TGIF! My first week back at work went pretty well, luckily we have Austin’s mom visiting us which was a huge help! It’s been really fun having her with us for the week and we are really going to miss her when she leaves on Sunday. I made this cocktail for Glitter Guide so head […]

 Quite possibly the easiest way to dress up a store bought cake is with edible flowers! I put together this 10 minute cake by purchasing a pound cake from my favorite grocery store and making a lavender glaze to pour on top. I added a few edible flowers to garnish and think it would be […]

 This is a super simple and refreshing cocktail for the summer — best enjoyed outside! It’s my version of a grown up screw driver — instead of just using orange juice and vodka you lighten it up with a mix of soda water and orange San Pelligrino soda and garnish with mint. Much lighter and more […]

  One of the favorite parts of my baby shower was the flower market stand we created for my guests. It was the prettiest backdrop for our brunch and at the end of the afternoon each gal made a bouquet to take home. Everyone loved it and I had so much fun putting it together […]

I’ll admit, I”m pretty excited my 9 months with mocktails is nearing it’s end, especially now that it’s HOT out, the thought of sipping a cool cocktail (or icy cold glass of rosé) on our deck is very appealing. I’ve never been a lemonade person but it’s something I’ve randomly craved during my pregnancy, in an […]

  I’m so excited to share the images from my baby shower today on Glitter Guide & Style Me Pretty Living! I had so much fun putting together my shower with the help of Julie and my parents. It was such a special day that I’ll remember and recount with my daughter for years to […]

          I’ve always been a big snacker – throughout my adult life I’ve consistently had three meals a day with a morning and afternoon snack (until recently when I seem to be eating around the clock!). I try to keep my snacks healthy– think rice cakes or apples with almond butter, carrots & hummus, a […]

    Like most of my DIY’s this project is prettttty simple! I don’t have step-by-step photos for these little napkin tassels so hopefully my directions make sense! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions. I created this tablescape for a post on Glitter Guide (see the full shoot here) and […]

I love horse races – I’ve been to several and would really like to make it back to the Preakness again one day since we live so close! Abby from the Glitter Guide team is heading to the Kentucky Derby this weekend (I’m so jealous!!!) so be sure to follow along for her adventure on […]

  How cute are these little cakes? They took about 10 minutes (if that) to put together and would be the perfect sweet treat for a Spring bridal shower or any celebration for that matter. I try to eat and share healthy recipes for the most part but my pregnancy has kicked my sweet tooth […]

A few weeks ago I ordered edible flowers from California to use in this cocktail shoot I created for Glitter Guide and as soon as they arrived I couldn’t stop planning other ways to use them! Keep your eyes peeled for some fun and easy Spring recipes using these gorgeous edible flowers in the next […]
