the august tomato sandwich

Back with another “recipe” this week for my absolute favorite summertime lunch. There is truly nothing like an August tomato, only to be outdone by an August tomato sandwich. If you’re not a tomato person, I get it. I never was either. I had always plucked them off the top of my ...

sunday morning musings (020)

I’ve been working on lots of new things for my Etsy store this week and I can’t wait to share them all with you guys! Hoping to have some new stuff listed this week or next. I feel like that’s whats taken up a majority of my time this week, so hopefully I’m able to get it all ...

a lemon drop martini

Ahhh, the perfect lemon drop martini. Something that, when done right, is drinkable to the point of no return. And when done wrong, is seriously just gross. A lemon drop should be very light in color, ice cold and with just a kiss of sweetness. It should not be so sweet that it feels like drinking ...

I can’t believe that I’m about to say this, but I might be almost ready for fall this year? Usually I am absolutely dreading the end of summer, but since this summer has been such fake news, I am ready to give it up and move on in hopes of a better year in 2021. Is anyone else feeling ...

july 2020 things

Hello and Happy August!! I swear this year is going to be over before we know it and that is TERRIFYING. We’ve somehow made it to August you guys, and I have no idea how it happened. July was good! It was chock-full of BBQs and attempts to start a diet. Many, many dips in the pool and lots of ...

sunday morning musings (017)

The heat wave in NY earlier this week was next level. Of course we picked the hottest week of the year to head back to Brooklyn for a bit. And while it was worth it, we definitely paid the price for it in SWEAT. It was unreal and I had to take an ice cold shower every night this week to try and ...
