I am the luckiest girl ever! THE coveted Missoni for Target dress was found by ME the other day at our local Target. I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was the only one on the rack, it was my size, and the only thing I can think is that it was returned and I somehow...

Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe :: A Little Pinch of Heaven

Dear Internet: A Letter From Me to You

Hi Internet! It’s been a couple of days since we’ve talked, and there are oh so many things I need to update you on. 1. Everything in my life is somehow pushing me toward France. It all started with the French Dinner Party. Then I read The Vintage Caper which was set in Marseilles and...

Dallas: Glenn’s Birthday

We had such a great time exploring and eating our way through Dallas. Here is what Glenn’s actual birthday looked like. We started the day at the monstrosity of a mall called NorthPark Center. I know it’s not exactly cool, hipster, or PC of us to have spent most of our day at a massive...
