$141 ~~$179~~

bissell little green portable carpet cleaner

i never thought i’d use this as much as i do, but it really does work well on all things upholstery!!! so much cheaper than a professional cleaning!

$82 ~~$124~~

the best toy you can spend your money on imo! arlo still loves them after all these years and these colors are soooo superior to the normal ones.

$18 ~~$30~~

$40 ~~$50~~

i started using tula products and love them! this face wash smelled kinda soapy to me at first but now that i’m used to it it just feels so nice and light and clean and great for sensitive skin.

$38 ~~$54~~

i think i got this last prime day and i love it. i googled many times if it was worth the hype and the consensus was yes — and i love it! it feels so smooth and light and makes my face look brighter.

$60 ~~$85~~

aloh hand wipes (3-pack)

i always have a pack in my bag, someone always has grubby hands and they are a godsend! they also smell super nice and fresh without being santiziery.

$12 ~~$15~~

recipes

creamy dreamy key lime pie

key lime pie is one of my all time favorite desserts– and also i love that you can’t really mess it up, no matter what it always tastes good!

i’ve made the simple version with the bottle recipe and a store bought graham cracker crust many times, but i love how much richer and crustier making from scratch is! (plus it’s still so easy!) i’ve also made with fresh key limes and with the bottle and tbh the bottle is MUCH less time consuming so i way prefer it and don’t taste a huge difference.

not to mention the last time i made key lime pie with actual key limes, we squeezed like 30 of them and then i got a margarita burn at the playground haha.

recipes

herby grilled chicken

this is one of my all time favorite things to grill and i copied the recipe from megan martinez‘s instagram food highlights so i thought it would be helpful to have it written out! (and because everyone asks on instagram when i post it!)

it’s a perfectly simple one bowl dinner entree, ideal for summer weeknights. you know i love my simple weeknight chicken recipes!!

you can use whatever herbs you like, i always just use whatever we have growing and mix it together. the medley always tastes good. i’ve also done it with skinless chicken breasts and with boneless skinless chicken thighs, both are great. but our family loves a chicken thigh so i usually opt for them.

herby grilled chicken

this one bowl grilled chicken dish is my go-to – it's so simpe to make and both kids love, it always slaps!!!

you can use whatever herbs you want, it'll be good no matter what!

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

boneless skinless chicken you can use thighs or breasts
extra virgin olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
coarse salt + fresh ground pepper

Fresh Herbs

italian flat leaf parsley
parsley
mint
sage
tarragon
thyme
rosemary
cilantro

Instructions

chop up all your fresh herbs. i use pretty much everything we have growing, i love the medley of everything mixed together, so use whatever you like!
in a large bowl, mix your chicken with the herbs – i like them heavily coated, so you can always add more herbs if you need to.
add olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and lemon zest into the bowl and mix well.
grill on one side until golden brown, flip and cook until internal temp reaches 165℉

Notes

i didn’t include exact measurements because you can just eyeball how much of everything to use depending on the amount of chicken you use!

(i’ve made this with only a small package of thighs and the kids basically ate it all and we went hungry, so i make more these days lol)

if you want to make a big batch while you go through the trouble of grilling, the leftovers would also make for great lunches over a salad or grain!

btw megan has always been one of my favorites to follow – i love her style, her recipes and her annual vacations to the cape!

pretty everything, roundup

beautiful bar and counter stools

still trying to decide which counter stools to put in our new kitchen, but i love all of these

recipes

cucumber and yogurt crostinis

it’s basically tzakaki on bread, but these are sooo good. my FIL has been making them every summer for years and i always look forward to it, so i realized i could start doing it myself!

it’s a super simple recipe, perfect for chill summer dinners or entertaining –but i promise it will impress all of them! my stepdad was over the other day and shocked how good they are.

cucumber and yogurt crostinis

basically tzakaki on bread! perfect for chill summer dinners or entertaining but still impressive and tasty

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

baguette
olive oil
1-2 large cucumbers or a handful of english cucumbers
full fat greek yogurt
coarse sea salt
fresh dill

Instructions

finely dice up cucumbers and let sit in a bowl till you’re ready to serve.
slice a baguette and brush olive oil top before grilling, toasting, pan frying or baking the bread. totally up to you how you want to crisp up your toasties, i’ve been using my balmuda.
once your bread is golden brown and you’re ready to serve, mix the cucumbers with greek yogurt. start with about 2-3 heaping tb and add as you like it. you want it to be creamy but not dripping with yogurt.
sprinkle your sea salt and some sprigs of fresh dill on top and serve!
