Basic, Never Boring
What we’re thankful for… Hand Blenders This spring, with all of the rain and damp weather, I’ve been making my favorite carrot soup (check out the recipe below) just about every week.

What we’re wearing… All things American Eagle. AE is back in the hands of it’s rightful owners… the 30 somethings who made it popular in the first place. Ok, there’s a catch though, stick to the Aerie collection as a current 30 something. Most of the regular AE stuff is crop tops and items that…

What we’re thankful for… Waterproof mattress protectors… My son was sick this week. He got sick in his bed. We woke up at 3am and had to do the whole clean up routine. He even needed a shower. It was bad. The one saving grace, his waterproof mattress pad. For that, today, I am so…
What we’re reading… Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis I started listening to the newest book from Rachel Hollis, a kind of sequel to Girl, Wash Your Face (read our review here) earlier this week.
