Monthly Musings {April 2025}

Happy Thursday! I am linking up with Holly and Patty today for the April edition of Monthly Musings! Today we are talking all things spring!

1. Do you celebrate Easter, Passover, or another holiday in spring? We celebrate Jesus's death and resurrection.

2. Do you plant a garden? Any tips for those without a green thumb?

Unfortunately I do not have a green thumb. We have planted a couple of different flowers in our yard, but we can't seem to keep them from season to season.

3. How do you decorate for spring?

A few pops here and there, nothing crazy.

4. Desserts that just say spring to you? Definitely carrot cake!

5. Favorite spring flowers?

Peonies are my favorite!!

6. Best tips for hosting spring events? I always love to have a pretty table set with cute themed napkins!

7. Favorite beverage or cocktail that makes you think of spring? I always break out the rosé or white wine when the weather starts to warm up.

8. Vegetable garden, flower garden, both, neither? In a perfect world, I'd have both. But again, I just can't do it. Maybe one day!

9. Favorite Easter/Passover candy?

A Dove chocolate bunny is always a must have for me this time of year!

10. Marshmallow peep? Gross or yes please? That's a NO from me!

Have a great Thursday!

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...

Let's Look: September 2024

Hey, friends! I hope you are having a great week so far! Today is the September edition of Let's Look. But before I get into that, I want to talk a bit about today, September 11. Today is the 23rd anniversary of the attacks on 9/11. I was only one year old when this happened, so I obviously do not remember where I was or what I was doing or anything from this day. All I know is because of the people who continue to honor to victims and the heroes of this day. I have had the honor of visiting the memorial and museum in NYC twice now, and both times I have been were such an incredible experience. Visiting there is heavy. It is sad. It's informative. It's also beautiful to see how our country came together in such an awful time. I love this picture that I took on my last visit. The leaves in the picture are from a tree that survived everything from that day 23 years ago. It was transported to a greenhouse for a while, but it was eventually moved back, and I loved that I could...

Friday Favorites {10.18.24}

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week. Well guess what is back tonight?? NEW Hallmark Christmas movies!! Ummm YAY!! I'm most excited about Confessions of a Christmas Letter (Angela from The Office is starring in that one!) and Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story! For some foodie faves... This right here. It made my week. I'm obsessed with the tuna from Beagle Bagel. It's amazing. I can never say it enough! I made egg drop soup for the lunch the other day, and it was really good! It's always been my favorite soup from Chinese buffets. I didn't feel great and wanted a soup...luckily I had all the ingredients. I used this recipe here. The weather this week was absolute perfection. I mean, it was really, really cool. And it was fabulous. So, that means.... I broke out a sweater and my Sorel booties that I love so much! I always forget how good the Bible app is. I opened it up...
