What do you do when you have a whole bunch of ripe bananas and kids who are so ‘over’ eating them? Well, I usually make some version of banana bread – muffins or a loaf of bread are my standard go-tos. I recently made this recipe, and it was a winner. But I get so bored with regular banana bread,… View Post
When I was in high school, I owned a couple pairs of Adidas slides that I’d change into after volleyball practice. I didn’t really rock the slides outside of my sports seasons, but I do remember thinking they were ultra-comfortable and looked pretty darn cute with my knee-high Nike socks (I also wore pig tails for most games, btw). So… View Post
Remember last week when I talked about taking more fashion risks? Well, this floral suit outfit is waaay out of my comfort zone. Until recently, I’ve shied away from showing my curves too much. Why, you might ask? Well, I’ve always hated my super wide hips and full thighs. But then something strange happened. Recently, a few people (both men… View Post
Are you headed to any summer weddings? If so, I’ve got you covered. I’ve chosen some of my favorite dresses for every type of wedding, so you’ll know what to wear to a summer wedding. The dress I’m wearing could actually work for most types of weddings, except not for a formal evening event. To wear this at the beach,… View Post
I’m so excited to share this Argentinian alfajores dulce de leche sandwich cookies recipe with you! I’ve been dying to make a traditional Argentinian recipe ever since I got back from Buenos Aires. I finally got around to it when my friend from Buenos Aires recently visited and brought me so many goodies from his home. He brought me the… View Post
I’m half Italian. My grandparents immigrated to the U.S. before my dad was born. Although we are Americans first, my dad always instilled a strong Italian pride in me as a child. As an adult, I’ve consistently seek ways to connect with my Italian heritage. That’s why it’s so surprising it’s taken me nearly a year to get to the… View Post
One of my goals for 2018 was to step outside my comfort zone, in as many areas of my life as I could handle. I’ve always loved fashion, but I have never been much of a fashion risk-taker. I’m trying to shake things up with my wardrobe and also how I style myself. This front zip dress is one little… View Post
Despite our best efforts, our son is a super picky eater. He has been since he was an infant. He didn’t even want to eat solid foods for the longest time. I really thought being a picky eater was a phase, but my son has taught me some people are just pickier eaters from birth. Case in point – our… View Post
The handkerchief dress trend is one I’m still not 100% sure I love. Sometimes, I think it’s just absolutely the cutest, and other times, I feel like Tinker Bell. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I just prefer to dress like a grown-up vs. a child-like fairy (lol). But when I saw this dress (it’s under $30!), I decided to… View Post
Do you remember Rainbow Bright? I do. I had a doll and I even had a Rainbow Bright costume one Halloween. Rainbow striped things have been my thing ever since then. In college, I even rocked a rainbow striped bed spread that was from deliA*s (do you remember that brand? I was obsessed in late HS and early college). Rainbow… View Post
Getting to travel for my day job is a major perk. I love getting to experience new places and cultures. This wasn’t my first time in Detroit, but I hadn’t been back since I was 8 or 9 years old. I forgot there there are a lot of cool things to do in Detroit. Detroit holds a little extra specialness… View Post
I can distinctly remember my parents warning me about becoming a parent. They told me how hard it was and how much it would change my life. They didn’t really talk about any of the positives. I remember thinking at the time – wow, my parents regret ever having me. I don’t actually think that’s the case, I think they… View Post
Spring has finally arrived in Boston. I am almost ready to put away my boots and coats, and I even broke out a dress last week. Even though it’s not quite warm enough for summery clothes, I’m ready to update my spring makeup. If you’re ready to try some new products for spring, I’ve pulled some of the ones I’m… View Post
This post is sponsored by Hotter Shoes for the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own. What’s your go-to weekend outfit or, if you’re a mama, what’s your ‘momiform’? Mine varies depending on the season, but most of the year, it’s jeans, and a t-shirt with a layer on top. I personally love wearing blazers and jackets because I think… View Post
If you follow my blog or instagram, you know. Scratch that. I loooooovvveeee street art. Seriously, I’m obsessed. Everywhere I travel, I make an effort to find street art. I personally love the juxtaposition of a city and the art, out there for everyone to see, and hopefully, appreciate. I’ve been to a lot of cities and written about a… View Post
