The long weekend and unofficial start to summer is just around the corner! I pulled together some great Memorial Day food ideas for your brunch, cookout, or sweet tooth. Brunch: While many families spend the weekend at the beach, our family has a tradition of staying home and making an elaborate Memorial Day brunch together. It is…
weekend in philadelphia
Wedding season is in full force, both in our lives and in this time of the year. We have attended three weddings in three states in the past six weeks, and have wedding festivities of some sort almost every weekend from now until the next wedding in mid-June. With Will’s medical school schedule being so…
coconut cake with earl grey buttercream
If places could be a love language, cute local coffee shops would be one of mine. I think it is safe to say the same about my tea-loving parents. Last year, their New Years resolution was to go to their local coffee shop every Saturday they were in town, and they did! They know most…
lemon ricotta pancakes
Pancakes just feel like a weekend food, don’t they? I feel like we’re swinging into the weekend early with these delicious lemon ricotta pancakes! Ever since I tried the lemon ricotta pancakes at Sarabeth’s in New York last summer, I have been on the hunt to find something similar here. I am not exaggerating when…
may goals
April was packed to the brim and flew by so quickly because of that. We went to two weddings, drove through 5 states, spent Easter in Virginia, survived Will’s night shifts, made 800 cookies (!), and celebrated birthdays. Between lots of work and lots of social obligations, May is looking just as busy, if not…
pretty spring pajamas
If you know me, you likely know about my love for a good pajama set. A good pajama set makes me so happy, and the spring pajamas that are out right now are doing just that! My pajama set collection started in high school, when my mom started giving my siblings and I pajamas for…
25
Yesterday marked a quarter century of life for me. In some ways I don’t feel like I should be 25 yet, and in other ways I feel like I’m already older than 25. The realization that I am halfway through my 20s is stranger to me than just thinking about it as a transition from…
2017 spring wishlist
I just love spring. The beautiful flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, the cool, dewy mornings transition into lovely warm afternoons. Alongside the changes in nature, new styles start popping up in stores and we shed our winter closets for spring clothes and our boots for open toed shoes. I love pulling out dresses,…
carrot cake scones with cream cheese glaze
Can you believe there are only a few days until Easter?! Even though Easter is late this year, amidst everything else we had going on I feel like it snuck up on me. But one thing I always like to be prepared for, holiday or not, is brunch. Carrot cake scones with cream cheese glaze…
link love
I hope you had a relaxing, refreshing weekend that prepared you for a great week ahead. We spent the weekend with lots of family preparing for and attending my cousin’s rehearsal dinner and beautiful wedding. Since my large extended family comes from all edges and corners of the country, we don’t all get to see…
