I smile about you guys and Elliot the pup every day. More Honey Bunnies and salads, right? Edible sunsets are cool too. Let’s really hang out. I’m going to New Orleans and Nashville soon! Yay! That deer really does pull that tie off ever so effortlessly. Picnics are my kinda adventure. All the Zinnias and Poppies in my neighborhood forever and always. Full disclosure: I was given payment from Annie’s Homegrown to post this resolution biz While this…

Change is good, right?! This year Thanksgiving was a different one for me. I stayed in Michigan (instead of flying to Minnesota, like usual) and cooked for my boyfriend, his parents, da roommate, his mom, sister and aunt. So we painted pumpkins gold, bought cloth napkins, planned out the menu, put a wreath on the front door, and lugged tables to the basement bar. I did a bunch of prep at home. Things like making, drying…
It’s fall, you guys. Turn the oven up and the heat down! Below are my current favorite things! A weird mishmash of kitchen things, edibles, and beauty biz. 12 Fall Favorites: one // These Salt & Pepper Shakers make me so happy. They were the best surprise! I plan on keeping them on display for my whole life. AND the holes are big enough for kosher salt which I think is just super thoughtful. Looking for cute…
Last weekend my friend Katie and I drove off to Cleveland to eat ice cream, sip beers, do cartwheels on grassy knolls, have real talk, wear shortie-shorts, and see my boyfriend’s band play. We fit a lot of eating and fun into this overnighter. Below is a little list of links in case you pop into the city and are looking for stuff to do/eat. Thanks to my girl Jessica for all the awesome food/fun recommendations! EAT…
Last weekend was a Chicago adventure. It was full of record shopping, brunch, cinnamon rolls, photo booths, beers, hat and boot shopping, coffee drinking, and plenty of ice cream. Can you believe that I’ve wanted to go to to Mindy’s Hot Chocolate for years? Ever since she made this monkey bread on the Martha Stewart Show. And I finally got to go to a Jeni’s Ice Creams scoop shop. I got the biggest sundae ever, and you better believe…
Sometimes I infused a BUNCH of vodka with fruit, like nectarine/raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and strawberry. Sometimes I have one of each flavor in a row in a Moscow Mule with a splash of St. Germaine and life is forever different. And finally Shiner Ruby Redbird is here with summer. P.S. DENIM FOREVER. Sometimes all I want is to hang out in your backyard. Let’s just trade sunglasses and try to eat kabobs and mostly talk about…
It’s warm out today! I can’t believe it. This makes me want to get beach ready with five awesome summer necessities, or five things I’m dying to get this summer: ONE // High-waisted Bikini via Maria Hoffman for fashion-swimming. TWO // Pink Fujifilm Instax Mini via B&H for memories. THREE // Swedish Hasbeens in Old Pink for dancing. FOUR // Tunes by the Dunes Radio in coral, obvz via Modcloth for tunes. FIVE // Pineapple Ice Cube Trays via Anthropologie for cocktails. For…
You guys, this little weekend getaway to Florida with my lady friend was the most fun ever. I think it has to do a little bit with the whole summerland beach-ville situation, and a lot to do with the fact that Kathy and I have the EXACT same idea of what makes a vacation fun. We are on the same page with beach runs, naps, calzone emergencies, big breakfasts, and pitchers of beer with lunch.…
Christmas was full of cake, perogi, cinnamon rolls, and pizza. I guess I should’ve said Merry Carbmas, ya know? I made a cake for no reason other than that I was out of World Peace Cookies that Nicole gave me. I was having chocolate withdrawal. I also knew I wanted to make my mom’s no-knead cinnamon rolls for brunch at my brother’s house. The dough is super thoughtful! You just stir it all up and pop…
