Happy September! As the summer draws to a close, the grill is used less, and the oven more, when we cook our nightly dinner. Throughout the summer we enjoy canning various fruits as it comes into season. Apricots are some of our favorites, and I’ve utilized these delicious canned apricots into the chicken recipe I’m sharing […]
Easy & Delicious Ice Cream Sundae Bar
This post is in collaboration with Wayfair.com; all opinions, and delicious recipes, are my own. Can you believe that summer is almost over? It seems like it was just yesterday that summer was starting, but now the sun is setting earlier each day and Seattle can’t quite decide if it wants to cool off for fall or […]
DIY 3D Paper Hot Air Balloon Baby Mobile
When I started planning out our nursery, I knew that I wanted a travel theme; however, I wanted it to be different than the standard planes, suitcases, or vintage pictures. I love things like maps and skylines and wanted to incorporate those into my nursery. One place where I wasn’t sure how to decorate was […]
DIY Waterproof Pet Water Dish Mat
We moved our pets’ water dish to the kitchen a few years ago. This is convenient for refilling (especially since Pico is like the kid in Signs who always has to have new water, even if it was filled 5 minutes earlier); however, there are problems having it in the kitchen because it will accidentally […]
A Classic Whiskey Sour Cocktail

Normally whiskey isn’t my standard cocktail of choice; however, after discovering the Whiskey Sour, things might change. Did you know that August 25th is National Whiskey Sour Day? I hope you get a chance to partake in this delicious […]
Pasta with Apple Sausage and Sweet Basil Garlic Marinara
One of our go-to dinners is spaghetti, it is always in the pantry and can be made in just a few minutes when both Brad and I are late getting home from work. Sometimes I try to make spaghetti a little bit more exciting through other pasta shapes, flavorful marinara sauce, and other additions. I […]
The Easiest Fruity Cocktail Ever
This post is in collaboration with Smirnoff Sourced. All opinions are my own. Please enjoy responsibly. If you’ve been around here a while you might have noticed that I have a couple favorite things when it comes to my cocktails – fruity flavors, and bubbles. I also like making cocktails that are easy, if it […]
One Year Down
I never thought that I would be writing this post. Today marks one year since we entered the adoption waiting pool. When I left for Kenya last year, I knew that we would be entering the pool soon so I even left Brad a “In Case of Baby” list which included items that he needed […]
Cheese Stuffed Grilled Figs
This post is in collaboration with HomeRight. All opinions are my own. I’ve shared a few different fig recipes this year, but today’s might be my favorite. I didn’t count how many we harvested, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we picked over 500 figs off of our tree this year. I discovered that people […]
Grilled Chicken With Fresh Fig Glaze
Brad and I had a HUGE crop of figs this summer (and it wouldn’t surprise me if we get a second crop as well). Since we had so many figs, and it takes a few days for each batch of dehydrated ones, I needed to come up with some other ways to use them. I […]
