But What About the Shoes…

Temps finally rose for us in the New England area the past few days, and don’t get me wrong – I love a good 40-degree day when you can go out in a sweater and a vest instead of every layer you own PLUS a down winter coat just to stay warm. But – youContinue reading “But What About the Shoes…”

Pretty (Yet Inexpensive!) Gift Wrap

I know you’re not supposed to “judge a book by its cover,” but I sure do love a well-wrapped gift. I’ve shared all sorts of how-to’s on gift wrap with you before from DIY Gift Wrap to Hand-Decorated Gift Bags to Homemade Gift Tags. But sometimes, there’s nothing like some pretty store-bought wrapping paper, right?Continue reading “Pretty (Yet Inexpensive!) Gift Wrap”

Couple Things…

Made my hubby some triple chocolate chip cookies for Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day balloon fail. Only the white one popped though, the other 2 are still floating around the house… My Z and I went to a cute little local art studio for kids and she made this adorable paper doll! Well…I helped with cuttingContinue reading “Couple Things…”

DIY Paper-Covered Light Switch Cover

We’ve been making a few changes to our Z’s bedroom to grow from nursery to toddler room – she has a bed, new dresser, and at some point we’ll move out the glider chair and bring in the teepee Santa brought her for Christmas. It’s all very exciting! One small change I made recently wasContinue reading “DIY Paper-Covered Light Switch Cover”

Z Style – Business Casual

My Z is an active girl – always running, spinning, climbing, etc… and therefore, she spends most of her time in pants. When I want to dress her in something a little more dressed up she ends up looking like she’s ready for a day at the office, which I think is a pretty cuteContinue reading “Z Style – Business Casual”

Lemon Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies

It has to stop snowing here in the North East. Yes, we have like 2 feet of snow just sitting on the ground outside and more in our forecast this week! But more-so than that, every time it snows I am literally beckoned to bake something. The snow whispers “make something sweet and delicious…make somethingContinue reading “Lemon Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies”

So Done with This Week.

Usually on Friday I post a few pictures from our week and talk about the highlights. There were some highlights to this week as usual, but overall it just. plain. sucked. I don’t usually “go there” on this blog when things go wrong because why read a blog when someone is just complaining about theirContinue reading “So Done with This Week.”

J. Crew Autumn/Winter 2014

I can’t let New York Fashion week go by without some acknowledgement…although being pregnant keeps less excited than normal at scoping out the styles since I won’t be able to wear them for a while. That said, have you seen any photos from the J. Crew Fall, 2014 RTW presentation? This outfit sort of summedContinue reading “J. Crew Autumn/Winter 2014”

Homemade Tater Tots

Remember tater tots? They make me think of 3rd grade school lunch – in a good way! Like the only edible thing that came out of the school cafeteria – aside from those fabulous rectangles of pizza every Friday, of course. Anyways, when I was pregnant with my Z, we bought a bag ofContinue reading “Homemade Tater Tots”

Double Dozen Roses

What’s better than receiving a dozen red roses on Valentine’s Day? Receiving a DOUBLE dozen! A few years ago, I came home from a long day at work on Valentine’s Day to a beautiful vase full of roses sitting on our kitchen island. I thought the vase looked very full and asked my husband ifContinue reading “Double Dozen Roses”
