We had beautiful weather this weekend and we made sure to come out and play with the sun. Last week we went hiking and got wet in the morning rain, but this weekend, it felt like Spring season is on its way. The path along the hiking trails were filled with blooming flowers. What a […]
I recently started a new role at my job and it has kept me very busy. My new work has made my days go by really fast and sometimes I feel like my days are blurred together. I have a renewed appreciation when everyone says TGIF!! I spend my weekends hanging out with my family. […]
Some of the treats found at Disney for the month of February are bright pink cupcakes… and heart shaped cookies to celebrate Valentine’s Day. So many choices, so little time. But we had to make a decision, so Chris and I decided to enjoy a sundae to satisfy our sweet tooth 🙂 I got a […]

This week: – we played with chalk after dinner and played outdoor – I bought my first bunch of peonies for the season. I can only get these beautiful flowers around 4-6 weeks in the summer. – I went on a Sunday hike with friends and had a great view of the […]
If you are looking for quick summer dessert for the holiday weekend ahead, these smores pretzel bites would be a good bet. We didn’t get a chance to do a bonfire this summer and my fantasy of sitting around the fire and making smores went out the window. Honestly, it was too hot this summer […]
My goal is to stream line the process of getting ready for work every day, and I think it would help a ton if I simplify my closet. I wear business professional clothes Mon-Fri, so majority of what’s currently hanging in my closet are work clothes. Casual/weekend clothes are folded in my dresser. I need […]
Ever since Monday, I haven’t been feeling well. My beverage of choice has been fresh ginger tea with honey. Sometimes I make it really strong and it’s spicy, sometimes a little light and with more honey. I’ve also been craving comfort food. Chocolate gives me comfort. I have been adding chocolate shavings on top of […]
The readings, the words we spoke…everything in our wedding ceremony had special meaning. It wasn’t traditional, it wasn’t too serious…it was us. We incorporated a few things that was special to us. We tailored our vows with some of our own words. Even though I didn’t meet our officiant until the day of the wedding, we […]
