Holiday Eats 2020

Like many things for a lot of people this year the holidays looked a bit different. Under normal circumstances we spend the holidays celebrating and enjoying time with our extended families. With everything going on with Covid-19 and the cases worsening across the tri-state area, we decided it was best for our families to spend the holidays alone this year. While we missed the holiday experience we looked forward to all year (like so many others we clung to the hope that covid would resolve before the holiday season) we were not going to miss the opportunity to prepare a feast for two! Want to see what we made?

December Recap - Holiday Season!

Now that we are firmly into that awkward period between Christmas and New Year I thought it would be a good time to do a quick December update with a few things that happened over the last month.

A Corgi Christmas Cross Stitch Stocking

Years ago I made my husband and I cross stitch stockings to hang in our first house after we we married. Now that we have added Bella our corgi puppy to the mix I wanted to make her a stocking too -- yes, I'm that dog mom. But I didn't think a standard stocking shape made sense since she doesn't have feet and I definitely did not want to undertake the time commitment it takes to complete actual stockings. So I set out to design my own!

Weekend Recap: Lobster Rolls & Leaves

Happy Halloween 2020: COVID Style

Baked Zucchini Fries

Wimpy Burgers, Surgery, and voting!

It's been too long since I did a recap. The problem is with covid-19 and everything we're not really doing anything overly worthwhile and I think a weekly recap would be so boring to read since it's just wake up, work, lunch, work, watch TV, sleep. I'm trying to figure out what to write about during these times since really I feel like we're living one big Monday over and over again. We took a road trip out to my college town for a little nostalgia--dinner at our favorite college restaurant. They make "wimpy burgers" (mini burgers) and the best "rhino fires" (cheese fries with bacon and ranch). Obviously it's not the healthiest option but everything in moderation right?

Get to Know Me: 50 Questions!

Let's get to know each other. It's been awhile since I've sat down and do a post to share some random information about myself and I want you to feel like you know me when you visit this blog--like I'm your random internet friend. Lol. So let's see what these questions have in store...

Coexist with the chaos.

I'm so glad today is Wednesday because it means tomorrow is Thursday and then we're basically onto the weekend! It has been such a chaotic week so far and I am looking forward to the brief break the weekend brings. I have some bigggg plans to clean our house this weekend, lol. I like to do a "deep clean" twice a year when the weather changes (can you believe how dirty trim gets??) and as we enter into the fall season I figure it's a good time to clean things up.

Anyway today was another busy day of working from home. I had an early conference call to discuss strategy with one of my clients. Luckily we were on the same page and the call went quickly. After the call wrapped up I made some breakfast.

Tie Dye Day & Hanging with My Sister

 
This weekend I went over my sister's house (she just redid their family room and it looks so good!) and we had plans to tie dye since the weather was nice and it was a perfect day to be outside, catch up, and hang out.
