Hi, friends, and happy Monday! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. We got to spend Saturday visiting friends and enjoying one of those hot summer days in the pool that seem to happen far too infrequently but are always so much fun. Before we left for the day I bundled up all the pudding …

Lemon drop pudding shots are a fun twist on the classic lemon drop shot recipe in the form of a creamy, citrusy dessert. They’re so tasty! I’ve professed my love for pudding shots quite openly for a long time. They make the perfect, tiny boozy dessert, and everyone always loves them at a party. This …
With the 4th of July coming up next week, it’s definitely time to chat about a little patriotic fashion. While I don’t necessarily condone donning stars and stripes head to toe, I am absolutely an enthusiastic advocate of busting out a little red, white and blue for your July 4th celebrations! I usually like to …
If ever there were a celebration that spoke to my soul, this one is just that. Oh gosh, does that sound horribly over the top? The thing is, it’s really true! This party honoring the 30th birthday of Melanie Duerkopp, designed by Amanada O’Shannessy Creative, took place at Hog Island Oyster Co. With a casual picnic …
For some reason I think grilling corn is one of those things that is at times unnecessarily intimidating. There are all of these options about what to do with the husks and who even remembers how long you’re supposed to soak it if you do leave the husks on? And doesn’t that whole process just …
One of my favorite parts of summer is evening walks and sipping drinks on the patio at twilight. Better yet if you’re able to spend a few such evenings at the beach or along the shore at the lake! You may remember that last week I was daydreaming about a tropical summer vacation, and it …
These strawberry cheesecake pudding shots are a delicious boozy dessert perfect for parties and special occasions. They’re easy to make and always a crowd favorite!
Have you guys had a chance to watch Tiny on Netflix yet? B and I watched it this week and we’re seriously feeling so inspired as we think about someday building a house of our own. Tiny is a documentary that follows a couple as they build the teeniest of tiny little houses (about 130 …
Have I ever told you that B and I dream of one day owning a food truck? We actually have a notebook full of ideas and recipes and doodles. Every so often we have test kitchen nights when we’ll try out three or four recipe ideas and taste test them, making notes about what we …
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a great weekend and an awesome Father’s Day. As we head into the work week, I’ve been finding myself day dreaming about a summer vacation. I’m pretty sure such a vacation is not going to make the calendar for us this year, but a girl can dream, right? …
This morning I was taking a look at the schedule for the upcoming weekend and realized we have no fewer than four picnics and barbecues to attend. You’ve gotta love summer for that one! Once the weather is nice, people just love firing up the grill and celebrating everything from the average Saturday to the …
Over the last five or six years I’ve become a pretty avid art print collector. Letterpress prints in particular are my favorite, but lately I’ve also been trying to expand into picking up a few photographic prints, illustrations and watercolors, too. These watercolor prints from Kelly Ventura are seriously calling my name at the moment! …
