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!

Happy Friday!

Happy almost Valentine's Day! Gosh I just love everything sprinkled in red + pink!

This has felt like a long and daunting week, though nothing about it was particularly terrible. I'm excited because we have a long weekend ahead and will be heading out tonight for a weekend with family at my aunt & uncle's cabin. I can't wait for a cozy weekend ahead. I'm bringing brownies & cookies to frost and sprinkle {and devour} with Penelope, a few books on my Kindle and lots of warm clothes for venturing out into the snow.

Have a wonderful weekend and safe travels if you are going anywhere! Now tell me all the things about your weekend plans!

 

here are some links I loved this week:

these chocolate pancakes with strawberry yogurt would make a lovely v-day breakfast

on quitting a 'perfect' nyc life

when will working moms stop being punished? this one hit home.

love this list of 21 lessons from mom

i can't get this whipped cranberry porridge out of my mind

will you be seeing 50 shades of grey? i actually want to, but will probably wait until it's on demand.

speaking of movies, the breakfast club will be re-released in theaters to celebrate its 30th anniversary

an interesting read on when motherhood isn't amazing

one of my favorite blogs, hello giggles, now has a teen version {i'll probably read this one too!}

speaking of, they have a powerful piece about losing your parents

and on a lighter note, give these healthy kitchen hacks a try

 

I hope you have a great weekend! And before you go...

Happy Valentine's Day, from my little Valentine to yours!

Love the P pics! My friends and I are actually going to see 50 Shades next Friday. we figure it won't be as packed with estrogen levels out the bum and for me, it's an excuse to have quality time with the ladies and a night out for good food, drink and convo. Have a great weekend!
