let’s talk turkey
If there’s anything my Greek/Italian heritage has given me, it’s a love of food and a ton of family recipes, both of which will come in handy when I host Thanksgiving at my house this year. While the main attraction for my family and friends will be the food, in typical fashion, I am much…

driftwood inspiration
Last year, the hubs and I took a trip to the mountains and while I should have been enjoying the scenery, I got sidetracked hiking along a riverbed, when I found TONS of driftwood scattered all over the place. I picked up as much as my go-go Gadget arms could carry and hauled every last…

budget-friendly finds for fall
I long for days when the temps are low enough to wear jeans and long-sleeved tees without sweating bullets. While I hate to see summer come to an end, my hubby gets home from deployment in a few months, so I welcome fall with open arms this year! The A/C is still on full-blast at…
