While food photography isn’t my forte, I just had to share what I made for dinner recently! I was planning to make stuffed peppers one night and decided to have a little fun with them. I chose orange peppers instead of the red I normally go with, and I “carved” a little face into each. They were a huge hit with my toddler! (Though she deemed hers “too cute to eat”...) What I put in them: hamburger (1 lb)1 zucchini, sliced1 summer squash, sliced Pasta sauce (1 cup)2 cups jasmine …

What I’m Wearing for Christmas
It's Christmas week! Each year I find myself wanting to dress up, but I always lean toward comfy clothes. When I saw this black sweater dress, it looked like the best dressed up/dressed down option for the holidays, for parties, and even for work days.

It shouldn't be any surprise, then, that these are (among many other things haha!) the... 5 Things I Always Have at Home Pedialyte or Gatorade in small packets.

Our Christmas Cards
Now that the last of the Christmas cards are in the mail, I can share both sides of our Christmas card this year! I posted a sneak peek on Instagram a few weeks ago. We took these photos when we went to Nantucket this fall. I just LOVE them. Over the summer we tried to get a family photo when we went to Cape Cod one of the weeks, but Sprout just would not cooperate. (To be fair, we were on a beach and he was LOVING running in and out of the ocean. He had zero plans to sit still for a …
