    Sometimes you just have to jump. Put both feet in and close your eyes to the imperfections along the way. In the spirit of taking risks, I’m sharing another how-to video, but this time, you can see me. And, I’m talking on camera, which is terrifying. Luckily, making this cocktail isn’t. With just four ingredients…

    Today, Lori Barnes of Born in Heels and I are switching places. An incredibly knowledgeable make-up guru, she knows a thing or two about cosmetics (actually around a million, but who’s counting). So, I thought she’d be the perfect person to ask why our make-up is always falling off. Here she’ll share tips for making sure…

    This weekend, I took myself to see Far from the Madding Crowd. It was sweeping and beautiful and lovely. If, like me, you have a weakness for period romances set in England, then get yourself to a theater to see it immediately. Also, Carey Mulligan is fantastic in it. See for yourself.

    This recipe has been a favorite at our house for a long time. We used to make it all the time, and then, we had Ellie. She liked some of the components, but is not a fan of fish or lettuce. So, I forgot about it for around a year until Keegan mentioned it again.…

    Don’t let this serene photo fool you. Things have been nuts around here. Moving and selling your house is not for the faint of heart, but we’re starting to get settled. So, soon, it will be like this. Maybe. The house next to our is empty right now. A local developer will be flipping it…

    Lately, I’ve been working on picking up a few new items for summer. Below are my recent shopping finds. All are in my closet – tested and approved. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 Are there any favorites you’ve found that I should consider? I’m currently on the hunt for new flat sandals. Any…

    This photo was taken at our new home. In it, Ellie is giving her baby Sweetie a kiss. Over the next few days, we will be moving and settling into our new house, so I will be taking a short break from the blog. As we move furniture and hang curtains, I’ll be snapping photos on…

    Twelve years ago, one of my oldest friends got married. She had wanted to set me up with her husband’s brother for a year or two, but we never crossed paths until their rehearsal dinner. When we met, I thought he was pretty boring. He asked me about a million serious questions: where I wanted to…

    Memorial Day is a week from today, which blows my mind more than a little. Where did May go?* But, as my mother would say, “Any who,” my guess is that you might have some fun plans for your three day weekend. A grill might be involved or even a potluck could be in order,…

    Yesterday, I shared how the house looked when we bought it. Today, I’ve got photos of how it appears now. In the spirit of full disclosure, it looks a lot barer here than it normally would. We had to remove all personal photos when we put the house on the market, but this should give you…
