The best part about being stuck inside all day while it’s storming outside – baking! And thanks to Hurricane Irene, we spent the better part of the day in our house. We made some delicious muffins for breakfast and then made a batch of our homemade sauce for freezing, but still needed a little dessert…Continue reading “Jazzed-Up Brownies from a Box”

A Simple Thanks
I went to my favorite section of my favorite craft store the other day (the clearance aisle at Paper Source) and found these fabulous pink, brown, green, and yellow flowered cards. At 50%, who could resist? I then decided it would be a quick, simple project to turn them into thank you cards. If you’veContinue reading “A Simple Thanks”
No Recipe Summer Meal
It has been way too hot to cook and eat real meals lately. But, since we do need to eat dinner, we have been doing lots of grilling and easy summertime dishes. I thought I’d share this non-recipe meal which has become a staple in our menu rotation when the temp soars like it isContinue reading “No Recipe Summer Meal”
Homemade Glitter Art
I was watching Martha Stewart Living a few months ago and learned this fabulous technique for making homemade glitter art. I filed it my brain for use later…and now that it’s time to decorate our nursery, I thought this craft would be great to make using the colors of the baby’s bedding. I will warnContinue reading “Homemade Glitter Art”
Food Truck Lunch
Having no real plans today (which is a nice problem to have on a beautiful summer day!) my husband and I were looking for something to do in the city this afternoon. We found out about the Greenway Open Market (runs every Saturday July through mid-September) so we decided to check it out! This marketContinue reading “Food Truck Lunch”
Dinner, a Conert, and Some Blueberries
My husband has a knack for finding really great things to do while we’re on vacation. This week we’re in Newport, RI for another little summer getaway and my husband discovered it’s Bridge Week in Newport – meaning the week in between or “bridging” the Folk Festival weekend and the Jazz Festival weekend. Bridge WeekContinue reading “Dinner, a Conert, and Some Blueberries”
Pregnant at the Beach
With the intensity of the heat this summer, my only escape (other than my heavily air conditioned office) has been the beach. We frequent a cozy little beach in Newport, RI during the summer so I knew I would need a great go-to maternity beach get-up. I of course would never go for just someContinue reading “Pregnant at the Beach”
Flourless Peanut Chocolate Cookies
Wow, these cookies are just amazing. I have a thing for anything peanut butter and these cookies certainly do the trick. It’s hard to find a good peanut butter cookie recipe that doesn’t call for corn syrup and still comes out tasting like peanut butter, so that’s why I turn to this flourless version fromContinue reading “Flourless Peanut Chocolate Cookies”
Blueberry Ice Cream
Since blueberries are still in season and lately have been particularly sweet, delicious, and on sale at the grocery store we decided to make a little fresh blueberry ice cream this week. This recipe is so easy to make and uses all fresh ingredients. It’s not a traditional custard-based ice cream recipe so it’s notContinue reading “Blueberry Ice Cream”
The Most Exciting Room Re-do To Date…
So….I am having a baby!! It’s incredibly exciting, my husband and I just can’t wait. This is why I took a small blogging hiatus (when I wasn’t feeling great) and why I’ve been wearing so many accessory-based outfits of late. All of that said, we have a few months until the baby arrives so ofContinue reading “The Most Exciting Room Re-do To Date…”
