Confession, I’m actually super self-conscious about wearing sleeveless tops. I have always thought my arms were too big, so I think I look better in shirts with sleeves. It’s one of the reasons I love wearing jackets so much. Not only do jackets cover up my arms, I think jackets really complete a look. I…

Are you a salad person? In the summer, I definitely prefer to eat salads for lunch over most other things. I normally prefer hot food, but in the summer, I love a cold salad with cold roasted veggies on it. This arugula beet salad is my current go-to. I roast up a large batch of…

A couple of weeks ago, I visited my friend Ramona of Fab Everyday in Austin, TX. Although I had been to Austin one other time for Mom 2.0, I hadn’t gotten to explore much of Austin, other than the conference hotel and a quick trip to Torchy’s with some bloggers for a quick dinner. This…
I’ve gotten more into nail art over the last few years. Lately, I’m really loving the modern french manicure trend. It is so popular for spring, and I hope this is a trend that stays. It’s an easy way to enter the nail art space if you’re not ready for major designs or bejeweled nails….
Since it’s national apple pie day, I decided to try making this apple pie cookies recipe. Honestly, these cookies are really delicious on their own. They are very easy to make and they are so moist and chewy. The chunks of apple add a burst of flavor along with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Although I…
Today is National Kids and Pets Day – yes, that’s a thing! To be honest with you, I wasn’t sure I was going to get my kids a dog. I grew up with a dog and we had a dog before we had kids (Leon passed away from old age when my kids were babies)….

Its distinctive flavor can be incorporated into numerous cocktails, but it’s best known for the Amaretto Sour. Some people…
You spend one-third of your life in bed. Have you thought about what you’re sleeping on lately? Honestly, I never gave my mattress much thought. My main priority was comfort. Beyond that, I didn’t think too much about my mattress. Well, it turns out there are a lot of benefits to choosing a mattress made…
Today is National Peach Cobbler Day! My family loves peach cobbler, so I decided to change it up and make this peach cobbler pound cake recipe. I have made white peach cobbler before on my blog – it was early-on when I started my blog (and the terrible photos are proof of that). But, I…
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…
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…
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…
