Probably the best fashion outcome of the pandemic has been the reemergence of matching sweat suits and all of the other leisurewear that is so popular right now. To be honest, I haven’t worn jeans in a year. Yes, skinny jeans are out and wide leg and mom jeans are majorly in. However, I still…
Last weekend we took our new rescue dog named Coco to Rosie’s Dog Beach in Long Beach, California. This was our first time taking a dog to the beach, although we frequent this beach quite often. There are a lot of great dog beaches in Southern California. One of my other favorite dog beaches is…
Did you know today is National Coffee Cake Day? My kids and I love coffee cake. We generally prefer the traditional coffee cake with all of the cinnamon goodness. However, I wanted to incorporate fruit into this recipe since spring and summer have the best produce! I decided to try making this blueberry streusel coffee…
You know that time at the beginning of spring where it’s not quite that warm yet but you want to wear summer dresses? That’s why I got this yellow and black floral dress. It is the perfect transition piece from winter to spring. The yellow floral print on a black dress feels very wintery, but…
It’s strawberry season! I love fresh strawberries this time of year. They are so sweet and gorgeous. I’ve made a few strawberry recipes over the years, so this year I wanted to try something new. I had never heard of spoon cake or spoon bread before so I decided to try a strawberry spoon bread…
Sometimes I stumble on a trend that I didn’t even realize was a trend. That’s what happened last week when I got this new red animal print dress. I chose it because I liked the simple t-shirt style shape with the tie at the waist. But once I started searching for comparable red animal print…
It’s officially springtime! Nothing says spring more than pastel colors! I’m obsessed with this lavender dress from Shein, so I wanted to share some of my other favorite purple dresses. Lavender is one of those colors that actually look great on most people. It definitely is flattering on warmer skin tones like mine but does…
Last week, we headed to Palm Springs and Palm Desert in Coachella Valley for the Desert X Exhibition. If you’re in the Los Angeles area between now and May, you should definitely take a day trip to check out this amazing art exhibition. If you haven’t heard of it, Desert X is a recurring international…
Did you know today is National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day? Yeah, I didn’t know it was a thing either until a couple of days ago. I hadn’t even heard of lacy oatmeal cookies before. I’ve made Florentine lace cookies before, but never oatmeal lace cookies. I love trying new recipes, so I decided to give…
If you had told me I’d be wearing this acid wash high-waisted mom jeans outfit as my newest go-to look, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I’ve been searching for the best mom jeans at various price points, fits, and styles, so I thought I’d share my experience with you. High Waisted Mom Jeans So…
I decided to try this copycat Starbucks banana bread next because I was so excited that you guys loved my Starbucks copycat egg bite recipe. It’s been my top-performing recipe since I posted it! Banana bread has been so popular since quarantine. I’m sure you have a recipe you love. But, I’m telling you, this…
Say hi to Coco! She is the newest member of our family! I’ve been thinking about adopting a rescue dog for a while now, so I thought I would share my experience with you. Although puppies are great – they are adorable and it’s so much fun to watch them grow – I felt certain…
I’ve told you that sweater dresses are definitely my go-to right now. I love sweater dresses because they are so comfortable but look put-together without even trying. You don’t have to iron them and they are really low-maintenance. I wear sweater dresses for work and on the weekends. I thought it might be helpful to…
This post about kids’ snack time has been sponsored by Simple Mills. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Are you struggling to keep your kids’ (or your own) snacking in check since we are all spending more time at home? I know this can be such a struggle for families. That’s why I wanted…
Are you a jewelry wearer? I tend to focus on one major piece of jewelry at a time, but there are certain pieces I always wear. My fingers are always adorned with gold rings, and my ears are stacked with little diamond and gold earrings. However, I also like to add other fun statement pieces…
