No matter how crazy or busy life gets there a few things that always bring me back to my zen. Things like a hot cup of coffee, I kid, luke warm - I am still a mom or baking some goodies for my family with my favorite little "Linguine." Once a month I try to bring it home and create these moments in hopes that my littles with be great chefs and find the same joy in cooking!

I learned a very valuable lesson about throwing an Ugly Sweater/Pajama Jam Party in the middle of December in Florida - it will probably be too hot. While a few did adhere to the pajama part, I was the only one to don an "ugly" sweater, I did not find it that ugly though! Next year I will have some stock cut-off sweaters and vests for my friends. I loved pouring mimosas with some good people and cutting out sugar cookies..

For real, thank goodness for handy-husbands because mine has quite the honey do list! There are glimmers of hope though. Like finding the perfect 1950's style green chair..

Thanksgiving and the Holidays tend to bring out the best in people. I am so full of love. I am full of food. I am full of gratitude.

I want to share my love of being in the kitchen. I love our kitchen. It is the heart of our home. It is where I create the meals that brings us all together every evening around the dinner table. I love to play and get messy in the kitchen...

Measure, crack, whisk, bake. These are the sounds my kitchen hears often. Our kitchen is for dancing, and cooking but with a lot of dancing. There is no better feeling then dancing around the kitchen, barefoot and making food magic because let's get real - cooking is magic! From the sounds of eggs cracking to the precise measurements in baking there is something special that happens in the kitchen...

Well, our house is officially our home! Move in day has come and gone but the renovation process will continue seemingly forever, but we love it!

Where does the time go?! It is amazing to me that our little dumpling, Millie Kate, has been on this planet gracing us with smiles and dirty diapers for six, whole months! She has been such a joy and a trooper.

As of late my life has consisted of taking care two tiny humans, photographing beautiful and meaningful marriages, and renovating a 1950's house. Since I share so much of my tiny Saffran's and my wonderful PSJ Couples I am going to start sharing more of my house renovation into our home! This has been a few months long endeavor and I cannot wait to finish a few big things on the list: Master Bathroom, Kitchen and Floors. Along with all the little details...
