Working in retail has provided me with many interesting encounters with many different types of people. Most of the people I deal with are polite, well educated and well mannered. However, I've learned that people of all walks of life generally handle one thing the same way - not getting what they want. Last week I had… Continue reading Getting My Way

Ingles Grocery Haul + Summer Pasta Salad {Menu Monday}
Summer is such a fun season to shop for groceries! The deals aren't as amazing, but I love coming home with loads of fresh produce. In this week's grocery haul, I'll share the deals I found as well as the ingredients for my favorite summer lunch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOkS_u81KHw This week we're also trying to ease out… Continue reading Ingles Grocery Haul + Summer Pasta Salad {Menu Monday}
High Five For Friday {and food holidays}!
1// Food holidays are so great right now. Because what is more fun than celebrating a food holiday AND posting the proof to Instagram? Last Friday night (National Donut Day) Paul and I had our weekly Chick Fil A date, after which we stopped for free donuts at Ingles. Chicken and donuts in the same day?… Continue reading High Five For Friday {and food holidays}!
Styling Printed Shorts
Printed shorts have been a thing for a couple years now, but I feel like I've seen them everywhere this spring. Sometimes printed shorts can seem like a challenge to style, and while you might think they won't be a very remixable piece, I'm here to change your mind. I've put together five different outfit… Continue reading Styling Printed Shorts
Kitchen Tour!
I'm participating in the Food Bloggers Vlog Every Day In June challenge from Christy Jordan of Southern Plate. Earlier this week I posted a tour of my kitchen as part of the challenge. I know I love seeing other people's kitchens, so I thought I'd share it here as well for those of you who don't… Continue reading Kitchen Tour!
Get That Song Out Of My Head
If you've worked in retail for any length of time, you've probably gotten sick of hearing the same music day after day. Or is that just me and my incredibly easily annoyed ears? Ha. Anyway, I've heard the same playlist of 70's and 80's hits every day since the day after Christmas. I didn't know these… Continue reading Get That Song Out Of My Head
Menu Monday: Eating From the Pantry!
I created this week's menu using almost entirely items from previous weeks of grocery shopping! I made a small grocery trip on Friday night where I got a few things that were great deals, but only a few items from that trip were used for this week's menu. I had plenty of meat and veggies… Continue reading Menu Monday: Eating From the Pantry!
High Five For Friday
1// I find no shame in digging through clearance racks in the kids clothing section...for myself. Especially when I can find a darling top like this one for six bucks! 2// This weekend will include some sister time! We're hoping to work on some fun things for the blog while she's here...hopefully we can keep… Continue reading High Five For Friday
Easy, Breezy Summer Uniform
I love summer outfits because of their simplicity. During the winter I'm always having to add a coat, scarf, or some kind of extra layer for warmth, so I love that I only need a couple pieces to put together my summer outfits. One of my favorite simple summer pieces is a maxi dress. Pair… Continue reading Easy, Breezy Summer Uniform
5 Minute Weeknight Sides
My favorite part of most meals is the sides. I love roasted veggies and mashed potatoes, but I don't always have time for those kinds of dishes on weeknights. Here are two quick weeknight sides that we've been enjoying recently. I love the way Applebees makes their steamed broccoli - here's my take on their method!… Continue reading 5 Minute Weeknight Sides
