The holidays are the perfect time for some homemade baked goods! But I have good news: you don’t have to be an expert in the kitchen to whip up some seasonal sweets. I have a butterscotch walnut cookie recipe that you’re sure to love – and that will taste more homemade and complex than itContinue reading “Butterscotch Walnut Cookies”

Halloween Sweet & Salty Snack Mix
We are so close to Halloween! Although I personally am not a fan of anything too spooky or frightening, I do love the excitement that comes with dressing up, eating lots of candy, and celebrating fall. I particularly like this season this year, now that my little one is just over two and can engageContinue reading “Halloween Sweet & Salty Snack Mix”
Affordable Refrigerator Organization
If you’re like me, clutter drives you NUTS – but when life is busy, it starts to pile up. As it piles up, I can simultaneously feel the anxiety rising in me. One place that seems to clutter up quickly for me is my refrigerator. Between my own Diet Cokes (yes, it’s an addiction andContinue reading “Affordable Refrigerator Organization”
7 Tips for Young Professionals
This single momma hen is also a working professional. I’ve worked at the same institution (my undergrad alma mater) for over seven years now, and I’ve moved from an entry level recruiting position into a director-level role.

Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns
I am joining the Halloween train, y’all. I don’t usually decorate for this holiday – for two reasons: #1) I love my fall décor and really dislike the idea of taking it down and then putting it back up through Thanksgiving, and #2) I don’t really love spooky stuff and I’m not a huge fan,Continue reading “Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns”

However, some things are just the right amount of cozy for certain times of year. Think ChristmasContinue reading “Lazy-Lady Veggie Soup”
Makeup with Me
My entire life, I have been deemed a “girly girl,” and, even as a certified #BoyMom of a superhero-and-sport-loving toddler boy now, that is still absolutely true. My makeup time sometimes is the only “me” time I get in a day, so I really try to take that time to get myself ready and feelContinue reading “Makeup with Me”
4-Ingredient M&M Cookies
I have always liked the M&M cookies in the grocery store. You know, the ones that come in a plastic container and are made by the bakery and deli at the grocery store in your local neighborhood store? They have M&Ms or some attempt at M&Ms – some chocolate coated candy baked into them. AndContinue reading “4-Ingredient M&M Cookies”
Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh
It’s fall, y’all! I know it’s just now September 1, but like I told my favorite Walmart cashier (and yes I have one because she is the sweetest), “if decorating early for fall makes you happy, then by all means, decorate early!” (We also talked about watching Hallmark Christmas movies, but that’s neither here norContinue reading “Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh”
