Any day of the week, I will choose whisky over wine! And when I’m not drinking it on the rocks, I am incorporating it into a fizzy, sweet cocktail like this Blackberry Whisky Fizz cocktail recipe! Surprisingly, my favorite whisky to mix with isn’t a straight whisky, but Fireball! Mmmm….. I could drink Fireball straight…
Summer is so close, we can taste it! Or is it just these Sour Cherry Margarita Jello Shots…? Either way, I am stoked for better weather. The last 6 months have been somewhat of a whirlwind for my family. We moved to Eugene, OR in November when my husband got a job transfer. While we…
Watermelon Waffles: Oh, summer…. A time for mothers to spend quality time with their kids after a long school year of separation. You’re going to have so much fun going to parks, baking, doing arts and crafts…. You know, Pinterest stuff! Well, at least that is what June is like. July and August on the…
*Reposted* In Oregon, we are experiencing an absolutely miserable heat wave with temperatures up to 110 this week! And no, we do not have central air. But hey, I really think this $9.99 box fan is starting to do something… maybe… While this is completely unusual for us- even in the heart of summer, we…
Mmmm…. So, I had only had one experience with wine before I got pregnant, and it was the worst experience of my life. Yes, I know most of you women out there are now gasping and cursing my name! But in my defense, my first sip of wine was the most dry red wine I…
Homemade Gripe Water Recipe This homemade gripe water made life SO much better for us! Everything about my baby boy was so perfect from the very beginning. He is adorable, breastfeeds very well, and hardly cries- just looks at you with his dark blue eyes. I wondered how I got so lucky, and wondered what…
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! And many of you, like me, are experiencing mandatory social distancing, restaurant & bar closures, or even just aren’t wanting to risk going out in crowds right now with COVID-19. You’re probably hunkering down with your stocked pantry, toilet paper, and plenty of hand sanitizer instead of drinking with hundreds of…
I never, ever, in a million years understood Groundhog Day as a child. But now that I’m an adult? Nope- I STILL don’t understand it. I mean, we take a groundhog, hold it up, and we look for it’s shadow to determine if we have more winter? It makes no sense! First, you would think…
Okay, you want to be the “Pinterest Mom” at your kid’s Valentine’s Day party at school, but you’re also kinda lazy? Then these are the perfect treat to bring! No oven, no difficult frosting, and almost no effort! Just grab a box of graham crackers, a can of frosting, and some pre-made fondant, and you…
Halloween is definitely a fan favorite holiday in my household. From pressing ALL of the haunted house buttons at the store to eating our weight in candy and cookies BEFORE Halloween, it is easy to see why. And even though Halloween this year may look a little different, the spirit of Halloween is still in…
This post has been compensated by Bush’s Beans. All opinions are mine alone. #BushsBeansFallFlavor When the school year rolls around, I feel like I finally get into a routine again. I can focus on my work and schedule, keep the house clean, have delicious family meals ready at a decent time, and just be super…
I absolutely love seasonal fruits and berries, but by far, blackberries are my favorite. My childhood summers were filled with family trips to pick blackberries to make jar after jar of blackberry jelly. Jelly was one of the biggest ordeals of the summer in my family since I can remember. It was quite the assembly line of…
