And other things.
Hello hello! I know, it’s been a reeeallly long time since my last blog post. It seems to be harder and harder to find time these days. We’re now into December and the holidays! My favorite time of year. Though sunny days and shorts after Thanksgiving are still an adjustment (I know, even after a …
It’s now Fall and I still haven’t quite adjusted to 80F in September. Not that I’m complaining AT ALL, but the change of seasons definitely has me missing Seattle lately. Not all parts Seattle… e.g. the rain, cold, icy roads, traffic. You get the gist. I miss my old neighborhoods, familiar streets, wearing sweaters and …
In my on-going quest to eat healthier, I found this latest recipe on Watching-What-I-Eat.blogspot.com. These peanut butter & oat cookies are her take on a “breakfast cookie,” and I was hooked at “peanut butter”. I’m not oblivious to the fact that peanut butter is high in calories, but I liked this alternative to using flour …
It might just be a Saturday for most people, but it also happens to be my cousin Anna’s wedding day! Though I couldn’t attend the celebration, I wanted to give a little shout-out to her and her fiance Aaron. They are two people who compliment each other so well, and make others around them feel …
Hello! It’s been awhile, I know. Between house guests, birthdays, wedding planning, Summer in SD, and a recent Bachelorette party trip to Vegas, I’ve gotten a little behind on my blogging. Things have been crazy! Cra-zy. Since May we’ve made our way up to Laguna Niguel for my brother’s birthday and to Vegas for …
It’s recipe sharing time! Inspired by my upcoming wedding, I’ve made a conscious effort to eat healthier. Not to mention, I just feel better when I do. I found these two really great recipes while perusing other blogs. All credit for these go to TwoPeas & TheirPod. I loved the fresh ingredients and simplicity of …
Loved this and had to share. While taking a walk around my neighborhood, I stumbled on a park bench with a dedication. “Choose Happy,” in memory of – – someone I think I would’ve liked to know. Happiness is a choice. Amazingly simple, but often forgotten. Life has been hectic, but very happy, these last …
I’ll be the first to admit that I am a “girly girl.” I love clothes, shopping, flowers, and puppies. I wear pink, love things that sparkle, and coo over cute babies. You would think that planning a wedding would be easy for me. But I can honestly say I’ve never given much thought to the …
Last week Michael gave me the best present in the world! He asked me to marry him on our fourth anniversary together. I am basically the happiest person on Earth. And right now, maybe the most prone to getting into a car accident. Engagement rings should come with a warning label that says driving with your …
Hunger can lead to desperation… and grumpiness. It’s a proven fact. I had to think fast one afternoon when hunger pains struck and I hadn’t gone grocery shopping yet! All I had in the fridge was leftover rotisserie chicken. And spinach. Luckily 1 + 1 didn’t turn out to be such a bad combo. Add …
