Saturday, Saturday, how I love Saturday. It has been a long week, and we won’t be relaxing much this weekend, but I’m still doing my best to soak in the little bits of rest that I can. I have a fun soup potluck and pumpkin carving night planned for tonight with some friends from college, which should be the…

via It’s Friday (and national doughnut day at that)! Sometimes short weeks get me all confused. My days are all off and every day this week has felt like a different day of the week, but not necessarily in order. My brain is very confused, but hey, it’s almost the weekend! We’re avoiding the news…
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!

I hope you all had a merry merry Christmas (or a happy Hanukkah)! We had the most wonderful day, and one of the best Christmases we have had. Earlier in December I hosted a baby shower for two beautiful friends who are due in January and February. It was a great reason to get my…
gift guide: for the hostess
I hate to jump the gun on Thanksgiving and post holiday gift guides, but hostess gifts are often relevant for Thanksgiving as much as they are for the holiday party season that follows. So many people travel or join family and friends for Thanksgiving that hostess gifts are just as useful for Thanksgiving visits as…
double chocolate chip cookies
With one week until Halloween, these double chocolate chip cookies are helping me get into the dark, spooky spirit of the holiday. I have never been that into Halloween and all of the spooky decorations, but I do love seeing all of the little kids, dressed up and so excited about their candy haul. Growing…
fall foliage trips
Two weeks ago I visited a childhood friends in the mountains. It was the beginning of October but the leaves on some of the trees were already starting to change. With the cooler weather that has come this week, I keep looking around and thinking the trees should be more colorful here than they are….
september goals
I can’t believe it is September already! August was packed with busyness for Will’s schedule (boo, surgery rotation) and my schedule, as work got crazier with the start of school. The last few weeks of August seem like a blur and I’m both afraid and hopeful that September is the same. I am so excited…
