Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

What's On My Playlist

Still time to enter our giveaway! Click here to win a custom portrait of your pet or favorite animal!

Hello from Vegas! I've been neglecting you (blog and blog friends) and I'm sorry. But something about Vegas make things seem like one long day and honestly, I cannot even believe it's Thursday. With that in mind, I'm counting down the hours until I get home to Shaun!! I really hate being away for so long.

So on another note, I have a confession. I'm a serial song listener. When I've found a song that I love, I completely OD on it. Shaun hates it. I can't say that I blame him. But I can't help it...I like what I like. I thought it would be fun to compare playlists with you. Are you in? Perhaps you can share some additional songs for me to obsess over...deal?

My Current Playlist:

Give Me Everything - Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer) - love.

Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Peas

E.T. - Katy Perry

The Cave - Mumford & Sons

Little Lion Man - Mumford & Songs

Starlight - Muse

Undisclosed Desires - Muse

Blow - Ke$ha (please don't judge me)

We Takin' Over - DJ Khaled featuring Akon, TI , Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Baby & Lil Wayne)

Beautiful - Akon

On the Floor - J Lo featuring Pitbull

Hello - Martin Solveig and Dragonette)

Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

Dirty Dancer - Enrique Iglesias featuring Usher & Lil' Wayne

Random? Yes. As you can tell, I love upbeat songs that make me want to get up and go! I'm listening to this playlist right now as I pull myself out of bed and up to get ready for my last full day here...hoorah!

So tell me...what am I missing? What's on your playlist?

I keep singing Bruno Mars Lazy Song - it's in my head and I can't get it out.

Vegas does sneak up on you - when you come here you really get away from it all - so glad we got to get together - next time bring Shaun - I'd love to meet him - and it's only fair

I feel like I've been neglecting the blogging community too - but I don't have a good excuse like you do - I've just been crazy busy with work, gym, and Praxis-studying! Glad you are enjoying your trip!

I love the playlist---I'm gonna steal some of them from you, and there's a few already on my playlist :)

I can't really think of anything new or exciting, but my nephew keeps making me play the youtube video of What the Hell by michael henry and justin robinett.

i'm so happy you put sprawl II up there!! i'm so obsessed with it! they closed the encore with this song and the girl who sings it is so talented and beautiful live on stage.
after seeing arcade fire and mumford and sons live last weekend i have a whole new appreciation for the two bands. they make truly amazing music!

I am totally obsessed with the Adele CD right now. By obsessed I mean I probably listen to the whole CD five-ten times a day. I OD on songs too, I play them repeatedly until I get sick of them. Another song I am really loving right now is Good Life by One Republic.

consulting this to make a new running playlist tonight! love pitbull.
