Ugh! Feeling FOMO is not fun– I love Maxie’s tips for dealing with it. I personally feel it so much more with Snapchat around more than anything else. I wish I was better about it, but I definitely succumb to that feeling of “ugh, so and so looks like she’s having the best night ever.”…
I’m obsessed with these tips from Maxie. I think I’ve followed all of these travel tips at one point or another, and it’s true, it’s an excellent way to save money. (Going off-season is my favorite because of the discounted rates and fewer crowds!) 6 Tips for Vacationing If You’re Low on Resources and/or Time Guest…
Gar and I (plus the pups) have been trying out best to enjoy as much sunshine as possible now that summer is here. In Florida, I took the sun and warmth for granted but after long winters here, it makes summer that much more special!!! Sometimes we can’t dedicate an entire day to spend outside,…
My summer bucket list is coming to the blog soon, but one of the items is to host friends for a summer get together. Summer foods are the best because all the fruits and vegetables are so fresh and light. I love having simple, delicious snacks and meals on warm nights. Louisa put together a…
I think one thing that Maxie and I can really bond over is our love of writing. It’s something we both just get about each other, and we love to talk about it. The weird thing is that I never liked to write. In school, it was a chore. Give me a math problem and I…
So I am actually feeling a lot more confident when it comes to cooking dinners. I mastered all the chicken type recipes. (I use “master” very loosely here!) And I even feel comfortable to cook a steak! A year ago, I never would have thought this would be the case. As we try more and…
Maxie’s been on the receiving end of some of my freak outs and I’ve received a few of those texts from her over the years as well. More often than not, there’s an easy solution or whatever we were freaking out about never even comes to be. I love Maxie’s roundup– try to go through…
Louisa is sharing some great gluten-free recipe ideas here today. I personally am not gluten-free, but I do have friends who avoid gluten for various health reasons. I will be keeping this post and these recipes on hand in case I ever host someone for a dinner who has an allergy! Now that I think…
I do believe in the quote about being the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I’m all about surrounding myself with people, especially women, who lift me up, inspire me, and push me to be my very best. I have friends near and far that I’ve met throughout the years….
Who else is ready for a very merry @marthastewart48 Christmas 🎄✨ the best inspiration for baking, crafting, & decorating! Buying this lot of vintage #marthastewart living magazines has been such a source of joy. I have loved flipping through and scheming for all the projects I want to do… now if I could only find the spare time!
Item number one on my mile long to do list: decorate the boys’ bedroom for Christmas! ⛄️ ❤️🎄🎅🏻❄️ I try not to go overboard with things, but I simply couldn’t resist Santa sheets and a paper chain (oh and a mini Christmas tree…). I may have risked my life getting the paper chain hung and it adds so much charm I think I’ll keep it up year round… or until the tape gives out at least!

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
