TJ’s Maple Marshmallows: To Rice Krispie or to not Rice Krispie?
If you’re anything like us, you LOVE Trader Joe’s and all of the fun seasonal items that come out throughout the year. One of our favorite Fall items is the Maple Marshmallows. I was skeptical at first but when Britt and I bought some last year, we were pleasantly surprised. And then my first thought […]
Lottie’s Journey with Osteosarcoma
For the TLDR version, skip to the bottom! As many of you may know, my dogs are like my kids. I am obsessed with them and will do almost anything for them. My last dog, Olive, had many medical challenges, including going through cancer twice. Once with surgical removal with clear margins and once with […]
Ted Lasso Biscuits: A thoroughly enjoyable treat
Once in a while a TV show comes along that is perfect. Just the right amount of funny, drama, and wonderfully created characters. One such perfect show is AppleTV’s Ted Lasso, with characters like Ted, Roy, Keeley and Rebecca who are all so different and yet so lovable. Ted’s kindness flows from the beginning and […]
What to do with family heirloom jewelry?
In August 2023 my paternal grandmother passed away unexpectedly. She was a bit of a spitfire and she had opinions on everything. You might not have known it from her everyday attire, but the woman LOVED jewelry. And she didn’t discriminate; she liked costume and real and everything in between. She also never really got […]

Shrewsbury Cakes: A scrumptious treat!
I discovered this wonderful little treat last year when I was in Europe (which you can read about here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). We happened to have some spare time one morning in Shropshire, so we took a quick cab ride over to Attingham Park. On our tour of the house, we stopped […]
A European adventure: Part 3 London
If you haven’t read parts 1 and 2 yet, they cover how we got on this adventure, Paris and our Narrowboat trip. After arriving in London, we headed to our hotel, The Clermont. The Clermont is just off of Trafalgar Square, so after getting settled we headed out to find somewhere for dinner. We found […]
A European Adventure: Part 2 The Narrowboat
If you didn’t see part 1, that talks mostly about Paris and how we ended up on this adventure. You can check it out here. After 4 days in Paris, we took the train back to England. We took the 7:43 train and thankfully there was a Paul’s Bakery in the train station. Paul’s is […]
