On the Move

home sweet home key

Guess what? We have moved. Again. The past two weeks have been very stressful and busy (like on a whole new level, y’all), but we have made it to the end. We will make one more load from the old apartment today, turn in our keys, and happily close that chapter of our lives. It was good times, but there are better times ahead, I am sure of it. Below are some snapshots from our moving experience. Expect to see {Read More}

Confessions of a Perfectionist

Let Whatever You Do Today Be Enough | Collage by http://madebynicole.blogspot.com

April has been a doozy, pretty much. I completed my first month at Suddenlink, have been striving to keep our home life in order amidst all the change, and just last week we found out that circumstances beyond our control are forcing us to move out of our apartment in just two weeks time (we thought we had until the end of July). It’s been a whirlwind, let me tell ya. The end result will be great, and we are {Read More}

10 thoughts from Susannah Conway’s book, “This I Know”

Last month I finished Susannah Conway’s book, This I Know. It was chock-full of awakenings, beautiful imagery, and a-ha moments. I love books like that. I love that feeling when reading something so honest, and having a quiet moment where I just think, “Yes. That’s how I feel, put exactly into words.” I’ve written about Susannah a couple times before–check out these posts: Live & Love This Moment / A Letter From My 28-year-old Self I encourage you to learn {Read More}

Cheesy Garlic Roll Ups

poor-mans-garlic-bread-9

If you made me choose my favorite kind of food, I would definitely say Italian. Because it combines all my favorite food groups: Cheese. Carbs. Wine. Last week we threw together an easy Hamburger Helper dinner (Italian shells and cheese), and to make it a little bit more fancy, Shelton made his dad’s garlic bread. It had a very interesting twist on it, and was so simple that I just had to share. Need some Italian inspiration? Look no further. {Read More}

Raven Rocking & Rolling

raven-rock-17

Y’all. Life has been so awesome lately. And so busy. So awesome and busy that finding time to tell you about it is like trying to find my black Havaianas at the bottom of my shoe pile in the closet. Translation: hard. Work has been incredible, and has quickly become a top priority (behind sleeping and hanging out with Shelton, of course). << Keep scrolling if you want to forego the life update and look at pictures from our trip to {Read More}

Etsy Love: Card Sellers

My Favorite Etsy Card Sellers | sweetandsavorylife.com

I have a new favorite thing to do. When I flip through my planner and see any upcoming birthdays/happy occasions coming up, I instantly make a note to browse Etsy for a card instead of adding it to my on-going shopping list. I love cards, I love brick and mortar stationary shops–as well as the card aisle at Target–but I have only found (and received!) truly unique cards from Etsy sellers. Hey Y’all Postcard — I recently sent these to 5 different bloggers all around {Read More}

Passport Peek

passport-4

One of my goals for April is to get my passport renewed. I have put it off for way too long and Shelton and I have been talking a lot lately about traveling internationally sometime this year or early next… so, it’s time to gather all my documents and pay Uncle Sam a small fortune to get this taken care of. I thought it’d be fun to share my stamps with you–I’m proud of all my adventures. Me, age 16. {Read More}

My very own “Pinterest Fail”

Pinterest Fail | sweetandsavorylife.com

Let’s talk. For a while now I’ve been sick of my iPad case. It serves it’s purpose, but it’s boring. Just leather. Just black. Just blah. So, like any able-bodied crafter, I decided I’d give it a revamp. I saw this iPad cover by Free People and loved the feather print. Perfect opportunity for me to finally make some foam stamps, right? You’ll see. It all started off innocent enough. Prelim pics of the disaster that was about to strike. {Read More}

Breakfast Salad Melts

Breakfast Egg Salad | sweetandsavorylife.com

I’m a big fan of breakfast. Specifically: easy breakfast. When it comes to cooking breakfast, I do manage, but Shelton is most definitely the master of our breakfast domain (read: kitchen) and on a weekend morning it’s not unusual for me to wake up to things like Scratch Biscuits, American French Toast, Banana Stuffed French Toast, perfect pancakes that look like this (drool) or his very famous breakfast tacos. I’m a lucky girl, no doubts. Since I am adjusting to my new {Read More}
