Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

June 18, 2013July 28, 2015

After listening to bestie M rave on about her delish baked chicken, I finally took the plunge and made my very first whole chicken.  Ever.  You see, I have always been repulsed by bones… I don’t eat fried chicken or ribs or turkey (unless it’s in sliced form) or anything with bones.  Sister doesn’t either… Read More

Patriotic Sangria + Our Weekend

May 27, 2013July 28, 2015

I do adore this first official holiday of the summer season!  First things first, a patriotic sangria was the libation of choice… Patriotic Sangria – Mix together 2/3 each of sugar, orange juice and lemon juice.  Stir until sugar dissolves. – Add a large 150mL bottle of red wine.  I used a very cheap merlot. … Read More

Cinco de Mayo + 2 Winners

May 6, 2013July 28, 2015

We celebrated cinco de mayo with a little at home fiesta!  It’s kind of my go-to five-five supper and I pretty much only make it this one time of the year, although we do quite enjoy it! Take a gander at our Tostado Bar…  chipotle sour cream, lime cilantro bbq sauce, Mexican slaw, beans and… Read More

Pinterest Picks {7 Taste Tested Recipes}

April 13, 2013July 28, 2015

I try really, really hard to only pin things that are truly inspiring or that I really might do one day.  Because let’s face it, it’s so easy to pin anything and everything that your boards can become a hot mess in no time flat. That being said, I’ve tried quite a few recipes from… Read More

St. Patrick’s Eve Entertaining

March 17, 2013July 28, 2015

We wrapped up a gorgeous Southern Saturday with a super impromptu gathering of neighbors for corned beef sandwiches.  At five p.m. we had plans for one couple to come down, I ran to the grocery store at six and by seven there were seventeen of us.  It’s one of the things I love love love… Read More

Sunday Supper {Breakfast for Dinner}

February 28, 2013November 21, 2022

Breakfast for dinner always receives a resounding round of cheers when it hits the supper table.   Because let’s face it, churning out a home cooked breakfast only happens about once a week around these parts. If we’re lucky. Last week we dined on Paula’s Hash Brown Casserole (originally shared here) and a simple salad.  It… Read More

Valentine’s Day Dinner

February 14, 2013July 28, 2015

Since Honey and the PCP have baseball practice tonight and we have plans to dine on our fave Thai takeout late after the littles are asleep, we celebrated Valentine’s Day as a family over supper last night. I made the heart ravioli with pink alfredo from Costco (something obvi went awry with my sauce…don’t judge)… Read More

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!
