulous wedding pictures!! I’m hoping I can swoon my photogs with some baked goodies or something of that nature ;). When I started thinking about OOT gift bags, I knew I wanted something […]

Back at it with last weekend’s updates…yesterday was the “typical Monday” and it was hard to get my butt in gear! I started out at the Social Security Office and DMV to begin the name change process and oh boy, what fun that was. Less painful than imagined, but still not too enjoyable–let’s be honest, […]

We’ve been baking, cooking, and grilling up a storm lately…for one, trying to save some extra change for other forms of entertainment this summer, and because eating in is SO much healthier for you, too! Though these aren’t “nutritious” persay, here are some new summer-worthy treats for holidays and parties, fun nights in, and just because […]
