When I saw this salad on Oh She Glows blog I knew I needed to make it. And I did, that same day. Luckily I had almost all the needed ingredients, with the exception of a lemon. So I hauled ass to Tar...
Tea sandwiches are a great appetizer for any event. I made these for a gathering with my family on Sunday and they were a big hit. And they are so easy. Like stupid easy. You can make them fancier by...

Juliet turned 2 months on Monday. She is growing so big, so fast. I packed away all her newborn clothes about a week and a half ago, marveling that those teeny tiny onesies were way too big in the be...

I had been planning to post my maternity photos months ago and then Juliet surprised us with being a month early, so I never got around to it. These are my favorites (there are many!) from the ...

Ive been getting creative in the kitchen lately in terms of using whatever is it that we have in the fridge or pantry (aka pantry party). I do this to save money and avoid the grocery store. Ye...
