My weight has been fluctuating and this dress is perfect for the ups and downs of my waistline. Chambray
Cream City Cool Cream City is a nickname for Milwaukee. My first assumption was that this name had to be referring to all the dairy farming here in Wisconsin. But it is actually referring to the cream colored buildings! Cream City brick was made from a clay found in the Milwaukee area and used in
~Dresser Makeover~ The first piece of furniture that I fell in love with, the first piece that was officially mine, and still, one of my absolute favorite pieces of furniture, is my childhood dresser!

Dinnertime! Fast, tasty, organic AND vegetarian? Yes, it can be done! One of my go-to favorite soups, plus some extra veggies, spice and rice… And dinner is done.

Cooking for your bf/gf for this first time? Your in-laws? Hosting a dinner party? Beginner chef? Or maybe you just need a new recipe to spice up your night… Try this rosemary lemon chicken! I have to admit that this is, hands down, my go-to, no-fail, people-pleasing recipe! Unless they may be vegetarian, this dinner
~Lauren Exploring~ Oh my gorgeousness! Image above not even edited. I think the grass really was greener and the sky bluer in the countryside of Ireland!!! Before we got engaged, bought a house, moved, and started planning a wedding… My husband and I did a fair amount of traveling. And before I was blogging, I still
~Living Room Love~ I couldn’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting a matching pair of sofas facing each other in my living room. Maybe since early childhood, when I saw a pair in the front room of my mom’s cousin’s house… I think hers were a pastel blue. But I remember always behaving in
