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 […]
2016 Lexus ES300h Hybrid
This post is in collaboration with Lexus. All opinions are my own. I had such a fun week in the 2016 Lexus ES300h Hybrid. There was so much attention to detail which really makes Lexus stand out. The center console featured a nice large LCD screen, analog clock, climate controls, and plenty of other knobs […]
Easy DIY Grill Tool Trivet
During the summer we grill quite often for dinner. It makes life so much easier during the summer as I don’t want to add any more heat to the house with the oven on, plus, a nice grilled steak is always delicious. Brad mentioned that he wanted me to make something for him to set the […]
2016 Honda Civic Touring
This post is in collaboration with Honda and DriveShop. All opinions are my own. The Honda Civic has grown up. I had a Civic in highschool that I absolutely loved (we had it until just a couple years ago when we updated it to a new CR-V). Last week, I got to try out the […]
Red, White, and Berry Sparkling Cocktail
This post is in collaboration with Smirnoff. All opinions are my own. Please enjoy responsibly. Who is ready for the Olympics!?! Four years ago, I spent HOURS watching the Olympics (I never knew that white water kayaking was an Olympic sport and that they could build a fake course for it!). I was home a […]
Delicious Summer Berry White Wine Sangria
Sangria is a great way to enjoy wine. I love pairing it with whatever fruit is currently in season – and during the summer it is my favorite because I love berries. Sangria is so easy to make and it is great for parties as it is easy to make a large batch. Plus it […]
Fresh Raspberry Mint Mojito
I love using fresh ingredients during the summer for my cocktails. We have an amazing fruit/plant stand just a couple miles down the road and I will go there often on the weekends to pick up fresh fruit. A couple weekends ago we were in the beginning of berry season so I came home with […]
Periodic Table Beer Stein
I love a good nerdy craft project. I will admit that Chemistry definitely wasn’t my forte in highschool and college (let’s just say that I definitely wasn’t going to become a Chemical Engineer). I’ve seen the different words spelled out with periodic table elements and decided that it would be fun to see what I […]
Easy DIY Faux Garage Door Windows
For the past few years I’ve wanted to add something a little “special” to our garage doors. They just seemed so boring. A couple weeks ago I finally spent some time putting my plan into action and created some faux windows to our garage door. Here is the “before” photo, our boring garage door has […]
