A Recipe For You Busy Moms

I don't know about you but I am busy!  I love to cook gourmet but don't have the time anymore and it can be hard to find some really good quick recipes that taste wonderful from the jump-start and don't have to be altered.

Last night the kids and I made this and it was delicious!  Super easy to make and minimal ingredients..

This is one you should definitely add in your recipe cardholder.

Enjoy!

What Can Be..

Winter seems to have dragged on.  It has been relentless.  Right now it's snowing again..

I know a lot of people are tired and it seems like spring will never come.

I am here to tell you it will.  Change your perspective.  You see underneath all that snow something is brewing..

And soon winter will seem like it never existed..

Coastal Collections

Good Morning!

I have been thinking a lot about the ocean recently .. 

Being from New Jersey I miss the smell of the ocean air and the sound of the waves coming onto the beach.

One day I will own a small Oceanside cottage but until then here are some ideas to create that atmosphere.

Are You Ready?

Fall is just around the corner..even though it doesn't feel like it around here.  We are in the middle of a heat wave and I think I am ready for the changing of the guard.

Good Afternoon!

I love the feeling of courtyards.  

It makes you feel like your on a vacation and I am all about that :)

Your home should be a sanctuary where you can get away from all the busyness.  Even if you have little kids there should be a place where it's your own getaway and creating a courtyard experience can do just that.
