  • We had a few friends over to our house this weekend and I made this beautifully festive and super yummy cocktail. I may not be a mixologist, but I love to pretend that I know how to mix up a good drink 😉. If you’re looking for a fun holiday cocktail, this pomegranate and thyme vodka spritzer is super easy to put together, light & bubbly, and oh so delicious. . Link to this pomegranate and thyme spritzer in my bio. Cheers! . #holidayentertaining #holidaycocktails #prairieorganicvodka #pomegranates #spritzer #shareyourtable #theeverygirl #theeverygirlholiday #theeverygirlathome #cocktailsofinstagram #food52
  • Sprucing this old lady up (me and our house 😉) as we’re getting ready to have a few friends over tonight. ________ Can we talk about “entertaining” for a minute? This is one of our first times entertaining in our current rental house. I think subconsciously maybe I’ve hesitated entertaining as much as I normally do because I wasn’t proud of our space(so silly, right?)..... __________ I think entertaining can be intimidating for a lot of us. But when it comes down to it, our friends are coming over to see US, to spend time with US - not to see how beautifully decorated our living rooms are or how organized our playrooms are. They’re coming over to see US. __________ So tonight I’m breaking out the paper plates, ordering pizzas, shoving my kid’s laundry in a corner and opening up my doors. __________ I’m trying to remember that if we only invite people into our homes when they’re feeling “perfect” to us, then we’re not really sharing ALL of who we are. __________ I’d like to think that my home will always be one where my friends and family are welcome - no matter how big or small or how messy or clean my home may be. ___________ Welcoming people into your home is about sharing a piece of yourself and your life.....messy, beautiful, and perfectly imperfect. ________ For all of you opening up your perfectly imperfect homes this holiday season - thank you, keep doing it, and when in doubt order pizza and use paper plates 😉😘 . #intentionalliving #entertainingathome #entertainingwithgrace #holidayentertaining #perfectlyimperfect #createalifeyoulove #shareyourtable #chicagostyle #chicagoblogger #chicagobloggers #theeverymom
  • These cold and dark winter days have me craving all things warm and hearty - which is why I’m crazy about this roasted cauliflower soup. Warm, creamy and oh so satisfying (and did I mention that it’s good for you too 😉). . Link for this roasted cauliflower and chickpea soup recipe in my bio . Hope you’re all cuddling up with something warm on this chilly day ❄️ . #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfood #eatseasonal #veganrecipes #cauliflower #cauliflowersoup #bowlofgoodness #healthyrecipes #shareyourtable #food52 #food52grams #theeverygirlcooks
  • ....and then there are a few of us who are STILL in our jammies (but I’m not naming names 🙈😂). Laziest. Monday. Ever. . #snowdays #lazydays #stillinpajamas #momlife #boymomlife #mommoments #createalifeyoulove #slowlivingforlife #slowisthenewfast #letthembelittle #babiesdontkeep #hannajams #schustagram #theeverymom
  • It’s a snow day here in Chicago, and I’ve got Asher and Lillian in the kitchen making cookies 🍪🙌. I’m trying to bribe them into making my personal favorite - sea salt & dark chocolate olive oil cookies🤗. Because let’s be honest, we all know who’s really eating all these cookies at nap time 😉🤦‍♀️ _________ What’s the weather like where you’re at? Anyone else have a “snow day” today?! ❄️❄️ . Link to these dark chocolate olive oil cookies in my bio! 🍪 . #snowday #kidsinthekitchen #cookwithyourkids #chocolatechipcookies #cookiesofinstagram #cookiebaking #christmascookies #kidswhocook #kidswhobake #bakedwithlove
  • ALL the Thanksgiving feels over here in this house. ________ Last week I went and heard a speaker on the topic of gratitude. Real, authentic gratitude. And it struck such a chord within me. _________ So often we look at all the “good” things in our lives as things to be grateful for....our good health, a happy marriage, our child who made the soccer team or got into the good school. __________ But the REAL work in cultivating a grateful heart is finding the good and the blessings in ALL of it. The good and the bad. The joy and the sorrow. The triumphs and the heartaches. ________ We always have two ways to see our world - as an accident or as a gift. This holiday season I’m challenging myself to see ALL of my world as a gift - and practicing what it means to have true authentic gratitude ✨. ________ Wishing all of you a warm and joyful holiday weekend, embracing ALL of your gifts 💙. . #gratitudechallenge #gratefulheart #gratefullness #intentionalliving #mindfulliving #embracingtheseasons #embracingtheeveryday #choosejoy #createalifeyoulove #motheroffour #seethegood
  • Lillian and I just returned home from a great “girls night” in the city with my mom. It was so fun to spend time together, just us girls - and the perfect way to get us in the holiday spirit ✨ __________ But now that we’re home, I have one thing on my mind - thanksgiving! One of my favorites days of the year. This year, I’m thinking about making this hearty and delicious kale and brussel sprout salad. It’s filled with creamy goat cheese, salty walnuts, sweet juicy pomegranate seeds - all covered with a creamy garlicky dressing. A gorgeous salad for your thanksgiving table (or any day for that matter 😉). ________ Link to this kale and brussel sprout salad in my bio. ________ What about YOU? What are you planning on making this Thanksgiving? What are some of your favorite recipes? . #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfoods #kalesalad #brusselsprouts #brusselsproutsalad #thanksgivingdinner #shareyourtable #theeverygirl #theeverygirlcooks #whatsfordinner #food52 #food52grams #chicagofoodbloggers
  • Such a special weekend celebrating this little lady (who’s not so little anymore 😥). What’s the saying.....”the days are long, but the years are short”. How have eight years with her already come and gone? It truly does go by so fast. _________ Off for more birthday celebrations today. Per the birthday girl’s request, we’re staying downtown somewhere “fancy”, wearing bathrobes and ordering room service (I’ve created a monster 🤦‍♀️). And I secretly can’t wait 😉#agirlaftermyownheart __________ Chicago friends, any special places you love that Lillian and I shouldn’t miss on our “girls night”? Thinking tea at the @thedrakehotel and dinner at @thesugarfactory. Tell me your favorite “girly” spots we shouldn’t miss 💕. . #embracingtheseasons #thedaysarelongbuttheyearsareshort #momlife #motherdaughter #motherdaughtertime #girlsdayout #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #mylittlelady #mygirl❤️ #myonlygirl #eightisgreat #chicagostyle #chicagoblogger #chicagobloggers #theeverymom
