Thank you all for your lovely comments on my announcement. I love hearing from you guys, and a lot of the comments about being pregnant with a toddler versus having a newborn with a toddler were reassuring that I’ve got this:) — We got lots of April showers over the past three days, but that didn’t stop us from having a fun weekend. Sadly, the neighborhood Easter egg hunt was cancelled, but we still hosted the brunch after-party we had…
We got these Serena & Lily dining chairs to replace the uncomfortable old wooden ones that came with our table. We opted for outdoor bistro chairs because they are so much cheaper than upholstered chairs and figured they’d be kid friendly. This video made me smile (and want to get up and dance). I tried this Beautycounter mascara and this popular mascara, and ended up just going back to old faithful, Lights, Camera, Action because they were both bad.…
Hello out there! Are you guys tired from the holidays? I sure am! We packed our bags yet again and headed to Hillsborough for Christmas. It was actually good to get out of our house because we were forced to take a break from the never-ending to-do list that came with moving into our house. My sister’s fam came down from Charlottesville and I got to meet baby Birch! Gosh he was tiny and very cute! Emerson got along great…
I’ve received a bunch of requests for the veggie curry recipe I’m always making (I pretty much make this every Thursday), so here it is! I usually wing-it, but I know many people prefer a formal recipe to follow. I’m an impulsive, sloppy cook, and get annoyed with measuring; that is actually how this dish was born. I think it evolved from an Indian Shrimp Curry recipe that I liked and adapted over time. Here’s what you’ll need for two…
TJ’s Green Goddess Salad Dressing – I’m the world’s pickiest when it comes to store bought salad dressing. The only other one I’ve ever liked was this lemon dressing from Whole Foods. But I like this one!! And it’s cheap and pretty healthy, so this is a win. Synergy 48oz kombucha – This isn’t really a new discovery, but more of a realization that this huge kombucha is only $8.99 and it’s a way better value that the small ones.…
Would you believe that I didn’t start eating pizza until I was in college?? I didn’t like red sauce as a child, and since there were no other kinds of pizza back then (well at least not in small town Hillsborough), I just didn’t eat it. When I got more adventuresome (ha, pizza is basic) in college, I become ravenous for pizza, realizing what I had been missing all those years. Fast forward to today, and we eat it almost…
I received a bunch of requests for more meals, so here they are! I’m always curious to see what other people eat, especially with little ones. There’s nothing pretty or fancy about these meals – During the week, I’m all about fast, healthy-ish meals, that won’t break the bank. Breakfast Every Day I’ve eaten the same breakfast with some variation for the past six years! Overnight oats made with almond milk, raisins and cinnamon and topped with sliced banana and…
Happy Monday. Hope y’all had a great weekend. We did a lot of relaxing and, surprise, surprise, eating! We mixed it up on Friday night, and instead of pizza and wine, we had thai food and tequila:) I finally bought some Reposado to have at home and we enjoyed my favorite spirit-forward marg-ish drink: 1 to 1.5 oz reposado tequila .5 to 1 oz orange liquor (like Grand Marnier) juice of half a lime few drops simple syrup We tried…
I found it very overwhelming when Emerson started eating three meals a day, and I still find myself staring into the fridge when she rejects the first meal I’ve made for her. Emerson has always been a good eater, but she doesn’t really like meat. Now that she eats everything we eat for dinner, I’ve been struggling to find recipes that she likes. Many of my go-to recipes with chicken, ground turkey, or beef get thrown on the floor, so…
