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: Summer's End

{summer seafood at its finest...oysters, clams, shrimp, lobster & crabs, oh my!}

 

I know I've been MIA for quite some time now...and I'm honestly not sure where that time has gone. I had so many blog posts that I wanted to write over the last bunch of weeks, but somehow they all eluded me. Or I should say...life got in the way. Life has been crazy as of late. Between shuttling P back and forth to daycare, soaking up the very short time we have with her in the evenings, dealing with being completely overworked...I've been essentially collapsing each night and sleeping like the dead. I'm happy to be back today with a special Five Things Friday to end the Summer, as Fall officially begins on Monday. I'm looking forward to sending off the Summer in style this weekend and welcoming Fall with open arms! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

What are you loving as Summer comes to a close?
