This post was created in partnership with Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™. I received complimentary products and compensation to facilitate my review, but all opinions within are my own. Sigh. I've been in a real meal rut the last few months. I used to open the pantry and see many recipe ideas and lately I just see a bunch of random ingredients. Part of it is certainly how crazy life is... sometimes I find when I'm treading water to keep up on work/life that my creativity is just zapped. And of course, it also leaves less time for creative recipe exploration in the kitchen. The majority of our dinners have been chicken or eggs. The preparation and Continue Reading
Laundry Room Update with Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. When looking for ideas on how to transform my small laundry room, I couldn’t help but me amused by the range of sizes that can be perceived as “small”. In comparison we’ll call my laundry room “mini”. It’s just wide enough to fit the washer and dryer. So yeah, it’s a mini.

I created my Metallic Rope Throw Basket in partnership with DecoArt. As always, all opinions and ideas are 100% my own. Reason #642 that I love fall is cuddling up in cozy throw blankets. We really love throw blankets around here. So much so that if you walked into our living room, you might think that there was a herd of kids hiding somewhere underneath what would appear to be a collapsed fort of throw blankets on the couch. Nope, no kids under there... it's just a menagerie of throws. I try Continue Reading
Let’s Do Brunch!
Hi there! Anyone else with me when I say brunch is my JAM!!!? If every meal could be brunch, I would be totally ok with that. I lived in Chicago for awhile and brunch was HUGE there! Every weekend my friends Lindsay, Stephanie and I would go to brunch, catch up and gossip à la Sex and the City (at least that's how we liked to think of it ;) ). When I moved back to Columbus, I was happy to see that Brunch was gaining momentum and has continued to expand since. In addition to hitting the local neighborhood brunch spots, I've also enjoyed trying new brunch recipes at home. With Mother's Day and Father's Day just around the corner, I wanted to share some fabulous brunch recipes with you. Continue Reading
