So, it’s no secret that the (never-ending) lockdown and the whole, having a baby thing, has seriously put a damper on our date nights. Gone are the days where we can spontaneously head out for dinner and a movie. And if we want to run out the door to grab dessert together, we have a 20-pound third wheel who will most likely beg for a spoonful of whatever we’re having! Therefore, we have really started …
Hey friends! Since becoming a mom, I have found myself needing the occasional afternoon pick-me-up. Especially on days where our sweet little babe doesn’t feel like napping (haha). As much as I love the classic cup of hot coffee, some days you just need something a little extra, am I right?! Whether you fancy cappuccinos, lattes, or maybe my personal favorite, an Iced Caramel Macchiato, you can never go wrong when it comes to coffee. …
Hello, my friends! I hope you all are doing your best to enjoy some time laying low at home and finding ways to stay productive during this difficult time. We have been doing surprisingly well over here- focusing on nesting for baby and enjoying the last few weeks Ryan and I have together as a family of two. I must admit though…earlier this week I started to sense that Ryan was getting (just a tad) …

However, with the never-ending cold and rainy weather we have been having up here in northern Germany, I still find myself craving warm beverages to curl up with every night! This Homemade Hot Chocolate has become a household staple in …
Happy Hump Day, friends! I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like I have been in the ultimate dinner-rut lately. Ever since we got back from the holidays, I have been struggling to come up with dinner ideas for Ryan and I. Not to mention, at 7 months pregnant, my motivation for slaving away in the kitchen over a hot stove is severely lacking! I have been gravitating towards quick and easy meals …
Alright… I’m not going to lie to you, but let’s just say that this particular snack did not last very long in our house! Since becoming pregnant, I feel like I am starving 24/7 and am constantly on the hunt for a snack that’s easy to grab. Let’s face it, no one has time to prepare or cook an elaborate snack when you’re eating every 2 hours, right?! Haha. Especially if you are trying to …
Happy Weekend, friends! Whether you have a fun Labor Day Picnic planned, or you’re spending this long weekend relaxing at home, I have the perfect recipe for a super quick and easy southern sweet tea! I have to admit, I’m basically a sweet tea-aholic and for me, there is no better beverage than this one on a hot summer day. I was getting pretty tired of buying bottles on bottles of tea at the grocery …
Happy Thursday, friends! If you’re looking for something yummy to whip up for the chilly weekend ahead, I have the perfect recipe for you to try. These homemade meatballs are to die for! I have made these meatballs a few times now and I am finally confident that I have perfected them…and I think Ryan agrees (haha). I love this recipe because it’s something you can prepare early on and then slow-cook for the entire …
Happy November everyone! Can you believe that Halloween is over and we are entering into the holiday season? Yeah…me neither! Anyways, I hope you all had a great Halloween and if one thing’s for sure, I guarantee many of you ate your weight in leftover Reese’s and Kit Kat’s last night. Am I right? In case you’re wondering what to do with all of that leftover candy you have laying around, I have the perfect …
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 …
