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

 

{sweet personalized Easter basket for Penelope}

 

Somehow yet another week has flown by and it's {late on} Friday once again. We spent the week attempting to get Penelope to take naps, but the kid just likes to be awake and crying. I'm very excited for the weekend and Easter holiday. We'll be spending lots of time with family, snacking on holiday eats and dressing Penelope up in her super cute Easter attire. I couldn't resist picking out her first Easter basket and going all out with personalization. Though there's not much to put in it this year (aside from Penelope herself for some funny photos), I couldn't let her first Easter go by without a special basket. And she'll have this one for years and years to come! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and holiday, if you are celebrating!
