It’s hard juggling cooking with a busy schedule but that’s real life.

creating magical memories around mealtime…
but you’re wasting your time trying to do allll the “insta-worthy” things…

When I’m not hosting or creating content, I’m relaxing with a glass of champagne and re-watching Friends for the 100th time.
My favorite part of any trip is coming home –– so a night in with a glass of wine is just my cup of tea..!
Speaking of tea, I’ve never had a cup of coffee before… I’m the girl who loves her British tea and a good, flaky scone.
Favorite Snack? A cheeseboard of any kind, spicy salsa with salty tortilla chips, or just some finger-licking Cheetos!
A movie I could watch over and over? It’s a toss-up between Pretty Woman and Steel Magnolias! ((Julia Roberts is just the best, huh?!)) True Confessions: if I’ve seen a movie and I know how it ends, I will turn it off before the “scary parts.”
I also read the last page of a book before buying it…
