  • 5 Ingredient Spiced Apple Cider

    Few things are better than warm apple cider. I think we can all agree on that. My version has just 5 ingredients and tastes great on its own or spiked. It comes together in about 15 minutes and smells amazing. So, what are you waiting for?

  • Winter Wishlist

    What I’d really like to do this winter is sit on my couch and watch Christmas movies for days on end while wrapped in a fur throw. I have a feeling someone (Ellie) has other plans. So, I expanded my wishlist for the season. (It’s pretty good.) – Drink hot cocoa. – Build a gingerbread…

  • Guilty Pleasures: Lips Are Movin

    Mondays can be hard, especially after a vacation. I think it’s time for a little dance break. Don’t you?

  • Happy Thanksgiving (Early)

    Photo by Megan of Crazybananas HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Over the next few days, I won’t be here. Instead, I’ll be chasing after this cutie, eating way too many rolls and watching movies with the husband. You know, very important business. P.S. While I’m away, you can catch pictures of Ms. E and our Thanksgiving feast on…

At our house, it has always been green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, Brookville corn and pie (apple in my case). Over the years, I’ve learned that at each of these family gatherings every cook has a signature dish or two. At the…

  • Lately

    We finally had new family photos taken. Megan knocked it out of the park again. I swear for about a month if anyone asked what we’d been up to lately, I’d respond with “The Royals.” And, we went to only one game. Here are the husband and I enjoying one of the coolest things I’ve…

  • Fast Food: Taco Night

    Taco nights are kind of a big deal at our house. They take minimal effort and have impressive results. I’ve pulled recipes for our favorite version, but you can switch it up to match the tastebuds of your family. These recipes are pretty enough to serve to guests, and the whole thing takes about 30 minutes to…

  • Missalaney

    1. The after of Dr. Client Client’s house is perfect. That master bedroom has me green with envy – like chartreuse colored. Amber Interiors kills it once again. 2. This drink from The Kitchy Kitchen sounds like the perfect winter anecdote. 3. With the holidays right around the corner, I’m growing more obsessed with beautifully styled bar…
