Mini Flower Lemon Tarts

      Last Sunday, I made these delicious Mini Flower Lemon Tarts.  I originally found the idea on Pinterest but when I couldn’t find the exact ingredients, I had to add lib. This is what I came up with. I use Pillsbury (Pre-Made) Pie Crust and cut out the flower design. I then tucked the flowers into a mini muffin pan, making sure the crust was pushed to the bottom of each tart. Spacing them in every other spot leaving room so the flowers wouldn’t stick together. Then, I whipped together the lemon packet from Krusteaz Lemon Bar box and poured it into the flower tarts. Popping into 350 degrees oven for 8-10 … [Read more...]

Nordstrom’s New Designer

Rachel Parcell launched her NEW clothing + accessory line TODAY at Nordstrom. Her feminine, elegant style is by far one of my favorites. I’m completely in love with the whole collection. I have a couple of events coming up that I’m needing dresses so I picked out this baby blue wrap dress with matching earrings. As well as the lemon yellow with white beaded earrings. I was able to preview the line the day before it officially went on sale and I ordered these two dresses and earrings.     I have followed Rachel Parcell at Pink Peonies for … [Read more...]

Spring Wedges

I bought some expensive wedges last summer and I just loved wearing them. But, I was super excited this year when I found similar wedges for a fraction of the price.

Home & Family

Ok, so I’m not as fancy as I think! But my sweet friend Jenny Keller IS... I met Jenny years ago as I began following her on Instagram. It was when she just launched her new cookbook “EAT MORE DESSERTS” and Jenny also lives in the Pacific Northwest like ME. I live in Oregon and Jenny lives in Seattle. (she is just 3 hrs. north) After following her for awhile she started hosting cookie bake shops and events in the Seattle area. I signed up and attended each and every event I could! She is such a genuinely sweet person, she is soft spoken and the salt of the earth. Jenny has worked with a number of celebrities over the years including … [Read more...]
