I had a few lemons and limes on hand and I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I’ve made many lemon recipes on my blog over the years, but I have never tried a lemon tart. Since I also had limes, I decided to try making a lemon lime tart from scratch. I absolutely love to bake. For me,… View Post
My children are obsessed with watching YouTube lately. Every time I turn around, it seems like they’re watching another video where someone is making slime. I get it. I loved slime as a kid too. Recently, they watched an episode with a bunch of different edible slime recipes. I finally caved in and told them we’d try it. So if… View Post
As I dug through the archives, I was shocked to find I haven’t posted about a denim jacket since 2015 when I came back from Italy! It’s shocking to me, because in my wardrobe, denim jackets are a staple. Right before quarantine started, I found this tie dye denim jacket, and I’m so glad I have it in my jacket… View Post
A couple weeks ago, I made this apple slab pie recipe and I ended up having way too many apples to fit into the pie. What do you do with a bunch of diced apples that already have sugar and cinnamon on them? You make an easy apple crumble recipe, of course! If you’re looking for a super simple recipe,… View Post

If you had told me a year ago that the people who mean the most to me in the world are people I met on social media, I would have laughed out loud. If you had asked me if you can make real friends on social media, I definitely wouldn’t believe you. Ironically, my two best girlfriends (Terri and Ramona,… View Post
Dresses are my thing. I love wearing dresses because they are so comfortable, feminine, and generally figure-flattering. Empire waist dresses are usually hit or miss for me, but sometimes they hit just right. This red floral empire waist dress is perfect for my frame, so I wanted to talk about how to choose and style empire waist dresses. The reason… View Post
I’ve made blueberry muffins on my blog before, but it had been a very long time. The other recipe had a streusel topping and ginger, which is a great combo for blueberry muffins. But this time, I wanted something super simple. That’s why I decided to make these quick and easy blueberry muffins. This recipe is so simple to make…. View Post
This post has been sponsored by Sparkling Ice®. All thoughts and opinions are my own. To say I’m a busy mom would be an understatement. With my kids at home so much more, and telecommuting for my job, I’ve had to work a lot harder to stay organized so I can manage my busy mom life. Many people have asked… View Post
I found this dress at Target the other day and I quickly knew I needed it. I love the stirred, stretchy bodice and the ties at the shoulders. It’s super lightweight and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit or a grocery store run. Because I love this one so much (and it’s unsurprisingly sold out), I thought I’d… View Post
I’ve lived in Southern California for nearly 5 years, on and off. I’ve traveled up and down the coast from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Honestly, I thought I had been to all of the beaches in LA, San Diego, and Orange County. But last week, I found my new favorite beach. One of the major reasons I couldn’t wait… View Post
Apple pie is such a classic for summer and fall. It’s one of the few desserts that most people love. It’s nostalgic and delicious. But homemade pie crust can be kind of a pain to make. That’s why you need to try this semi-homemade apple slab pie crust recipe. It’s so much easier to make and tastes just as good…. View Post
There are certain dresses that are so good you have to buy two. I literally got this white floral dress in two colors, including navy floral because it’s so good. Its the perfect summer dress, and priced right, so I got two. When I first saw this white floral off the shoulder dress, I especially fell for the cutout lace… View Post
A few weeks ago, I shared this nuts and seeds cookies recipe. I still had a lot of extra sunflower and sesame seeds leftover from that recipe, so I created this healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies recipe. Both recipes are similar in that they are crunchy and nutty. But they are quite different because this recipe calls for oatmeal and chocolate… View Post
I’m longing for a vacation. Badly. I know I’m super privileged that the worst part about COVID for me has been the fact that I had to cancel several trips. I’ve chosen not to travel (other than a road trip to San Diego a couple weeks ago) because public health demands it. The best thing I can do to do… View Post
