And, with April comes a fresher look! I am desperately trying not to buy new accessories and instead use what I have in my home. So I put this together with a few minutes between loads of laundry after spring break! The greenery is from a neighbor’s garage sale. The clock is perched against the [Read more…]
Our front entry needs work. The porch usually looks pretty good, but there is no walk way. It’s a driveway that lands right next to porch steps! So I like some of these walkways! These photos were curated from BH&G. I love this front door, but I just don’t think my HOA would allow for anything [Read more…]
Hi there- We just returned from a spring break in Miami to see the Sony Open Tennis Tournament! When your kids are competitive tennis players our trips tend to revolve around tournaments. Since my boys weren’t playing in the Sony Open I could just sit back and enjoy the views! And, with Roger Federer on the [Read more…]
While volunteering in my son’s class I noticed one of of his friends was snacking on sweet mini bell peppers. His mother is a genius. Peppers are nutrient dense; rich in vitamins A and C.

Garbanzo Guacamole: Let me start with this: it is hard to make a photo of guacamole appealing! With that said, this garbanzo guacamole appetizer is a really great appetizer or snack! I continue to read how adding garbanzo beans/chickpeas or white northern beans to guacamole is a great way to add bulk and offset the calories of the avocados. I [Read more…]
I found this milk can at a yard sale a few years ago. I dragged it home where my {first} husband expressed concern that I might be exhibiting signs of hoarder-ness. He likes new! He doesn’t like the idea of someone else’s stuff taking up space in our home. So I did what I do with [Read more…]
All three of my children, who are in double digits now, have their childhood blankies…. in their beds. My daughter, who is studying abroad, made sure to pack her blankie in her suitcase. It made me smile. Her blankie was a gift from her great aunt. My sons’ Gymoboree blankies were gifts from my girlfriends. [Read more…]

We are in puppy heaven right now with a 16 week old Bernese Mountain puppy, Chloe! Of course, during the crate and potty training we nicknamed her Cujo (1990’s movie reference.. or was it the 1980’s) and Crazy Eyes (from Orange is the New Black). But, look at this precious face during the day! We are [Read more…]
