Taza Chocolate Factory

We find that our weekends can fill up really quick with Target trips, grocery shopping, and other general errand-running. So, lately, we’ve made it a point to have one weekend day be filled with a fun, local activity. A couple weekends ago we went to Assembled at Assembly Row – which was a great shoppingContinue reading “Taza Chocolate Factory”

Couple Things…

This girl is obsessed with typing…I can only imagine why… We saw this ginormous yacht parked in Newport over the weekend, it’s bigger than most homes. Can you imagine? My Z and I took a long walk on Sunday and we loved this polka dot flower. We got some really great tomatoes from our CSAContinue reading “Couple Things…”

DIY Washi Tape Birthday Card

Don’t you love washi tape? I am sort of obsessed. If you don’t know, washi tape is a kind of Japanese paper that is similar to masking tape where it is removable from most surfaces. I’ve had this four-pack of Martha Stewart brand washi tape sitting in my craft room (slash home office) for quiteContinue reading “DIY Washi Tape Birthday Card”

MiniLuxe Nail Polish

As you probably know, I am a nail painter – my nails are painted 100% of the time. This is for 2 reasons: 1. I like the way it looks having a perfectly painted fingernail. And more importantly 2. I am a nail biter and if my nails weren’t painted I would nibble all theContinue reading “MiniLuxe Nail Polish”

Polo Match in Newport, RI

One of my favorite summer activities is to go to a Polo match in Newport, RI. Have you been? Matches are put on by the Newport International Polo Series every Saturday at 5pm. Gates open nice and early at 1pm and tailgating is highly encouraged. We went a couple weeks ago and had a blastContinue reading “Polo Match in Newport, RI”

Charred Corn and Zucchini with Basil

I made this salad last weekend and couldn’t believe how delicious and flavorful the salad tasted with such few ingredients and simple process to make. I was shocked – in a good way! This salad was so yummy that when we served it to our party of 4, I went back for seconds….and it wasContinue reading “Charred Corn and Zucchini with Basil”

Couple Things…

It’s been one of those weeks where this morning I woke up and thought…”we made it!” Our Z was sick all week. The second time we went to the doctor this week she got another strep test (negative both times) and when we were told to wait in this tiny exam room for 6Continue reading “Couple Things…”

Summer Clutch

My go-to bag in the summertime is usually a clutch. It just seems to summer-y to carry a light, tiny bag with just the bare essentials . *Note – the use of a clutch is when I am child free and don’t need to carry snacks, diapers, emergency toys, sunscreen, etc… Anyway – here are someContinue reading “Summer Clutch”

Buttermilk Blueberry Mini Bundt Cakes

I am always looking for a reason to use my cute mini Bundt cake pan, so when we had just a few blueberries left from our pick-you-own blueberry trip last week I knew just what to make. We used this recipe for Buttermilk Blueberry Bundt cake, reduced it by half, made a few other edits (seeContinue reading “Buttermilk Blueberry Mini Bundt Cakes”

A Love of Shoes

I’ll never forget when my sister was pregnant with my niece (who is now 6 years old with 2 loose teeth – so grown up!!) I found a photo in Vogue of a baby/toddler sitting in the middle of a pile of her mommy’s shoes, trying them on. The baby had very curly hair justContinue reading “A Love of Shoes”
