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

 

{A new coffee shop find; perfect pitstop for mom and dad on the way to the park}

 

Happy Friday!

Don't you just love shortened weeks? This one really flew by and I'm not complaining. A violent stomach bug has been running rampant and while Penelope and I have managed to escape it this far, Shaun was not so lucky. I spent a few nights this week resuming my Scandal obsession and am about half way through season 3. This weekend, we are expecting a bit of snow, we have a birthday party to attend and I have some writing projects to hunker down on. Aside from that, I'm planning to relax, get some things done around the house and hopefully squeeze in a bit more Scandal and last night's Parenthood. I hope you all have a great weekend!
