Summer Musings:
This trail mix is the best of both worlds. It’s sweet, salty and filling. Pineapple, chocolate and cinnamon give a slight sweetness and it’s paired nicely with the salty pistachios, almonds and sunflower seeds.
My go-to playlist for summertime.
If you want a dinner that is clean, full of protein, and feels like comfort, you’re in the right place. We love to use spicy italian sausage and letting the zucchini and lemon juice make a light zesty sauce.
The year was 2014.. I pulled out a Home & Garden magazine that was perfectly filled with fall crafts and recipes. One of these recipes included soft pretzels — my love language. I fumbled around my mom’s kitchen, feeling like I was working on a science experiment while I dip raw dough into boiling baking soda…

Home & Garden
We haven’t done any big changes lately but I’ve been finding new decor and have done a little bit of painting which is fun! So here is a little gallery of new things I’ve incorporated into our home over the past year :)
I’ve been on a kick of viewing nature as God’s decor all around us and what a thing to search and preserve for things I can use in our home too.
This year’s Christmas decor felt a little unhinged.. and I quite liked that. I don’t feel like our style was easily defined. It blended the earthy moody-ness of our home with the 90s nostalgia Christmas feel.
Welcome welcome! Our home is fully decked out for halloween right now and I’m so excited to showcase it all here for you!! This is our 3rd year of decorating and it’s so fun to see how much things progess and grow over the years.
I’ve been really into the idea of mixing natural elements and hinting at a Spanish modern aesthetic. My dream is having a marble-esque counter on the middle island and dark butcher block around the perimeter. I want to reface our existing cabinets with classic shaker doors, all painted in a creamy off-white.
After living in the house for almost a year, we finally tackled the one project that we had been dreeeaming of! This wall between our living room and dining room is a the complete center of our house. You can walk a full circle around it and it’s always felt like it was in the way. But it’s a load-bearing wall so I knew that in order to open this space up, we’d have to get creative.

I remember my moms sloppy joes back in the day. Usually ground beef with a sloppy tomato sauce on white buns and a side of mac n cheese. Although I love those, I’m really really happy to have a healthy and equally as tasty version.
It only takes 3 ingredients and you can add it to so many things like cocktails, coffee drinks, dessert toppings, etc!
Perfectly refreshing & perfectly fall. This white wine sangria is full of fall flavors like apple, pear and cinnamon. Best paired with a breezy and sunny patio!
It’s packed with so many fall flavors like cranberries, apples, roasted sweet potatoes, and lots more. The key player here is the Boar’s Head turkey. I urge you to find your closest Boar’s Head deli (we have ours in Kroger)…
I’m new to coffee and espresso. I’ve always disliked it but something has finally clicked with me in the last year and now I own an espresso machine and crave that first cup of brewed coffee in the morning.
Nothing screams fall like a pairing of maple syrup, cinnamon and walnuts. And since I’ve been loving granola lately, I thought this fun and simple recipe would be a great way to ease into my autumn mood.
A beautiful and unique dessert for your next spring or summertime gathering. It’s light, sweet and floral.

My French obsession is still ever-growing. Binging all of Emily in Paris over the winter started something I didn’t know about myself. After learning to make coq au vin, cutting my hair into a French bob, and attempting to learn French on Duolingo.. I’m now expanding into a French 75 cocktail.
