From the Garden: Lavender Lemonade

May 26, 2022
With temperatures in the south creeping up into the 80s, I find myself reaching for a cooling drink in the evenings while I relax on the patio. Lavender lemonade is a welcome reprieve from the southern heat, and so easy to whip up.   Tips for Making Lavender Lemonade Use lavender sparingly, and stick with French or English lavender varieties as they won’t be bitter or soapy. You may need to play with the recipe to get the right...

From the Garden: Classic Mint Mojito

May 10, 2022
  This spring, one of my projects was to create a green space on our patio. When I built our little herb garden one afternoon, I began daydreaming of all the garden-to-table meals we could enjoy. Our sweet basil is thriving, lemon thyme and lavender flowering, but our mint leaves are really flourishing. I wanted to incorporate the fragrant leaves, and a classic mint mojito seemed the perfect way to go. One of my favorite summer sips, the classic...

March 2022 Reading List

March 17, 2022
Spring is here in North Carolina! The temperatures have been steadily climbing, and I’ll be living in lightweight, flowy dresses for the next eight months. Now that it’s getting warmer, I’m spending more time outside reading and thought I’d share what’s on my reading list for March.

Whether you’re celebrating with your children or your girlfriends, this Halloween-inspired dessert board is the perfect addition to any gathering. This board cost me under $23 to make, and everything can be found at your local Target store (cheeseboard not included).   I used these clear food prep bowls that I had on hand and layered candies...

Halloween Movie Night

October 5, 2021
  One of our favorite traditions throughout the month of October is snuggling up with yummy snacks, hot cider, and watching scary movies. I watch horror movies year round, as they are one of my favorite genres (especially psychological horror/thrillers!) and this is really the only time of the year I can convince Derrick to sit down and watch them with me. To help usher in the beginning of the spooky season, I’ve rounded up some of the best...
