We went blackberry picking this past weekend, on quite possibly the hottest day of the summer thus far (hello 7.5 months pregnant). Despite the heat, there was a bit of shade, and we had so much fun! I’ve been trying to take the girls to pick each fruit as its available this summer at some […]

Alrighty, I admit it…I’m obsessed with coconut milk popsicles. And popsicles in general. The coconut adds so much flavor and the milk freezes to beautifully. They’re so FUN to make, the kids love helping, and it’s super easy to find delicious flavor combinations that everyone loves. These are my new favorite; I wasn’t sure about […]

We had a slow weekend…prepping for tomorrow’s 4th of July BBQ, stopping by the Purcellville farmer’s market (and loading up on veggies and fresh flowers), visiting a new church, romping about our backyard catching fireflies, and just taking it easy together as a family of 4. We only have 10 more weeks (give or take […]

Our garden is finally producing and we’re harvesting and I love it (little garden update coming next week)! We planted things a bit late this year, but thankfully not too late, and oh how I love having our little garden. I’ve already started a list of things I don’t want to forget to plant for […]

Ahhh, the eggs strike again. This frittata might be the prettiest and yummiest I’ve had in a while. I was so delightfully surprised to see squash blossoms at the farmer’s market a few weeks ago (yes, I’m that behind in sharing content… #notenoughtimeintheday), and snatched them all up! I added them to a few salads, […]

Earlier this week, I helped my friends at Sweet Root Village with a little shoot and flower workshop they were hosting by preparing small bites for their guests. I decided on two “build it yourself” stations: a crostini bar and a yogurt bar! I had so much fun deciding on the menu and making the individual […]

Today’s recipe is just oh-so-yummy. Like, I could bathe in this rhubarb compote. Especially alongside the whipped yogurt. Yes, whipped yogurt. It’s just as good as it sounds (actually, even better). I was paging through Karen Mordechai’s newest cookbook, Simple Fare (which, by the way, you definitely need to buy. It’s absolutely stunning!), and was so intrigued […]

Last weekend we spent our Saturday exploring a beautiful, family owned Organic Valley dairy farm in Jefferson, Maryland, just outside of Frederick. The farm was about 45 minutes from our home, and it was so wonderful learning about cows and milk at an organic, grass-fed farm so close to home! We spent the day going from one activity to […]
