My baby sister sent me a halloween package that included a mummy-cupcake kit! They turned out SUPER cute! So cute, that we made a double batch (the box made 12, and we bought extra ingredients and made even MORE!) so that we can send some to my work and some to the dessert contest at…
Where has the last month gone?
Well, it’s been busy! Last post, I was in Kentucky visiting my little sister for family weekend! She is already a rockstar in her program and I am super proud of her! I came home on a Thursday, and on Friday, we left for a birthday camping trip for my hubby. We had 20 people…
Brut Risotto, with seasoned chicken
This week, I am visiting my sister, Alysha, in Lexington. She loves mushrooms and my “cheesy rice” (which is her affectionate term for my risottos.) So I invented a new one for her! I am going to tell you guys how I made this, but I wanted to add a few notes. First, halfway through,…
MoBar: Passed!
Well, friends. I have passed the Missouri bar! I feel like I need to check and recheck the website to really believe it! I am so excited! I can finally clear out my old books and move on with my life!!! I can be an attorney and practice law. WOW! I don’t really have words…
What a HOOT! Owl-themed baby shower crafts and ideas!
Since I’m baby-shower-blogging this week, I thought I’d do a post about the baby shower I organized and co-threw with a few of the mama’s friends and family members earlier this year. For Kendra’s baby shower last April, we went with an owl theme. The gender of her baby was a surprise (she ended up…

Today, my dear friend Nancy and I co-hosted a baby shower for our friend Laurel. The theme was Sugar and Spice to celebrate Laurel’s baby girl, due in November. We put a lot of heart and crafts into this shower, so I wanted to share some of our decorations, food, and ideas! Each seat had…
Kalbi, Warm Fennel Salad, and Rootbeer Risotto
For dinner tonight, I made kalbi, warm fennel salad and a root beer risotto. For the kalbi, I used a recipe from Food Network which you can find here. In case you aren’t familiar with kalbi (or galbi), it is a korean barbecued short rib. To really do this right, you would purchase korean cut…
Travel Updates
I have been having a BLAST traveling as much as I have! So my last post came from Lexington, KY, where I was visiting the baby sister. Then I came home to STL for a week, and Jonathan’s little brother was visiting us. We had a blast spending time with him! He was super helpful…
I had the best days, with you :)
First, the song that’s been in my head as I’ve been thinking of the last ten-ish days… The song is about her mom, but it’s a super cute song about her childhood, and she keeps repeating “I had the best days, with you.” I love it and I want to use it for a project…
Fall TV Spoilers, Anticipation, Premier Dates, etc!
Guys, it’s August. It’s August and I’m unemployed and a little transient and a little lost right now. So, it’s a perfect time to catch up on TV gossip, spoilers, and rumors for the fall! Since I have no summer reading I’m frantically trying to squeeze in, here are some of the things I’ve gleaned…
