Happiest of Mondays to you! I hope you’re doing well and being safe and healthy. I took a couple months off from sharing our binge watch lists because once football was back in season, our movie nights took a little bit of a side step. But I’m back today with a list of movies we’ve […]
Like the rest of the world, we’ve been looking for ways to have fun while still following all the social distancing guidelines. I miss a lot of the things we used to do before COVID, so I’ve been looking for ways to have those experiences again right now. Things that give us a little date […]
After what feels like ages, I am so thrilled to be taking a little vacation on a road trip to the beach this week! We’ve rented a condo that not only has spectacular beach views but also provides a pool. I plan to divide my time between both while keeping a cocktail in hand at […]
I’m still hooked on good ol’ thrillers this month. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ve been reading as many thrillers as I can get my hands on these days. I think it’s partly due to the fact that everyday is pretty much the same, and I need that feeling of something exciting […]
At the end of every month I find myself wondering where the time went. During this age of COVID (ugh…so tired of this) I feel like time is this gelatinous blob keeping me in some sort of suspended animation. Every day I go through the same motions. Literally the exact same motions. Nothing changes, so […]
If you don’t get dressed up and read in your bathtub, are you even living? LOL After taking a bit of a break, I went on a little reading streak in June. I spend a lot of time pouring through recommended reading lists, and very rarely come across one I don’t enjoy and wouldn’t recommend. […]
Surprise, surprise…another month in quarantine. Is anyone else feeling like the days are just running together? Finding things to differentiate our time has been a bit of a challenge. When I started these binge-watching posts (checkout our April and May movie lists), I didn’t think I would still be referring to these as “quarantine movies” […]
Summer time is such a fun time to be a dog mom! Well, it’s always a fun time to be a dog mom, but summer just feels more special than other times throughout the year. There’s always something fun to do! Our girls live inside with us, so I always look for ways to get […]
So many good Amazon finds, so little time. Like everyone else, I’ve been doing more online shopping and when I find good values, I love to share them! This post is a roundup of my favorite Amazon finds from the month of June. The biggest scores were two summer dresses that I am really pleased […]
While wine rules most evenings in our house, once summer arrives I’m ready to start sipping something different. I look for easy summer cocktails that elevate an ordinary home patio or (inflatable) pool and transport me, at least mentally, to a relaxing resort oasis. There are a lot of easy summer cocktail recipes out there […]
Another month spent staying at home meant another month where we binged a lot of movies and shows. Check out everything we binged in April here! I don’t really like calling our situation a quarantine, because technically that’s not what it is. But that seems to be the standard term these days for staying at […]
It’s officially summer and I’m here to help you make pour decisions with an unstuffy summer wine guide! And surprisingly, this post is not all about rosé (although judging by my love of Josh Cellars Rosé in these photos, I could easily do that). I compiled a list to guide you through summer no matter […]
With all this extra time at home, I’ve been doing some home organization. You can check out my latest pantry project here. This week I tackled my bathroom and let’s just say it was long overdue. Ordinarily I’m pretty organized but over the course of many days of hastily getting dressed or packing quickly, I’ve […]
Every year I make a cake for our girls’ birthdays. Last weekend we celebrated Lola’s first birthday and I made a simple boxed vanilla cake. I love to bake but I’m no Ina Garten. That being said, I do want it to taste good and I find that most boxed cake mixes these days are […]
Last weekend our little baby Lola turned a year old, and I can’t believe it! Where does the time go? Since you only turn one once, I wanted Lola’s first birthday to be nothing short of beautiful and sweet just like she is. I did my best to make the celebration as festive as possible, […]
As we enter into our seventh full week of self-isolation and working from home due to Covid-19, my list of things I’m looking forward to after quarantine keeps growing. Having things to look forward to has always been a bit of a coping mechanism for me. When I was a child, any time I was […]
Mother’s Day is going to be hard this year. I know I won’t be able to see my mom, and as much as I enjoy FaceTime, it’s not the same thing. But, all this doesn’t mean that I won’t be sending something to show how much she means to me. There are a ton of […]
When it comes to entertainment, the inevitable question in our house every night is “what do you want to watch?” While millions of us are spending more time on our couches, I thought I would compile a list of everything we binged in April in case you’re running out of ideas yourself. Quarantine or not, […]
While travel may be put on hold for a while, it can be hard for those of us who spend a decent portion of our lives doing just that. It’s tough knowing when I may see some of my favorite places again. So what’s a travel blogger to do? I’ve been enjoying a little mental […]
Things are changing just about daily, and while I am committed to keeping things “normal” around here with the kind of content you’re expecting, I’m also modifying my articles a bit to be cognizant of the world we are currently living in. While we are all practicing our best stay at home lifestyles right now, […]
