A Simple, Delicious Treat

Today I have something special for you...my first recipe on the blog! It is very easy to make and is good for you! 


I can't believe I actually took pictures of the process this time. Usually I end up with one picture of the end result and don't share it on the blog.

4 Peaches (white or yellow)
Honey (1/4 to 1/3 cup)
Greek Yogurt (2-1/2 cups or 20oz)
*I used peach flavored yogurt but you can use plain/vanilla*
Makes approximately 8 servings



Peel peaches.
Roughly chop peaches.


Puree peaches in blender. Then add yogurt and honey and blend until smooth.


Pour into ice cream maker. ( I used my ice cream attachment on my kitchenaid mixer)
Mine took 25 minutes but different machines may vary.


Tim approved! I really liked it but wish I had more honey to drizzle over the top. It was a little too tart for me. Next time I will make sure to have plenty. Let me know if you try it! Are there any other fruit variations you would make??

Home is where your Mom is!

I wish I could have been home this weekend celebrating with my mom, but Tim's graduation was yesterday and we will be visiting next weekend. After graduation, we spent the rest of the weekend in Williamsburg with my in-laws!



I love you Mama and I don't know what I'd do without you! Thank you for everything :)


This Mother's Day I have a mother-in-law to celebrate too!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Have a relaxing day...you deserve it :)

Bedroom Reveal

FINALLY! IT'S HERE! The bedroom reveal...

and if you missed the living room reveal be sure to check that out too!
{here}

and thanks to my co-worker Kim letting me borrow her AWESOME camera, I actually have some quality pictures!

First of all let me say that I am IN LOVE with this bedding! I love the colors, pattern, quality and especially the fact that its lays perfectly flat. 


I love the sentimental photos and art in this room. There is my bridal portraits canvas which will hopefully be replaced with a wedding canvas of me and Tim soon. The picture to the right is a cross-stitch that my bridesmaid Sammi made for us as a wedding gift. The photo on the left is Tim reenacting his proposal during our engagement session.



First kiss as husband and wife! I actually just switched this photo out before I took pictures but it will be staying! And my Nook Tablet :) Tim surprised me a couple of weeks ago and got me this ombre nightstand!!! Hubs know my strong love for Target!

Close up of the drapes- I adore this pattern and color. I wanted something simple to let the bedding shine, but they are in no way plain!





So, what do you think? Which room do you want to see next?


~In case you are curious, here is a renovation we just finished at work!

Bedding- Bed, Bath and Beyond
