THE BEST CAESAR SALAD DRESSING RECIPE
I’ve been slacking on blog posts lately, as is always the case in the summer when the kiddos are out of school, but it’s a new year and I’m slowly but surely easing back into posting; what better way than to start with a super simple, but incredibly flavorful recipe? My mom used to make…
HIGH SUMMER FAVORITES
This has been such a laid back, casual summer that we have all needed so badly; we’ve been living in the pool, reading lots of books, watching movies and just generally giving ourselves the time to be bored – a luxury we don’t always have during the school year. And while I typically don’t give…
ANTIQUED HYDRANGEAS + A SIMPLE SUMMER TABLE SETTING
One of the best things about growing your own hydrangeas is that, by changing the pH of the soil, you can also change the color of your blooms from blue to pink and vice versa. Down here in the south, come late August and into September, my blue hydrangeas turn a showstopping combination of green,…
JULY (p)INSPIRATION
If you’re following along on Pinterest, there is no doubt where my mind is currently….most, if not all, of my recent saves have been of perches with a bird’s eye view of the sea, beautiful, silvered cedar shakes and quite a few shots of the Italian coast. I’m so inspired by all the shades of…
LOVING LATELY: BLACK SUNDRESSES FOR SUMMER
While I’m always partial to a white summer dress (eyelet, preferably), lately all but one of the dresses I’ve bought this summer have been black. I love a black sundress with leather Grecian sandals and a textured tote bag or clutch for a simple, laid back but elegant vibe that can easily go from running…
FIVE RECIPES TO TRY RIGHT NOW
Summer is always my favorite time to try new recipes, but this year, I feel like I am still decompressing from the school year and so, I’m craving simple meals with easy sides that can be made quickly. Today I’m sharing three sides, a dessert and my favorite, no-knead bread recipe, all of which are…
LOVING LATELY
We are loving being on summer schedule, with nowhere to be and nothing to be doing, with the exception of baseball and swim practice a couple times a week, which leaves all the pool and quiet time that we don’t have during the schoolyear. Of course, I am loving every minute of this much-needed downtime…
HIGH/LOW FAVORITES FOR THE 4TH
Hopping on today to share a few red, white and blue favorites for the 4th! I love to decorate with the same things every year, but this year I think I’ll be adding this super budget-friendly buffalo check tablecloth to the mix! It pairs so well with wicker paper plate chargers and bamboo serveware –…
THE NON-TOXIC WAY I KEEP MY WHITE LINENS BRIGHT
I am a glutton for punishment when it comes to white linens – I can never say no to crisp white bedding, dish towels and all the white eyelet for summer. It’s just a matter of time, though, before they’re gray and dingy, and since I’ve long since given up all the chemical-filled brighteners, I’ve…
FRIDAY FIVE
After an entire week of rain and thunderstorms, I’m so ready for some sunshine and pool time this weekend! Time has been flying faster than ever lately and this week has been no exception. I’m looking forward to some much-needed, low key family time, game night and movie night and trying a few new recipes.…
MAY (p)INSPIRATION
One more week until school is officially out, and while we still have quite a few activities to get through, my mind is already on slow summer days, thanks to my Pinterest scrolling as of late. Lots of silvered cedar shakes, beautiful architectural details, vintage Broncos and gauzy linens are floating through my feed and…
LOVING LATELY
For someone who has always gravitated toward all shades of blues and grays, this time of year, I always crave more green – especially when paired with lots of texture, glass and linen for a sophisticated but approachable seasonal change. Wicker chandelier shades, burl wood picture frames, iraca baskets, beautiful ridged glassware and tortoise side…
