How was your long weekend? I experienced a mixture of emotions, but overall it was wonderful and totally not long enough. Turns out, I can be a bit of a procrastinator… meaning on Saturday in prepara...
By now you must know I’m a big fan of margaritas—I’ve featured some form of a margarita here, here, here and here. I think they are the perfect refreshing drink that pretty much fits any occasion. Si...
I have been looking forward to Friday since Sunday (which isn’t healthy) and it has felt like this week went by at a snail speed (also not good). However, I must say, this week turned out a lot bette...
I was supposed to write this post on Monday, but life doesn’t always work out the way I plan. Anyway, our Cinco de Mayo was nice, a little less festive than originally planned, but overall a fun cele...
I know I usually post Fortified Friday’s today, but in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo this weekend, I am in the process of infusing tequila and its not quite ready yet. I have never infused alcohol, so ...
To make a fantastic drink, sometimes all you need is one perfectly-aged bottle of tequila. I’d like to introduce you to: Reserva de la Familia® by Jose Cuervo. If you’ve ever had tequila, you are pro...
This weekend is all about the margarita. This time of year in California is filled with delicious citrus. I was recently at my grandparent’s house and they have a lemon and blood orange tree that jus...
Cocktails can be intimidating. The first time I ever had fun with a drink was when I tasted a cocktail (the lemon drop) at a local restaurant (I never thought I’d like it), and after one sip, the fir...
I did it. I made pancakes from scratch. Little secret, it wasn’t nearly has hard as I thought it was going to be. I’ve made these many times and they have always been a huge hit, but I wanted to up t...
{Every year I buy these candy hearts, next year it would be nice if they made them taste better} Everyone seems to have a strong opinion on what this holiday means. I’ve heard everything from: “It wa...
{Logan sporting the Thunder Shirt} {Graduation} I am a dog lover…always have been. It is probably more accurate to say I am an animal lover. As a young girl, I always wanted to take animals home with...
In my opinion, the epitome of simply delicious is the classic Rice Krispie Treat. They aren’t complicated to make and the ingredients are a perfect complement to one another. I have many memori...
I have wanted to give my blog a facelift for a very, very long time. Finally, thanks to my friend (she doesn’t have a site or I would share it), my dreams came true and Lemon Drop Love received the T...

The long weekend was a true gift. Brian and I were able to do just enough exploring with ample relaxing time scheduled in. Our time off ended up being the perfect way to kick off a new year and exact...
Life just keeps getting in the way of blogging and I can’t seem to make things slow down. The days, weeks and months have truly been filled with one thing after another, with many ups and downs. I fe...
I am late. Christmas has past, but I wanted to share all the beautiful Christmas trees that I saw over our whirlwind trip to Chicago this weekend. Some were small, others large, but all perfect and w...
I don’t know about you, but I haven’t really had the need to be prepared to be cocktail-ready on any given weekend or weekday for that matter. Yes, the occasional holiday party may have called for it...
I’m not going to say my first 3 months here in L.A. have been an easy transition. If anything, I might chalk it up to being one of the most stressful times in my life to-date. Despite the combination...
Life has been full of to-do lists, errands, dinners with friends and family and making sure all the last minute details are taken care of before our move next week. I have heard the three most stress...
Yes, we are moving and no, not just down the street to another cute neighborhood in Chicago. We are moving halfway across the country to Los Angeles!! I just recently visited the area and found this ...
I made this delicious mac and cheese recipe a couple of months ago and realized I never posted it! I like to think of myself as a sort of mac and cheese connoisseur. I have made many different variat...
In celebration of the royal wedding and Brian’s brother visiting us last week, I decided it would be fitting to make scones. I don’t know about you, but when I think of scones I think of sweet, thick...
I haven’t been shopping in a couple of weeks, so I decided to treat myself to a little window shopping on my lunch break last week. Needless to say this innocent window shopping trip turned into a fu...
I know you haven’t heard from me in a while—let’s just say that I have been a little consumed with work and some personal endeavors. However, it’s all in hopes that I can eventually spend a little bi...

While Brian was gone this weekend the dogs and I broke the rules. Yes, they slept on the bed with me! I admit it and I don’t regret it—they are just so cute and I have so much space on the bed, why w...
I have seen this wonderful saying all over the web lately and I must say, it really hit home this week and I am convinced I need to have it framed in my house. Admittedly we all need a little reminde...
Boots: Steve Madden, Leggings, sweater and shirt: J.Crew, Shades: Fossil, Lipstick: MAC snob Call it a crazy-hair-low-key Sunday. That is exactly how I ended my weekend. The low-key part came from th...
Do you have any sort of food item that you stay away from at all cost? I definitely do, and my stay- away-from-at-all-cost food item is a cinnamon roll. Just the smell of a cinnamon roll baking makes...
