Black and White Cookies

April 25, 2021April 23, 2021

John’s favorite treat from outside of his mama’s kitchen is the black and white cookie. Before covid, his grandma JuJu used to take him to a local bagel place on a regular basis and he always carried home a giant black and white cookie. Well, I finally came across a recipe with potential and decided… Read More

Happy Hour {Empress Elderflower Southside Popsicle}

April 23, 2021April 22, 2021

I made these popsicles way, way back at the beginning of fall 2020 and they’ve been sitting in my freezer untouched since! I was looking for a way to use up the mint from my garden before it froze and these fit the bill. Except, I just wasn’t craving a popsicle. Haha! We had a… Read More

Happy Hour {Empress Orange Creamsicle}

April 16, 2021April 1, 2021

Spring Break kicks off in a matter of hours and I thought I’d share once last fun cocktail before we hit the road. I have had this one on my “maybe” list for a year, not convinced how good it would taste. When bestie M left a bottle of OJ here, I decided it was… Read More

An Easter Treat to Kick Off April

April 1, 2021April 2, 2021

I put my kitchen to work today making a cute little Easter treat for the boys! Cake pops and John’s favorite sugar cookies were on the dessert menu for today.

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
