Oreo Trifle
Okay, I’m not going to sit here and pretend I’m an amazing chef. I’m not. I can cook a couple of things moderately well – and sometimes I’ll make something outstanding but almost never be able to repeat it. But I’m working on it! In the meantime, I’ve done my best to nail a few […]
Thanksgiving Planning
As I mentioned in last week’s post, this year my husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time ever, ahhh! When we completed our not-so-hostile takeover of the holiday it seemed like a good idea, but I obviously didn’t realize I’d be nearly seven (!!) months pregnant (although I did hope I would […]
The Holiday Divide
I’m going to be blunt: Holidays have always been a bit of a pain for my husband and I. Why? Because we both want to spend the holidays with each other and we also both want to see our families – BOTH of our families. We have never split up for the holidays, even when […]

Cocktail Hour | Mocktail Spiked Cider
As you may or may not know, I’m not a huge drinker (I just love playing hostess!), and since I’m pregnant that means I haven’t had one sip of alcohol since the end of May (yep, celebrated my #dirty30 completely sober… while on vacation. Mostly I just napped a lot.). But that doesn’t mean that I […]
We Moved… Again!
If the blog title is throwing you for a loop, you aren’t imagining things. Yes – we did move recently. And yes, we did it again. (Even though Chuck and I both swore up and down that we would never move ever again because it’s the worst thing ever.) That’s actually part of why this blog […]
Cocktail Hour | Rio Edition
It’s Friday, which means one thing here at The Blogtini – Cocktail Hour! During the last Olympics my husband and I hosted a “Beer Olympics” during the Opening Ceremony that ended up just being a group of people sitting around drinking and heckling the TV. This time around we’ve decided to be a little bit […]
Cocktail Hour | Birthday Prosecco Cocktail
I can’t believe what I’m about to type – tomorrow, June 4, is my 29th birthday. TWENTY-NINE! There is honestly a part of me that still thinks I’m 22 (and I absolutely still feel 22… until I try to do something a 22 year old would do), so the fact that I am about to […]
An Inspired Week #4 | Spring Has Sprung
Well it’s finally happened … Spring has arrived in New England. It certainly took its sweet time getting here. After a winter that hardly existed, Mother Nature played coy for a while, giving us unseasonably cold days and lots of rain (seriously, yesterday evening was the first time the sun came out for over a […]
