BEFORE & AFTER: a wallpaper makeover

GOOD EATS: fried Bick’s pickle burger + pickle fries
When you think of summer food, what comes to mind? I know for me a big juicy burger is at top of the list. Picnics, BBQ’s, festivals, a weekend trip to Home Depot – there is no bad time for a burger. Am I right, or am I right? When Bick’s asked me if I…

Drool much? Well you will be by the end of this post. I recently found out about the Philadelphia Cheesecake of the Year contest and thought it would be a great reason to try baking a cheesecake. For the first time ever. Yikes! Well I think this photo kinda gives it away but all went…

Until someone comes up with a better term I’m going to go ahead and say Happy Hump Day people! I know it’s wrong to be so excited about a Wednesday but it’s a sunny, perfect temperature day, I’m staring out of a window full of lilac trees and I’m listening to the uber talented Sam…

GOOD EATS: healthy green smoothie
Ok folks, time for some healthy living talk. I would like to say that I try to live a healthy lifestyle but in all honesty, I can’t say that’s been true recently. I mean I don’t have completely horrible habits but it’s been an adjustment for someone who works from home and hates routine. A…

Have you spotted the woven wall art trend yet? Wall hangings in general are really popular right now, from macrame to textiles etc. I love them all but I’m especially in love with the woven pieces. It’s a modern throwback to the 70’s. It’s so funny because I can totally remember seeing similar pieces hanging…
