Festive Treats

Over the weekend, we had our first cookie making venture of the season! One of my favorite types of Christmas cookies is spritz cookies- it is the one you use with the cookie press to make really cute shapes. I searched Pinterest for a gluten free spritz recipe, and found this super simple one from Thriving Gluten Free.

I always try to find the gluten free recipes that do not have all sorts of crazy additive ingredients because it can be hard to find those, and they can be spendy. This one is literally just gf flour, sugar, butter and egg! And my goodness are they delicious, and smelled amazing while they baked. We baked some cookies, listened to holiday tunes, and out of nowhere, it started to snow!! It felt like the perfect cozy vibe for what turned into a snowy afternoon.

  Here's the recipe from Thriving Gluten Free: my one note is that I used the 1-to-1 gluten free flour blend from Bob's Red Mill!


We also made what my family calls Hockey Pucks. I feel like it is a midwestern thing? I could be wrong, haha. They are so yummy, but not gf, so I cannot eat them anymore. I am trying to find a gluten free cracker that is like a Ritz cracker so I can make these gf! But these cookies are just two Ritz crackers with peanut butter (or any nut butter) sandwiched in the middle, and then dipped in chocolate and allowed to dry. We use almond bark so we do not have to temper the chocolate ourselves!


Poppy really wanted to help, or maybe just eat the cookies, lol.

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
