February 2, 2017 By Lauren

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company. All opinions are mine alone. #ReadyForKickoff #CollectiveBias I love holding mini get-togethers with family and friends. When I have people over for a kickoff or a big game, I like to serve a bunch of appetizers. But my hubby and I and many of our friends are trying to eat healthier, especially since the New Year. I don't want to tempt everyone with food that will break New Year's Resolutions. I love chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, so I came up with a chipotle-flavored appetizer for Continue reading...

12 Months of Goals — February (Painting Kitchen Cabinets)

February 1, 2017 By Lauren

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. This post was sponsored in part by General Finishes, which provided me with the General Finishes Milk Paint for my upcoming kitchen project. Thanks! Last year, I set three goals for myself every month, and it helped me to get a lot done! This year, I've decided to just set one goal each month so I can work on achieving bigger accomplishments. For February, I'd like to focus on updating my kitchen. My oak kitchen looks almost exactly what it looked like when my husband and I moved in more than 14 years ago. I liked the kitchen at the Continue reading...

January 31, 2017 By Lauren

Thank you to Commercial Silk Int’l for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post. All opinions are 100% my own. We are almost halfway through winter! February 2, Ground Hog Day, is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. To celebrate, I added faux greenery to my living room. I got my greenery from Commercialsilk.com. I chose to get a two-pack of faux grass potted in white rectangular wooden planters. I like how the white brightens up the space, and I enjoy seeing some greenery in the middle of winter. Since Continue reading...

Chinese New Year Console Table

January 27, 2017 By Lauren

Thanks to Oriental Trading for sponsoring this post.I received free product in exchange for my honest review. Happy Chinese New Year's Eve! Tomorrow, many people around the world will be celebrating the Chinese New Year. This year, 2017, is the year of the Rooster. Unlike the American New Year, which starts on the first day of January, the Chinese New Year is based on the lunar calendar and the winter solstice, and falls later than the Western New Year. My husband's parents were born in Korea and immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. My husband's mother always Continue reading...

Thanks to Progresso for sponsoring this post. For the New Year, my husband and I have pledged to lead a healthier lifestyle. A lot of that plan includes eating healthier. This year, I'm hoping to add more vegetables to our meals, and my husband is planning to eat a low-carb diet. This new recipe for stuffed peppers that I have found works perfectly for the both of us. Plus, it tastes great! I like to pair these stuffed peppers with Progresso Light Chicken Noodle Soup. I love serving soup in the winter -- soup is so comforting.
