Madison's Kale Citrus Smoothie

Madison’s Kale Citrus Smoothie

  It’s 2pm. I’m halfway through my work day. My microwave has been beeping for the past hour, telling me the coffee that I’ve heated up nearly seven times today is still there waiting for me (.. now cold). It’s almost time to start thinking about what I’ll cook for dinner, and I haven’t even eaten lunch… If any of you are like me, lunch does not come naturally! I find myself taking the easy road…

Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons

I want to share a recipe with you that has quickly become my mom’s & my new favorite treat: Coconut Macaroons. These are perfect for parties, girls nights, you name it! You can whip them up quickly, without sacrificing pretty presentation. Another great plus, you can make a batch to freeze and plop a few onto a plate any time you have company. They’ll think you’ve been slaving for hours!…

Holiday Potpourri

Holidays bring out the cozy in everyone. We decorate Christmas trees, hang stockings, light the fireplace… anything to make our house feel more like “home”.

And hey, it’s much cheaper and authentic than scented candles!     Mix all the ingredients in a crock on the stove. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for…

Baby Dahl’s Nursery – Painting Stripes

We are now over the halfway mark until Baby Dahl arrives into the world, and are in full swing on the nursery! Everything for Baby Dahl’s nursery is picked out, and now it’s execution time. (When this is posted, I’m actually in my 3rd trimester)!   Finished walls… decor still to come   Since we are waiting to be surprised on gender, we’ve thought hard on giving the nursery a fitting look for both…

A Pretty Paper Passion

A Pretty Paper Passion

I’ve always had a passion for pretty things.   When I was five it was ballerina tutus (although I usually wore them on my head, running around roaring like a lion in dance class). When I was in my teen years, it was makeup and curling irons. I still remember my mom taking me to get my first makeover & buying me “big girl” makeup… and her begging me to learn how to curl my hair so I wouldn’t pull…

#tbt to one of the best days. Funny when @hudsonsphoto is your photographer, you keep coming across more photo favorites even a year later. (at Alumni Hall Indiana University Memorial Union)

Ran into one of our favorites. Not only is @hollyaudreywilliams one of the best songwriters & chicest fashion icons around- she's one of the most genuine a girl can meet- which is oh so much more important. #hollywilliams #wishingstellawasinthepic #whitesmercantile
