Good morning, friends! This is a pic of me and Jenny bright and early on Friday morning in the hotel lobby. Our first full day in NYC! Unilever invited us to stay at the Royalton during the big blogging conference that was going on in NYC that weekend, BlogHer ’10. But Jenny and I didn’t […]
Left: Photo via Jenny After settling in at the Royalton, the first thing we wanted to do on our whirlwind, 4 day trip to NYC was eat!! :) We acted liked locals, hopped on the train, and headed down to SoHo. Thanks to the Google Maps app on my phone, we were able to navigate […]
Hey guys! I’m back! Last week Jenny and I were in New York City running around Manhattan, shopping in Time’s Square, and eating every cupcake we could get our hands on!

I’m in NYC with Picky Palate this week, but while I’m away, Miley and Howie wanted me to post these pics. Miley wants to say hey, but she’s a little camera shy. Let’s see if we can get her to smile. She usually perks up if I mention treats. I toss her one. I’m a […]
In two short days I’m leaving for a fun girls trip to… New York City! I’ll be running around Manhattan with Jenny from Picky Palate. We’re being sent by Unilever to stay at the Royalton Hotel and experience “beauty, care, and culinary fare.” I’m not sure what all that means, but I’ve heard mentions of […]

Awhile back, I had to do something with our pots & pans storage situation. It was getting to be a nightmare. An avalanche of cookware overflowing from the cabinets whenever I needed to retrieve a single baking dish. I was taking everything out of the cabinets every time I needed something. Then trying to shove […]

This fun little shabby chic earring stand, made from an altered picture frame, is a great way to hang and display all your beautiful, dangling earrings.

…colorful thread… I love this drawer. It sits innocently next to me by the computer as I edit pictures and posts. I keep measuring tape in there and for some reason I can’t explain, I use measuring tape 62 times a day. Rows of rainbow thread give me a sweet surprise when I open it. […]
So, last week I may have mentioned that I have this odd fascination with smelling like food… But not just any food. I’m talking sweet treats. Desserts. Candy. Confections. Ice Cream. Chocolate covered strawberries. Things you might find in a bakery. Things you might find in a coffee shop. Things that are made with at […]
Miley and Howie had a great 4th of July celebration at the beach this weekend. There was barbecue, swimming, fireworks, and best of all… The beach! Miley has boundless energy. She could run up and down the beach for hours. While Howie prefers to crash into the waves. Time for a game of beach fetch! […]
Lemon basil. It’s taking over! I planted one last year. Note: I didn’t re-plant this year. But I woke up one morning and all these little lemon basil plants had taken over. I imagine by next year I will have an entire garden full of lemon basil. Genovese basil. One tiny little genovese basil plant […]

Photo via Tiffany @ Eat at Home Grilled Chicken & Pepperoncini Pasta. I love pepperocinis. I love pasta. I can’t wait to try this. I might make mine a cream sauce. *blush* And I’ll probably use a rotisserie chicken instead of grilled chicken. The bacon-peppercorn rotisserie chicken from Publix is delicious. I’m not saying I’ve […]
