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

{snowstorms and frigid temps this week in Colorado}

 

I really can't believe that we made it to Friday. It's been a whirlwind with traveling to Colorado earlier this week and the craziness will continue through the weekend. Shaun is off to Miami for the weekend for a bachelor party while I'm heading to Philly tonight with co-workers for a Rocky Balboa themed 5K at the bright hour of 7:30AM tomorrow (it's work-related, but I'm looking forward to a girls night and team bonding!). The rest of the weekend will be filled with Eagle Scout celebrations and a christening. It will be another crazy time, but then again, when isn't it? I hope you all have a truly fabulous weekend!

I didn't have a ton of time for links this week, but here are a few things I loved:

6 Things You Shouldn't Buy at Trader Joe's. I don't buy anything at TJ's because there isn't one near me unfortunately!

When is a model considered plus sized?

Yes! 10 things your mom never told you.

Are you raising nice kids? It's one of my goals in life.

Want immediately: warm honey fig dip with blue cheese & garlic pitas

Totally freaked by this round up of very special episodes

And finally, the cast of Sons of Anarchy was on Conan this week, and apparently it was epic {I'm 2 episodes behind and so I have it DVR'd but refuse to watch it until I'm caught up on eps! let the fan-shaming begin}

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
