For the belated 2025 Throwback Tuesday kickoff I’m picking a remix that I only recently discovered and have been playing on repeat since: the Mr. Dupri Mix of Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby. If you don’t know the story behind the recording of this look it up. Hint: It’s a Whopper!

We’re closing out 2024 with a song that always puts a smile on my face - *NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays”. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

For my Xmas Eve Throwback Tuesday I’m going sentimental with “Taking You Home” by Don Henley. This song takes on a whole different meaning when you become a parent. Eternally grateful for our bundle of joy!

For my first Throwback Tuesday I’ve got to go with the G-Funk classic “Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg. West Coast represent!

It was a productive day: (1) cleaned up my overgrown front yard, (2) made a roasted braised duck for dinner, and (3) prepped a lasagna for the freezer. I think I deserve a gold star!

Most weekends go like this - Saturday is my carefree day off to enjoy, relax, and recover from the work week; Sunday is when I work on all those things I neglected during the past week like laundry, cleaning, and meal prep for the week.

🌱 With the fruits of the summer CSA in the rearview mirror and winter quickly approaching I was thinking about planting some microgreens indoors. Any helpful tips for a beginner?

After two days of unseasonably cool damp weather the sun made its return just in time to close out the holiday weekend! Spent the afternoon with my sweetheart at the park playing Skip-Bo on a picnic blanket. The simple pleasures in life! 🥰

Decided to change things up for the usual Memorial Day BBQ and made this to go with a juicy burger and crispy fries. Delicious - going to be making this again!

It’s Saturday my favorite day of the week! There’s something uplifting and rejuvenating about leaving behind the burdens of the past work week and spending time nourishing the soul, whether it’s cooking up a nutritious meal or being in the moment with loved ones.
