Growing up, my mom made the best chile verde. I mean it was THE BEST! It was that recipe that all of our friends and family would ask her to make for every occasion.
I’ve never been a big fan of pork, but the sauce was divine and the smell of chile verde cooking in our kitchen as a kid is one I can still vividly remember today.

Read MoreSo why ski season style? Well….why not? We are in fact heading into winter and I’m pretty sure we all want to fashionably plunge into the season.
Read MoreI was lucky enough not only have been invited to, but to have been one of the featured influencers at the Party by the Pool event this past week. The event was hosted by The Modern Day Wife and held at The Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Picture this. A warm southern California evening at the chicest hotel set back in the hills of Los Angeles.

Read MoreIt’s that time of year again. You’ve probably heard heard it called “Christmas in July”, or “ the nsale”. I just call it the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And it is in full swing! If you’re not familiar with what the Anniversary Sale is, here’s the scoop.
Read MoreAfter cancelling our annual trip to Hawaii last May, I am so freaking excited to be heading there this month! So of course, I’m packing ALL THE THINGS! I’m probably totally overpacking, but hey, a girl’s got to make up for lost travel time.
Read MoreI’ve always had a home office, but truth be told, I never really utilized it. It’s upstairs and kind of tucked away and I always preferred sitting on my couch, looking out my front window while typing away on my laptop. That was until Covid hit and the kids all started distance learning!!! The downstairs area quickly became a workstation for the entire household, including Paul because he was now home, too.
Read MoreI can’t believe I’m just now sitting down to write this post, but there was no way I wasn’t going to document this epic trip, even if it’s almost a year later! As we can all attest, this time last year was a total shock to us all. Covid cases had just begun and the entire world had pretty much shut down! We all stayed in our homes for what felt like forever.
Read MoreI love cooking, but with a family of five, it's hard to plan dinners ALL week long. The kids are picky, no one likes the same thing, it seems like I'm always running to the store because I forgot something, OR I have a TON of leftover ingredients that I'm probably not going to use again! Ugh...it can be so frustrating!!!
Read MoreA few weekends ago, we participated in a family obstacle course! How did that come about? Well, I was browsing Instagram a few months ago, and an ad for Kids Obstacle Challenge showed up in my feed. The ad looked pretty cool, so I decided to check out their page. They INSTANTLY hooked me!!! I signed us all up (minus Ry cause it's 5 and up) before even discussing it with any of them. Maybe it's because subconsciously, I knew there would be whining before they'd agree. My life, per usual. (sigh)
Read MoreI thought I'd have a little fun with you and open up about myself. Read on for a few things you might be surprised to find out about me.
Read MorePeople are always asking me about what makeup products I use so I've decided to spill it ALL for you guys here! My makeup routine is not always the same (mainly because I get bored or want to try new a product), but I'll outline what my current routine consists of.
Read MoreOk, so it's no secret I'm OBSESSED with jumpsuits. And they are having a major moment right now! I mean, have you opened any page of any fashion magazine lately? I know jumpsuits can be a little intimidating, but if you find the right one it just might become your favorite piece.
Read MoreSo, last year was our first ever Valentine's Day at home with the kiddos. Paul and I would usually go out, just the two of us, but, with restaurant reservations needing to be made months in advance, menu price increases, and it usually landing on a weekday, we decided ENOUGH! Why are we not sharing this holiday with our kids? I mean, it's the holiday devoted to love, right? And it's not like we don't have date nights.
Read MoreThe Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is here and I couldn't be more excited! With Christmas being over, we need something else to obsess on, right? No, but really, it's a great sale. I've put together a lookbook for you guys with all of my favorites from the sale.
