Guys, I finally wrote a blog post on our girl’s weekend in Nashville and it’s officially live! 🎉 After 0 motivation to do anything relatively creative, I finally had a burst of energy this week and even started updating my website (😅🙃🥲) Enjoy!

You can’t buy happiness, but you CAN buy spicy m You can’t buy happiness, but you CAN buy spicy margaritas and that’s pretty damn close 🍹🧂🍍

Last week on date night we went to @teakredbank and LET ME TELL YOU: their pineapple jalapeño margarita is my desert-island drink and it’s been on my mind this whole week 😍 (*hint, hint, @dlopes_nats11 *) And yes: I know that Goose is a vodka 😂

What’s your favorite summer cocktail? 🍹🧉🍺🍸🍻 #margarita
Some scenes from the first weekend of summer ☀️

I am really looking forward to this upcoming season. Not only are we one season away from fall (my fav 🎃), but I really feel like I’m in a bit of a rut lately. But I am SO ready for ice cold beers, lobsters, and beach days 🍻🦞 🏝️ #summer
Thankful for this little boy who made me a mama 💙 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there 🌸☀️✨🌺🌷🪺 #mothersday

Living in New Jersey has its perks. Between the famous Jersey tomatoes and fresh herbs, to the Italian markets and shops with homemade and fresh mozzarella, we’re blessed 🥲🙏🏻❤️😍

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” - Mark Twain 🥃

I can’t stop thinking about our trip to Belle Meade and the bourbon tasting. If you know me, you know that I am a wine drinker. So, when I found myself *loving* the bourbon, the history of the drink, and the overall experience, I was kind of surprised (but certainly not disappointed). I’m glad I could still surprise myself… with myself… 🤠🥃🎶
It’s that time of year again, folks! 🥩🫑🧅🍅

There is nothing better than barbecue in the spring and summer ☀️ It *did* wind up being rainy and chilly out today, but I marinated all this meat and damnit we’re having kabobs tonight! What’s your go-to BBQ meal? 🔥 #barbeque
Happy Halfway to Halloween, ghouls 🖤🧡🖤🧡

I keep saying to people, “Can you believe the holidays are over?” I know I sound insane (as today is the first day of May), but I cannot believe how quickly time’s flying. It makes me sad to see how quickly time is passing by, but hey, I’m not complaining because Halloween is officially six months away! 🎃 I’ll be celebrating tonight with some popcorn, a horror movie, and a big glass of red wine. 🔪🍿🍷🎥 What about you? #halloween

One thing I really enjoy about the spring and summer seasons is the freshness of the menu. Everything is just so bright and lovely, and I love anything with lots of fresh herbs 🌿 What’s your favorite warm-weather dish? #cooking
Happy birthday to my best friend! 💙 Daniel and Happy birthday to my best friend! 💙 Daniel and I are so lucky to have you. (Hey, guess what? I’ve been saving a bottle of @deldottowine just for tonight! 🍷) #birthday #husband
It’s over now, the music of the night! 🎶🎭🕯️

I cannot believe that The Phantom of the Opera is officially off the Broadway stage. Seeing videos of the final performance sends chills down my spine, and I’m left thinking about how much the Phantom has meant to me for years. I was blessed enough to have seen the show one last time before the final curtain, and I’m so thankful for that opportunity. (Thanks, Dan! ❤️) #thephantomoftheopera #broadway
Here’s to the start of the new spring season! 🥂🌸🪺

I am very excited about this new season. It’s been a while since I’ve posted because of how crazy life’s been lately, and this new change is welcomed over here. 💕 #spring

I’m usually not a huge fan of spring and summer, but after this long winter I am ready for warm weather, farmer’s markets, and getting outside more 🌿 Who else is ready for springtime? ☀️ #springtime

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️ I’ve been thinki Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

I’ve been thinking about something lately, and I wonder if anyone ever wonders the same thing. Have you ever read or heard of The Five Love Languages?

It’s a very popular book and concept, so I’m not surprised if you have heard of it. The thing I wonder, though, is if how we *give* love matters. I understand that we all have a primary way of receiving love, but what about giving love? Is that ever appreciated in the same degree? Or studied?

I don’t know. I feel like I cook a lot for those I love. The first thing on my mind for Valentine’s Day (or any other holiday or special occasion, for that matter) is the menu. What about you? 💘 #valentinesday #cooking
