Let’s face it, summertime is usually when everyone gets their grub on, right? Or am I the only one here? With all the warm weather, constant running around, and loads of time spent outdoors, it’s safe to say I always have my fair share of snacks around the house. Like, I ALWAYS have a snack in my hand in the summertime! Not to mention, the number of picnics, parties, beach days, and barbeques that we …
DIY Polaroid Photo Display
About 2 years ago, Ryan bought me an Instax Mini Camera and since then, I have been in love with it! Whenever we go sightseeing, take a trip somewhere, or even just head to the park for a picnic, I always have this camera with me. Needless to say, I have really accumulated quite a large stack of photos over the past couple of years! Since I’ve had this camera, I’ve tried a few different …
How I Organize My Recipes
If you know me well, you know that I like everything to be as organized as possible. And that includes all of my recipes! I absolutely despise searching through my photos, Pinterest boards, or desk drawers to locate a recipe. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine! Luckily, I recently got this recipe book and it has been totally life changing! Okay… I know it’s a bit dramatic to say that a recipe book has “changed my …
Panera Bread’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup Copycat Recipe
If there’s one thing Ryan and I talk about constantly, it’s how much we miss certain “American” foods. Things like Chipotle bowls, Buffalo sauce, Hershey’s products, and Diner food are all topics of conversation that come up at least once a day in our house. And by “once a day” I really mean like 50 times a day. What can I say…we’re fat kids at heart! Another food item that we found ourselves craving quite often …
Summer Reading List 2018
Hey all! Where did the month of June go? We will never know. I have REALLY enjoyed the summer so far! With all the traveling we’ve done over the past month, it’s safe to say I got my fair share of reading done. Lately, I have gotten so many recommendations on what to read this summer, so I am excited to share my 2018 Summer Reading List with you! I sailed through numbers 1 and …
The Perfect Dessert For The 4th Of July
Well, guys, we are now less than 1 week away from the 4th of July! The 4th has always been one of my all-time favorite holidays. Maybe it’s the fireworks, maybe it’s the never-ending supply of burgers, yummy snacks, and desserts, or maybe it’s the time spent at afternoon barbeques with friends and family. Whatever the reason may be, I have always adored this particular holiday! Since leaving the States, we obviously haven’t been able to celebrate …
Where To Stay If You’re Visiting Cancun, Mexico.
Buenos Días! In case you haven’t heard, Ryan and I spent our (belated) honeymoon in Cancún, Mexico. Ryan spent many months researching, planning, and booking our trip (all by himself, I must add) and it was probably the best vacation I have ever been on! Aside from the fact that it was our honeymoon, the resort we stayed at was an absolute dream! It had everything we could have ever wanted or needed, and it was …
What I Learned In My First Year Of Marriage
Buenos Días! Ryan and I got home from our honeymoon in Mexico this week and we are already missing the beach, sun, and of course, the endless food and drinks we consumed. I think that if someone could have shipped us our dog, we would have NEVER come home. As if entering back into reality isn’t difficult enough, the 7 hour time difference is really kicking our butts! Thank goodness for spellcheck, otherwise, there would …
Honeymoon Packing List
Cheers to the weekend! Ryan and I have been looking forward to this weekend for about a year now. Tomorrow we are leaving for our (very belated) honeymoon! YAY! Cue the clapping and confetti! In case you are new here, Ryan and I got married last June and didn’t have the time to take an extended honeymoon like we wanted to. Ryan was scheduled to start preseason just a few days after the wedding. So, …
What Not To Do At A Wedding
Well, it’s that time of year again, people! Wedding season has officially arrived! Since Ryan and I are home in the States this week, we were lucky enough to be around to attend my cousin’s wedding this past weekend. It was SO great to be there and spend time with our entire family. After all, how often do you get to see your whole family in one place? It’s a pretty special time if you …
