I was in line at Whole Foods and saw an advertisement for Blueberry Peach Upside Down cake. Whaaaaat? I wanted it, I wanted it right away, but I wanted it homemade style. I’m a little…

At A Glance: Ocean City
I’ve missed doing this weekly At A Glance series. While school has kept me busy, it hasn’t been all work around here. One of my best days this summer in Maryland was a day trip…
Hanging in Style
Hello All! Things have been a bit quiet around these parts. That typically means things have been non-stop busy for Linz and I. As Nisha mentioned, Linz had a flipping BABY!!! I’ll let her share…
Adventures: Snacking
There is no denying that food ends up being a big part of all this adventure having. Perhaps it is the main feature if you are picking fruit or pickling everything in sight. Or maybe it’s…
Foodie Friday: Creme Fraiche Pizza
I am in love with this pizza. We are talking make-two-times-in-one-week kind of love. I think it is the creme fraiche. Perhaps it is it that I am currently into cream based flavors with lime,…
Adventures: Summer Bucket List
Summer technically started just a few days ago, but I feel like it has been rushing by for weeks now. The days may be long, but they are flying by in a flash for…
At A Glance: Balboa Park
When looking at my San Diego pictures I realized I had a ton from my trek with friends through Balboa Park. It may seem trite to feature this park. I mean, who doesn’t go here…
Makeover Monday: T-shirt Re-do
Is anyone else feeling SUPER busy lately? What, you too? Good, glad I’m not the only one who is feeling stretched for time. Even though I have been feeling like I’m rushing around to get…
Adventures: Adrenaline Rush
I do not consider myself to be a very brave person. I do however see myself as an adrenal junkie. How do these things go together? Well, it is really quite simple, give me any…
At A Glance: San Diego
Does anyone else out there ever feel younger than they are? I often forget that I have been doing this “adult” thing for 10 years now. Every now and then I’ll do something and…
Foodie Friday: Jam Cookies
Have we talked about Portlandia yet? Since moving to Baltimore I get asked a lot about that show. Have I seen? Is it realistic? And oh boy, am I excited to tell people it is…
At A Glance: O’s Game
I basically know very little, bordering on nothing about baseball. But that didn’t stop me from wanting to go to an Orioles game with my Dad and some friends a couple of weeks ago. It…
Makeover Monday: Dot Cards
I think we are all familiar with this routine at this point. I buy some sort of craft supply and then I can’t help but think of a million ways to use it. It’s…
Adventures: Strawberry Picking
It’s the first Sunday in a new season, which means we are moving on to a new idea for our “Letters” series. Since this season is about nature we will be exploring ways in which…
Hello Again
We are continuing our check-in with all our favorite themes and have made our way back to nature. Interestingly enough last time I talked about our thematic season of nature for the summer, I mentioned Linz…
Craft Round Up: Food
This season was difficult was for me to figure out what type of Craft Round Up I wanted to do. Should I feature some fun crafts that use food? Should I share my favorite food…
Bawlmer
I love to travel. Yet, I understand that traveling is a word that can mean something different to people. For me, it often means eating and a lot of it. Food is one of the…
At A Glance: Philadelphia
I had not explored the city of Philadelphia since I was 10 when I did a day trip up that way with my Dad last week. My expectations were very low. I had heard…
Makeover Monday: Hair Updo
This hair updo is for all the ladies out there with thin hair. I don’t know about how you feel if you have thin hair, but I certainly feel like there are less hair tutorials…
Foodie Friday: Mediterranean Bagels
They may not be the cutest things you have ever seen, but my first attempt at bagel making was a success! I followed the simple recipe by Sophisticated Gourmet. As a child I was all…
jess + linz
Friends since middle school, we continue to inspire each other to be creative in our big, adult lives. Each season we take on a new theme to guide our crafting, cooking, and creating. We're up for trying anything, and things are bound to get messy. But that's just the way we like it.
