Let's Make Chili
I love making chili! Truth be told, I just learned how to make it this year--kind of embarrassing to admit--but it’s better late than never. And let me tell you, I don’t know how I’ve gone this...
St. Patrick's Day in Ireland
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fun to share some things about celebrating this holiday in its country of origin. My family and I lived in Ireland from January 2014...
I love to shop. Period. I would love to spend my working hours as a personal shopper. I'm serious. I could do it ALL DAY LONG! I have actually had several people over the years recruit me for gift...
Maybe you have a plethora of Holiday traditions and don’t need to add anything else (that’s ok!), or perhaps you are looking to start a new and fun tradition with your nuclear family. Either way, here are some fun...
Helping kids learn to cook: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It can be difficult to get started, especially when you think about that mess (and especially when they're really little). But it's also completely worth it! Kids...
I'm sharing pictures of my mom and me in honor of Mother's Day.

Last weekend we hosted our first ever Breakfast with Santa event at the lovely NOAH's Event Venue, and it was incredible!
We overheard so many guests comment about how fancy the venue was. They were right! NOAH's is just gorgeous, inside...
My husband and I are not big on common traditions. We rarely decorate the house for holidays or birthdays, and if you ask us what we're doing for the Fourth of July or Thanksgiving, we'll probably look at each...
We celebrate Thanksgiving in our household, but probably not the way most do. We prepare a delicious meal, surround ourselves with friends and family, and embrace how grateful we are for one another.
And then we celebrate our perseverance, our...
I am not known in my family for having a green thumb. My mom gave me a house plant in college that theoretically I shouldn't have been able to kill. It was dead by the second semester of my...
One pan dinners are a busy mom's favorite, right?
And this one pan Italian casserole is absolutely delicious! It's a family favorite and an excellent meal to make for company.
If you add a salad and some fresh bread, you've got...
