Nestled in the heart of Calgary, Canada, The Dorian Hotel stands as a more than just a place to lay your head; it’s become a culinary beacon in this emerging fine dining community, encapsulating three distinct dining experiences: The Wilde on 27, Prologue Café, and Bistro Nouvelle. At the helm of all three restaurants is […]

A new wave of inspiration always comes to be during a seasonal change. New products flood in to all of my favorite shops and I love to start perusing to see what I may want to add to my collection. Indoor entertaining starts to pick up around our house during the fall as the weather […]

Right before we went into lock down mode in Wyoming, I was lucky enough to meet and spend some time with Lezly Delgado, of Bonita Beauty. I helped her with some brand photography by “modeling” (haha) and got an education on skin care. Shortly after that day, social distancing went into full force and I […]

There is something about Halloween that is refreshing to me as a stylist. Working with bold colors to create moody vibes is exciting after styling for the spring and summer months. My sister (The Farmhouse Story) and I share the same excitement for this time of year. So we decided to collaborate to create this […]

Something amazing happened yesterday afternoon. Eric and I became an aunt and uncle for the first time! We are thrilled about the little addition and so thankful everyone is happy and healthy. My husband is also excited to have another male in his life – he is surrounded by girls. In honor of the arrival, […]

There is nothing I enjoy more than creating with my daughter. She has become my right hand when it comes to cooking, coloring, and crafting. I remember when I was growing up, my mom would always tell me that the best gifts my sister and I could give her were the ones we made ourselves. […]

It’s week four of our family making the clean eating transition, and for the most part, it’s gone well! We’re still not eating completely clean. Lunches can be hard for me if we don’t have left overs from the night before. That’s where I’m lazy. If Eric and I don’t pack breakfast to go the […]

One of the most common complaints I hear about the clean eating lifestyle is the amount of time it takes to meal prep. Why prep in advance? Because it is the key to success – especially if your day-to-day is anything like ours. Eric and I both work full time, have extracurricular commitments, toddler dance class, […]

Because breastfeeding is such a journey for all mothers, I so enjoy reading/hearing experiences from other women. It’s some of the best advice and tips I got while taking it on with Lydia, and I continue to learn as I enter the fifth month of nursing Eva. In an earlier post, I shared the first […]

These amazing photos were all taken by the wonderful Smiling Eyes Photography One of my absolute favorite parts of being a blogger this past year has been getting to know new talent. I have so enjoyed collaborating with other bloggers, photographers and stylists. Especially when they are right here in my rural home town. This […]

Oh November. Dare I say it’s the most wonderful time of the year? I know I know, that talk is ridiculous, but I honestly love it almost as much as December. It’s that warm and cozy month when our family can’t wait to get together, exchange recipes and enjoy copious amounts of wine. I love […]

For me, October marks the beginning of the most festive time of year. So many reasons to meet with friends and family to clink glasses during the last three months of the year. For Halloween, I try to creative ways to bring spooky touches around the house and into recipes that reflect my style. Typically […]

I think most of us have officially made the transition from summer to fall. The PSL is back in full force, there are booties online everywhere […]

A couple of days before the big event, I did experience a couple of strong contractions. Ones that were strong enough that I grabbed Eric’s arm while they happened. But once the one contraction was over, I wouldn’t experience another for an entire day or more. I carried on my days as usual – full […]

So many things are happening…including baby Perez #2 making some moves towards an appearance. We are so much closer to being prepared as well, so stress levels have gone down! Hope you all are well […]

It’s starting to feel pretty real for Eric and I. We cannot believe how quickly this second pregnancy has gone by. Having a toddler definitely helps pass the time! I am currently a little over 33 weeks. Lydia came 10 days early, and I am predicting that this little girl will arrive in the same […]

Hey guys! Things have definitely heated up in Wyoming and it has put me in full on shopping mode for cooler clothing. I only have about two months left according to my due date so it seems like a waste to buy summer maternity clothing. So, I have purchased some non-maternity shorts that pull on […]

This baby bump update is long overdue! I have been so busy with work-life and home-life that the blog took a back seat the last couple of weeks. I had to travel to Chicago for work for about a week, and those trips are always fast and furious. It was good to get out of […]
