Archer and I here, wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day! This print from Inkopious is great to wear today or any day to show how much you love your doggo (or doggos) 🐶 @inkopious

Obsessed with my new espresso machine ☕️ I haven’t figured out how to make a pretty leaf though- still at the foam blob stage. @selectbrands

Happy Halloween!! 🎃Don’t forget about all of the furry trick-or-treaters out there and make sure you have some natural, delicious Puppington PupSnax on hand! We always enjoy bringing one of our dogs on my son’s trick-or-treat route and they get so excited when they get a treat, too 🐶

So I found this poor little lady (males have a white spot on their head) lying unresponsive on my front porch and I thought I would take the opportunity to take some macro shots of her. After a few clicks, I felt like the images were a little boring and not the best way to celebrate Ms. Bee’s life. This may or may not be one of the top 5 weirdest things I’ve done but it was certainly fun creating a miniature party, complete with “sponge” cake, for a hardworking carpenter bee 🐝🪩

*No animals were harmed in the creation of this image and Ms. Bee has since been laid to rest in the comfort of my backyard

It is said that brown food is the most difficult food to photograph. I decided to go #bold and take on the challenge with one of my favorites (and a classic fall time treat)- s’mores 🍫🔥🪵 During my experience, however, working with brown was the least of my problems. It was the fire that got me. If you are going to try to melt your chocolate in the microwave, do not do it with a dry graham cracker on a dry paper towel on high heat 😉 Also, when roasting your marshmallows with a blowtorch, be sure to have an entire bag handy!

My absolute favorite hike to date was during my most recent trip to Gatlinburg- the Alum Cave Trail on Mount Le Conte ⛰ I highly recommend and hope to return to the top one day🤞🏻

Green smoothies/juices always looked like they be would be gross tasting until I learned that all you need is cucumber and a couple of apples and/or pears- then you can throw in as many greens as you like and not even notice ‘em!! 🥬

I absolutely love antiques. These are a couple of my recent vintage finds, thanks to Vintage and Variety, my new favorite antique store located in Gatlinburg. The cookies are what actually inspired this particular shot because my husband calls these raspberry thumbprints “grandma cookies” ☎️

Practicing with my new macro lens for the #CreateNoMatterWhat macro food photography challenge. I am always in awe of the colors and patterns in nature. Dragon fruit and red cabbage are some of my favorites.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mommas out there!! 💐 
Raising this smart, kind-hearted, funny dude is what I consider to be my #1 achievement in life. I am so proud to be your mom ❤️

My family and I have always loved trying foods from different places and cultures but our covid time inspired us to try many new recipes, one of them being shakshuka. It is my understanding that the dish is North African/Middle Eastern and is traditionally cooked in more of a red sauce. We tried the red, tomato based version and loved it. I then came across a recipe for a green version (which I have pictured here) and had to try it- I can’t decide which I like more!

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 This is the perfect time to be more mindful of and reassess the items that we use on a daily basis and the impact that they have on the environment. Consider switching to reusable spray bottles, natural bar soaps and washable dish cloths such as these adorable doggy @puppington.co cloths- they really help cut back on paper towels!

I call this one Monday Morning Blues even though I am a generally happy morning person and enjoy every day of the week 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wishing everyone a happy Monday without the blues!

Theme of the month: Go Outside! 
I know it’s not as easy to do during the harsh winter cold, but I just finished planning my next hiking trip to Gatlinburg- if you can’t get out now, decide where you want to go next and start getting excited!
I also try to embrace the cold as much as possible- Currently on my way to go snowboarding and hoping to be on my feet longer than on my face 🤞🏻🏂
What are your favorite things to do outside?
And always remember to stay hydrated-especially when it’s cold and you may not feel as thirsty! 
Side note- I just love Indy Brand’s logo!
