I swear every year goes faster than the last. With a whirlwind Christmas trip from New York to California I’m looking forward to a quiet and relaxing […]

I warned you, didn’t I? Summer = all peach everything around here. But summer also means hurricane season and this one is already a doozy. Living in Louisiana we were lucky to be far enough north hurricanes weren’t really a concern, but you have never truly seen a storm until you have seen a storm […]

As promised, I combined whiskey and popcorn. You’re welcome. Ever since I learned how easy it is to make your own microwave popcorn, I’ve been on a huge popcorn kick. It only seemed natural to make caramel corn as Christmas gifts to give out to family and friends. I made a S’mores version for the […]

I love 3 day weekends. I think every weekend should be a 3 day weekend and that working hours were 10-2 instead of 9-5. What a great schedule, don’t you think? Ok, so maybe that is not realistic but it sure is nice when these 3 day weekends pop up and this past weekend was no […]

I know what you’re thinking, “Didn’t Kelly just make oatmeal cookies?” You’re right, I did, (check it out here) but as I was making these cookies last night, which were originally going to be pumpkin snickerdoodles, I had the sudden urge to add oatmeal. I have no idea why, I just felt compelled to add oatmeal. […]

If you’ve noticed a decrease in blog activity lately…we have a good excuse! Stephanie went and got married and Kelly was there alongside her! We’ve got a bachelorette trip to New Orleans to recap plus we have TONS of wedding pics to share with you. Kelly also moved and Steph has a honeymoon to go […]

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your day is filled with family, friends, and food! Now officially begins the holiday season and it is universally accepted to listen to Christmas music (even though we’ve both been doing that for months). When taking a moment to reflect, we are both beyond blessed by having so much to be […]

This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds. Every year my family (my big family of aunts, uncles, and cousins) rents a beach house for a week in Aptos, CA. It’s amazing and wonderful and fun! Some of my favorite childhood memories are from the beach house and even though we see our extended family on […]

Well it’s a Monday after a vacation weekend…what can I say? I’m going to be needing a detox of sorts! Kelly and I spent last Thursday to Easter Sunday in Portland, Oregon, celebrating her birthday, visiting cousins and exploring the city. But that’s a post for another day! Be on the lookout for our travel […]

It’s obvious we have an ice cream obsession around here, but sometimes you want to beat the summer heat and not feel guilty about indulging. Or maybe you’re doing the Whole30 like us and can’t have sugar. Or maybe you just want a healthy summer treat for the kiddos. Whatever your reasoning, these popsicles are […]

  If you are not watching The Great British Baking Show on PBS, you are missing out. Seriously, your life can’t possibly be complete. This show is hilarious, heart warming, tense, funny, educational and wonderful all wrapped in one! In fact, go stream the first two seasons on Netflix then come back and read the […]

Happy Monday! Today I am going to take you on a tour of my hometown: Elk Grove, California! Steph and I were approached by this awesome company called RelayRides to highlight the gems in our hometowns. RelayRides is a ride share program. So if you wanted to fly into Sacramento International Airport and drive to […]

If you haven’t noticed, we have quite the ice cream obsession around here. But can you blame us?! It’s summer! And ice cream is delicious. When I was growing up we got to have “treat” each night before bed. It could be anything: cookies and milk, a popsicle, a piece of pie. Mine was always […]
