I’m final catching up on some of the pictures I took over Memorial Day weekend! Three-day weekends are sometimes the best. That third day adds just enough time to make the whole weekend so much more relaxing. I think all weekends should be three days long – I believe it would make offices everywhere happier…
one year
This time last year Will and I were on the way to our New England honeymoon. It is crazy to think that it has already been one year since we got married – how time flies! It feels like our wedding was just a few months ago and the hot days of moving into our apartment…
brown butter chocolate chip sea salt cookies
Cookies are my favorite baked good to make. I have a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe that I know better than the back of my hand and can make in less than 45 minutes, including baking time. Still, I love to experiment with additions and substitutions to make different variations on the classic chocolate chip…

Welcome, Friday! It is feeling like summer around here. The air is thick, the temperatures stay warm into the night and the weekends are busy! I’m so excited to share our pictures from last weekend soon :) In other news, there are at least two or three free concerts every Thursday night (and another on…
classic granola
I have made granola about a thousand times. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but not by too much. Granola is one of those snacks that I can eat any time of the day and any time of the year. Granola is so customizable. It is easily altered depending on what you have on…
freedom hot air balloon festival
The first time I saw hot air balloons in person was when our family took a vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming a few years ago. Early each morning we could look out onto a field at the bottom of the mountain and see the colorful balloons rise into the pale sky. It was so peaceful to…
pretzel crusted caramel cookie bars
I’m so excited to tell you about caramel! I went to a pastry making class a few weeks ago with my mom where we learned how to make Gateau St. Honoré, a cake named for the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. Only the French would have a patron saint dedicated to making…

It’s peony season! via Sorry I’ve been MIA this week! I think the long weekend threw off my days. I have lots of pictures to share from the hot air balloon festival I went to this weekend and from our Memorial Day brunch so I’ll do better next week, promise! Until then, here are my…
watermelon lime mint popsicles
It’s almost summer! Kind of. I know Memorial Day marks the weekend when all of the pools open and people take off to the lake and to the beach, but I don’t like to let go of spring quite this early. I love spending time in the warm weather, but the cool mornings and evenings this…

via Happy Memorial Day weekend! Yay for holidays! Monday is my first paid holiday and I am stoked about it. Also, I have been in training sessions all week so every day has felt like Monday, which isn’t fun but it is great because when you think it’s Monday and it’s Thursday everything feels like a…
