Szechuan Tofu with Cauliflower

Hot Damn, I Love Cauliflower

Hot damn, I love cauliflower. It’s a good thing that cauliflower is cheap because I go through it like crazy. If 2015 was the year of kale, 2018 is all about the old time favorite…cauliflower. Once old and forgotten, this giant flower has become cool again. Cauliflower doesn’t need much to be delicious on its […]

Today You Are Seven

Today You Are Seven!

Happy birthday my dearest! I am not able to put into words how much I love you. You’ve had my whole heart from the moment I laid my eyes on you. You are the face that launched a thousand sleepless nights. You are a thinker, posing intricate questions, and remembering small details. I am so […]

The Rules of Motherhood: Moms Don’t Get Sick

Somewhere in the Rules of Motherhood there is a chapter titled Moms Don’t Get Sick. Now, we all know this is far from the truth, even the best of us sometimes can’t fight off all the germs. Being sick is never fun but being sick when you’re a mom is the worst hell imaginable. Not […]

Happy Thanksgiving and 5 Best Leftover Thanksgiving Recipes

Happy Thanksgiving week! As an expat, I have embraced Thanksgiving as one of my favorite American holidays! The focus is on gratitude, great food and wine, not to mention it is socially acceptable to go for seconds, and thirds and leftovers are all the reason for overcooking! To be honest, I still don’t get the […]

Halloween Trick or Treating…for Wine!

October is perfect in every way, but I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. I love that it starts to get colder outside and humid mornings become a thing of a past. What I don’t like is the holiday that everyone seems to love so much: Halloween. Go ahead, gasp in disbelief. […]

First Day of School

First Day of School

“You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!” Dr. Seuss My dearest Kiki…Today you started the new chapter in your life – you started first grade. Today I hugged you fiercely, and somehow found the strength to let go and send you on your way. […]

Happy Mother's Day

Weekend Lookbook-Mother’s Day

Last three weeks have been pure magic. I am running on adrenaline, sugar highs, copious amounts of coffee and rosé. Both Kiki and I celebrated our birthdays and Mother’s Day over and over, and if it was up to us, we would both continue with celebrations. I guess an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. One of […]

Today You Are Six

Today You Are Six!

“On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of golden starlight in your eyes of blue!” – the carpenters  I can’t believe it has been six years since you came into my life. Another year has come and […]

Friday Chat

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a Friday links post and there’s lots of inspiration whirling around in my brain, so I figured it was a good time to share a few that caught my eye this week. After a flurry of the week and life’s events, I am happy to have a […]

Meatless Monday is Here to Stay

I’ve discovered a secret to a stress free week…Meatless Mondays and Meal Planning! With that, meatless Mondays are here to stay! Choosing meat-free meals on Monday is a great way to look and feel better, it kind of goes along with that new week, new beginning theory. I am definitely not a vegetarian (after all, […]

Five Minute Journal

My Five Year Old has a YouTube Channel

This was such a lovely weekend. I’ve been craving a slow, lazy, relaxing weekend, and I finally had one. Sure, a getaway somewhere would have been great, but it’s amazing how much better I felt after just two days  of unplugging and resting at home! I intentionally planned a weekend with lots of quality sleep, mini […]

March Madness

Well, hello March! February definitely flew right by, without so much as a whisper! So cheers to sending February off and welcoming March with lots of motivation and sunshine. I also wanted to say hello before my blog grows cobwebs. I have so many blog topics running through my head, albeit time, priorities… but I miss […]

Hello February

I hope this week is finding you happy, healthy, nourished and caffeinated. Me? A little over caffeinated but feeling pretty good about the week I’ve had and I attribute it to last weekend full of relaxation, good sleep, yummy foods, and an extraordinary Sunday prep. I promise, a blog post of Sunday prep is coming…it’s truly crucial […]

Coparenting

Sugar and Spice…Lessons in Co-Parenting

There is a saying “little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice” and ain’t that the truth. Kiki certainly is all sugar and spice, sweeter than honey, spicier than Carolina pepper. My dear, kind, sweet, gentle, sensitive, smart, caring, loving five year old in a moment of her anger and crankiness (yup […]

Key West in a Bottle

Weekend Notes and Weekly Menu

Someone once told me “say yes to opportunities and adventures!” so I said YES to a weekend away. Kiki’s one Christmas wish was her very own suitcase and she’s being “dying to go on a trip” so on Friday night when I told her to pack up her suitcase, her first question was “where are […]

Congratulations, we have made it through our second week of 2017! January is usually a very long month, but somehow it’s flying by. I am trying to savor Miami Winter as much as I can and not rush through the season, as I will be doing enough rushing once humid and rainy summer is here. This weekend […]
