Hello? It's meee..

Hiiii! It’s been a couple of years. My bad.. My last post was all about my goals to blog more (Actually, it's still in Draft mode - I never published it!). Then, I got engaged, I won an Instagram trip to meet the Backstreet Boys, I bought a house, I planned my wedding, honeymooned in Greece, Turned 30 and, most recently, I had a baby girl. As you can see from that list, I really didn’t have that many blogging opportunities, LOL! So fast forward to where I am today... We’re in a pandemic, I’m working from home with no plans to return to the office until June, and I’m ready to have some fun with this blog again! My shopping habits haven’t shifted all that much. Every weekend I find something to organize/paint/change in our house and I’ve got a ten month old to dress up, even when I’m not feeling like it! That should be enough fire content to keep you all interested 😉 The world seems a little heavy right now with the pandemic + current events. It’s affecting everyone in different ways. I want this platform to be a fun space – where we can laugh, share advice, fashion, home décor, swap baby/children pics/stories, and so much more. Cheers to a fresh start in 2021! I'm also slightly embarrassed that it’s mid January and we still have our Christmas tree up! In my defense… I ordered ornament storage on Amazon that should have delivered on the 6th… still waiting for that package 😊

Superbowl Sunday

Game day is finally here!! The Broncos are facing off against the Panthers and my whole family and I are rooting for them!

This has been a big weekend for me! My boyfriend's birthday was yesterday so Friday night we celebrated with an amaaaazing dinner at The Pearl. Really, does Cameron Mitchell make a bad dish?? Bonus, The Pearl was celebrating their three year anniversary so we received a promo for a free appetizer on our next visit. Lamb meatball, we shall meet again soon.... 😋

Saturday was another foodie day with lunch at Harvest pizza. It might be the smallest restaurant I've ever been to, but their pizza is To. Die! I ordered the Geary Street which was clams and garlic. Mind. Blown. What a strange combination of pizza but I would highly recommend it if you ever find yourself around German Village. 

I digress...

I took the easy route with my Super Bowl spread. More finger foods than heavy food. I predict that I'll be cheering on my Broncos too loudly to shovel food in my mouth anyway. 

I used Pinterest to find this cracker, summer sausage, cheddar cheese, and ranch combo that is supposed to a football. I sliced the summer sausage and then used a shot glass (of all things) to make mini circles to fit onto the cracker. Same with the cheddar cheese slices. It didn't look exactly like the Pinterest picture, but the effort was there! I poured some ranch into a sandwich bag and snipped a corner to create the laces. The laces later looked like blobs because the ranch ran together. 😒 again, I tried!

I wanted to serve beer from Denver, but couldn't actually find any Denver breweries. I went for Anchor Steam, as its from San Fran and that's where the Super Bowl is being held. It was second best to having a local Denver beer. 

These orange chevron straws add some color to my spread. Not to mention United in Orange is the only way to be tonight! These cookies were from Giant Eagle bakery. They tasted exactly like chocolate donuts! Giant Eagle bakery never disappoints. I shop there for every holiday/occasion! Next up, Valentine's Day...

I can't wait for game time! Good luck to the Broncos!! 

AFC Championship

Hello hello! I'm writing this post during halftime 😬😬 My previous post was reminiscing our ski trip just a couple of weeks ago in CO. Now I'm cheering on my Broncos in Columbus, OH (from the comfort of my couch). The AFC Championship always comes down to the same two teams: Patriots and Broncos. Well, LET'S GO BRONCOS!!!!! 

This game surely snuck up on me, as far as preparing snacks go. I ended up just throwing a pizza in the oven and calling it a day. I figured it was better to focus on a game day outfit rather than game day food (which really only matters when it's a super bowl party!)

This full circle skirt from New York and Company was a favorite of mine this summer and fall. The sunset orange color is the perfect transition piece from the neon summer palette to the jewel tones in the fall. During this time of year,

It help me be United In Orange with the rest of the Broncos fans out there. 

My graphic tee from Junk Food clothing is a high-lo fit that's soft and comfortable. I can wear it with leggings, jeans, or dress it up with this skirt. 

These suede BCBG's have been my second skin for the last two years. They're at the point where they have formed to fit my feet perfectly and I never want to take them off. 

Here's to hoping the Broncos make it to the Super Bowl!! Looking forward to having two weeks to plan outfits and food for the Big Game 🏈👠
