Looking to add some extra flair to our Cardinals-themed basement, I decided to turn a practical need into a fun DIY project. This custom side table became the perfect way to showcase our collection of St. Louis Cardinals baseball cards—each one filled with memories, big plays, and hometown pride. If you look closely, you can see our Save the Date from our Cardinals wedding 🤪.
This weekend has been an emotional one as my sweet Grandma passed away. I have so many wonderful memories of my amazing Grandma, many of which can live on through her German baking. This cinnamon swirl bread and her German Kipfels are two I will always cherish. I like to keep kipfles and this bread in the freezer just like Grandma, so I can continue to remember her sweet heart and to share her love with my family and friends.
Our visit to Fenway Park was a long but unforgettable one, packed with history, energy, and a little bit of magic. We kicked things off with a morning tour that brought the stadium’s legacy to life – complete with views from the legendary Green Monster and a walk through the iconic red brick concourses that ooze vintage charm. Located right in the heart of Boston’s Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood, the park is tightly nestled into its surroundings, giving it an old-school, neighborhood vibe that few stadiums can match. We lucked into a once-in-a-lifetime pregame moment, stepping onto the field for selfies with the players, and the night culminated in an electric 11-inning walk-off win courtesy of Big Papi. The fan culture was passionate and proud, and while the concessions leaned more nostalgic than gourmet – with Fenway Franks, Lobster Rolls, and the indulgent Fried Dough Sundae – they added to the park’s timeless feel. Though amenities are limited compared to modern stadiums, there’s something special about the no-frills, close-quarters atmosphere. From deep-rooted tradition to unforgettable moments, Fenway more than lived up to its legend.
This was such a fun birthday project that my sister and I worked on together! I had been searching everywhere for a cute St. Louis Cardinals dress but couldn’t find anything cute—so we decided to take matters into our own hands. With a little creativity, teamwork, and some crafting magic, we sewed our very own custom Cardinals dress. It turned out even better than I imagined and made the perfect game day outfit with a personal touch!
Once upon a time, in a house dusted with shimmering shades of blue, a bit of Frozen magic came to life. Elsa, Anna, and Olaf helped transform every room into a sparkling Winter Wonderland, where snowflakes twirled and adventure was always just around the corner. With blue as the heart of it all, the magic didn’t melt away after Christmas—it stayed, wrapping our home in cozy, frosty wonder all winter long.
Going in we knew we’d love AT&T Park based on what we’ve seen on TV and rave reviews from friends and family. This stadium is in a superb location, right in downtown San Fran with a remarkable view of the bay. It was easy to get sucked into the “Beat LA” chants as the Giants fans were beyond enthusiastic as they cheered their team to a resounding victory. There were many unique amenities for both kids and adults (slides, cable cars, and even a garden), and the concessions – which served fresh seafood and CA wines – were remarkable! A flock of seagulls took over the stadium immediately after the fans ran away, which was a really fun surprise. Our overall experience at AT&T Park was one of sheer enjoyment and places this stadium as one of our favorites to date.
