My pantry is filled with large size mason jars, I buy them in 12 packs at Target. I have slowly replaced our plastic storage containers with the glass mason jars to store our grains, beans, nuts and homemade granola I bake and stock up on the weekend. I have been making granola in big batches […]
I’ve been drinking a lot of tea lately. Chai tea with almond milk to be exact. Our house is filled with different candles in each room. I’m currently loving the Spiced Cider scent from Bath and Body works. I bought it last week and the large jar is half way done. I love that it’s […]
My youngest sister Hazel, who is a senior in high school, is enjoying her Spring Break this week. I invited her to have an early workout date with me this morning. She joined me on her first ever Zumba class (and first ever gym trip). The class was different because there was sub today and […]
Exactly two weeks ago, the fiance and I had a fun time frolicking in the wild to take our engagement pictures. You can see the behind-the-scenes look of that day here. We were in our natural surrounding as we both like nature and often go on hikes together on the weekend. Today, I was […]

I don’t remember the last time I used my big DSLR camera. I didn’t even bring it on our last family vacation. I want to use it more often though and I thought of the excuses I had that was preventing me from grabbing it….and the biggest gripe I had was that it was too […]
Overnight, I became an auntie to my baby nephew Jonah. He was born at 1am today. Happy Birthday little guy! A picture of me and my very pregnant younger sister during her baby shower a few weeks ago. I can’t believe she is a mom now. I grew up with my 3 younger sisters. Then […]

Friday night was my “Ugly Christmas Sweater” themed party with my friends. Ready for the uglies? Which sweater do you think is the ugliest? It was a really fun party. We giggled and laughed at each other the whole night and posted pictures on Facebook to see who would win the ugliest. Since the party […]
With family staying with us for the holidays, my usual morning routine has changed. I’m spending more time chatting and catching up in the morning and we are also eating more food than usual. Since I’m not cooking just for myself anymore, one way that I’ve streamlined breakfast is to prep the ingredients the night […]
