Celebrating Jack’s 7th Birthday

This blog post is in partnership with BISSELL. We love a good party around here and never hesitate to celebrate! It’s hard to believe, but our sweet dog Jack turned 7 (!!) in November.

I have quite the collection of extra party supplies, so I dug out the pup-themed supplies from Lucy and Winnie’s joint birthday puppy party for our tea party celebrating Jack! We brought out the puppy stuffies to join in on the fun, enjoyed a little snack plate and some ‘tea’ (apple juice), went […]

Trader Joe’s Cheese Plate

I recently made a cheese plate for Friendsgiving and was so pleased with how it turned out!  I  bought everything from Trader Joe’s — which is definitely my go-to for the best cheese plate supplies!

Then I added two types of crackers (fig and olive crisps + gluten-free savory thin crackers) plus fig butter, salami, prosciutto, cotton candy grapes, blackberries, dried apricots, candied walnuts, and marcona rosemary almonds. I topped it with some rosemary sprigs for some extra color and viola – an easy-ish, affordable cheese […]

6 Amazing Alpine Playgrounds in the Swiss Alps

I  wanted to share some of our favorite playgrounds that we visited during our trip to Switzerland!
