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!

Five Things Friday

I am so in love with this Friday.

I'm ready to get through this work day and hit the weekend. We have dinner with friends, a Halloween party tomorrow, nursery work and a bit of Frankenstorm prep too.

This week felt like a long one yet I've basked in all things Fall.

{a gorgeous Fall wedding}

My cousin Veronica got married last weekend and it was such a gorgeous wedding. We all prepped at my parents house and spent the evening dancing, eating and celebrating.

 

{DQ pumpkin pie blizzard}

It's only available until October 31 and I'll be having them frequently until next week.

 

{pumpkin spice cupcakes}

Just when I haven't quite had enough pumpkin, I whipped these up for dinner at our neighbor's house last night. Recipe coming next week!

 

{new statement necklaces from bauble bar}

After seeing my sister Kimberly's sweet collection of statement necklaces, I went on a little shopping binge for myself. I am obsessed with all of my purchases! If you'd like an invitation to Bauble Bar, let me know...you'll save $10 on your first purchase!

 

{earl grey tea in my favorite tea cup}

I'm usually a coffee drinker - and have continue to have a small half caf each morning since I've been pregnant...but on some mornings - especially those gloomy chilly ones - I love having a piping hot cup of earl grey. Somehow it feels so special.

 

What are your five things this week?

Any weather-related emergency prep tips?

You and your sisters look amazing! That colour looks fantastic on each of you :)
How are you feeling? It is great to see that you are still out and about and able to enjoy fall!
I hope everything is going well so far :) Enjoy every minute!

I haven't had a pumpkine pie blizzard yet this season...how did that happen. I did just make some incredible pumpkin dip, which is going to be fantastic!
