Herb-Infused Simple Syrup
There’s a lot that I love about being back in the South. The people are friendlier, for one, and I don’t always feel so rushed to get things done. People move a bit slower around here, which often annoys me, but it’s a nice change of pace. I went to the post office the other […]
MoreMeet Cate
This is Cate, my darling and talented friend. Isn’t she precious? Cate is one of those people who you just long to be around. Her happiness is contagious, and her kind spirit won me over. I still remember the first time I met her. It wasn’t long after we moved here. The hubs and I […]
MoreZhto H Ellada (Long Live Greece)
After a long week of being sick last week, I simply couldn’t stand to stay indoors any longer come Sunday. All I had done for a week straight was come home from work and crawl right into bed. The extra rest was beautiful for the first few days, but come Saturday, my body was bored. […]
MoreSimple Saturdays
I was reminded last weekend of how important it is to have days that don’t follow an itinerary. My days are so often filled with schedules, deadlines, and checklists that I often forget to just enjoy myself. I love making lists, and I love itineraries. I crave structure. Although, sometimes, this desire for structure does […]
MoreVermont Getaway, Winter Edition
Out of all of the states that we’ve visited in New England, Vermont ranks among our favorites. With snow covered mountain tops, wide pastures, and quaint little towns that overwhelm you with their cuteness, it’s not hard to see why. Over the weekend we took our 4th trip to the Green Mountain State and enjoyed […]
MoreOoey Gooey Butter Cake
When a special occasion, celebration, or birthday rolls around, there’s only one dessert that will do for the main squeeze in my life. I wasn’t introduced to this delectable dessert until Jacob and I started dating. His mom got the recipe while in college and it has been a family favorite ever since. We eat […]
MoreSnowstorm Nemo
Growing up in the south I’ve had my fair share of tornadoes and thunderstorms, and even an ice storm here and there, but never have I experienced a blizzard. I’ve seen several feet of snow fall before, but never within a 24 hour period. I’ve had to deal with layers of ice over everything in […]
MoreAlmond Sugar Cookies
//UPDATE// 1/8// With no school, no work, public transportation closed, and a ban on driving in effect, Jacob and I are enjoying our first blizzard warm and cozy at home. After a morning full of homework for the hubs, and cleaning for me, this snowy day at home left me hankering for a sweet snack. […]
MoreGinger-Pear Muffins
When we first moved to Boston, three-day weekends were our golden ticket to travel. We’d leave bright and early Saturday morning and wouldn’t return until late Monday night. Whether we were headed out to the mountains, or just enjoying ourselves around town, we’d often return to work and school in worse shape than we were […]
MoreCandied Citrus Peels
Homemade food gifts have always been one of my favorite things to give (and receive) during the holiday season. My mom recently mailed me a special issue of Taste of Home magazine that solely focused on food gifts (she knows me all too well). After skimming through pages of masterfully crafted recipes, I began to […]
