Ahh I finally understand the hype!! I recently purchased my first pair of Madewell jeans during the Black Friday weekend sales. As a mid-sized petite woman, shopping for jeans isn't fun but that changed when I bought my first pair of Madewell jeans! A few weeks in and I'm obsessed with the fit and style!
Read MoreI’m typing this post as we travel up the highway to visit family and Darrell just asked (not knowing what I’m typing about) “What would you think if you woke up and realized everything that had happened in 2020 was just a dream? A long, crazy dream?” Wow. I’m really not sure. That’s a lot to unpack. We agreed we’d be extremely confused, haha. But seriously, I’m pretty sure a lot of us had a year that seems surreal in many ways. It is easy to get caught up in what would’ve / could’ve / should’ve been and I’d be lying if I said I haven’t struggled with those thoughts this year.
Read MoreHappy almost Thanksgiving!!

Read MorePUMPKIN PIE!!! Holiday season = pie season. It’s as simple as that! I just couldn’t hold out until Thanksgiving and had to whip up a pie yesterday!! The ultimate holiday duo, Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin and Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk, make this pie fool proof! I used Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie recipe, and swapped out normal pie crust for a gluten free crust from Trader Joe’s to make this favorite dessert gluten-free and food-allergy friendly for our household! And it’s just as good as the “real thing” in my opinion!!
Read MoreI opened an Etsy shop!!! If you follow along on Instagram, you know last week I teased about some of the “projects” in the works for my husband and I. This week I shared the news about one of those projects - my Etsy shop and brand Grace & Grandeur! If you love bows as much as I do, you should check it out!

Read MoreWe got an air fryer!!! My father-in-law sent us our Christmas present early and we are so grateful! We use it almost daily! One of our new favorites for the air fryer is this “skillet” type of meal (all in one… kinda…). It’s great for nights when we are pressed for time and it’s a meal you can prep in advance if you wanted!
Read MoreThis year was the first time since college when I served as an Election Day poll worker. It’s an experience I encourage every American to do at least once. Not only does it provide immense gratitude and pride to live in this great nation but it is amazing to be a part of the process and learn what all takes place to carry out democracy at it’s very essence. Here are my reflections on serving as a poll worker in the 2020 election.

Read MoreThree Trader Joe’s highlights in one week?? I know it’s a lot but they have so many delicious products this time of year!! Last weekend was super busy and I spent the majority of that Sunday on the road so I was exhausted when I made it home and decided to delay the final Soup Sunday in the series by one week. So we’re wrapping up today with a pre-made soup that I love - Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bisque. If you saw my Stories recap about the Trader Joe’s fall haul earlier in the season, you’ll know that this is one of my absolute favorites - I bought 3 jars haha! I topped it with a little grana padano and parsley. The perfect fall lunch - just heat and eat.
