Aaaaaand our Christmas cards are (mostly) OUT for delivery to mailboxes of friends and family across the country! I love this time of year when cards pour in with smiling faces of the people we love most! Whether you’ve been following my blog for years or pop in occasionally, thank you for reading along and …
FRIENDS! Thank you all SO much for checking in on me! I have received so many emails and Instagram messages from you all and it means a lot! My procedure on Thursday was a complete success and I couldn’t be happier that I left the hospital with NO DRAINS. Hallelujah. I was definitely freaking out …
This morning I am undergoing my breast revision surgery!For those of you who missed my last mastectomy update: basically, after my exchange surgery my left implant slipped out of the pocket (that was created during my expander fills) and as a result noticeably sits lower than my right implant. Anyway, Matt and I had my …
Grab a piece of paper and a pen — you’re going to need to make a quick grocery list for this White Bean Chicken Chili! I recently made a large batch of this delicious soup and it is definitely one of my favorites right now. You can make it on the stove top or in …
Matt recently requested a “healthy” soup for dinner. I did a little research, presented some options and together we landed on a kale soup! Honestly I wasn’t that excited about it at first but since Matt was all about it I decided to go with it. Spoiler alert – it was fabulous, which means I …
Today marks ONE YEAR since I had my tatas removed and 8 months since I got my new ones! Every now and then I read back through my mastectomy posts and honestly can’t believe how intense my whirlwind journey was. First there was the decision. Then lots of appointments. A Ta-Ta to the TATAS party. The surgery. …
Last weekend I made my absolute favorite grilled cheese. Over the years I’ve experimented with grilled cheese ingredients and finally have landed on perfection. I started with the delicious grilled cheese recipe that Lisa made for us earlier this year and slightly adapted it. Her tasty sandwiches totally converted my cooking method from a skillet …
This month Kristen hosted Supper Club! Without fail she always wins most fabulous tablescape of the year. I was so distracted by the wine once dinner was ready that I forgot to take pictures of Kristen’s delicious chili bar! For dinner she served chili, tons of toppings, salad, fruit and cornbread. And for dessert …
I wanted to pop in with a quick update on Thomas! Yesterday our little man had a very successful strabismus surgery. We were home by lunch and our loopy Thomas took a very long nap and woke up back to himself – running around, inhaling packets of food and searching the house for his sissy. …
If you don’t mind, please say a prayer for Thomas this morning! It’s going to be a wild morning as Thomas and I are scheduled to arrive at 5:30 am to the hospital for 7:30 am strabismus surgery. Matt will meet us there as soon as he can drop Caroline off at daycare at 7 …
This month Laura hosted Supper Club! We kicked off the evening with margaritas, dips, taser baton lessons from Laura’s husband (most hilarious thing of all time) and lots of girl talk! Isn’t her backyard perfect? It had stormed all day and Laura was worried her backyard dinner party would get rained out but the sunshine …
Yesterday I turned 30! It feels so surreal when I think about my life at 30 years old. I have two wonderful babies, a job I like, a home I love, the very best friends, a husband I fall deeper in love with every day and I’m healthy. I honestly could not ask for more. …
