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…
Our Series
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…
Makeover Monday: Raised Garden Bed
With the theme of nature fresh in my mind, it’s about time that I share one of my favorite projects Dale and I have undertaken since moving into our first house. We built a raised…
Adventures: Sightseeing while Exercising
Hello again! My name is Nisha and back in December I wrote about throwing dinner parties. I am taking a break from dinner parties to join Jess & Linz for this season’s Adventures series. I…
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…
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…
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…
Challenge: Blood Orange Rosemary Spritzer
Being pregnant, something I can’t smugly say is that I haven’t missed alcohol at all. I do. I especially miss how a fancy cocktail can make me feel all special and grown up. I’m not…
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…
At A Glance: Bahamas
Have I ever mentioned on SA how incredibly blessed I feel? I have many amazing things in my life, but one of the all time best parts is that I have not one, but two…
Foodie Friday: Bean Summer Salad
Summer weather has come a bit early to my “neck of the woods” (oh, Al Roker…you’ve infiltrated my brain when it comes to talking about weather.) With so much sunshine and heat, I’ve been extra…
Makeover Monday: Dots on the Ceiling Fan
I think it is starting to be clear around these parts that when I like working with a new item sometimes I just can’t stop. Hence the second Makeover Monday post from me using label…
Challenge: Pregnancy Food Craving
Happy Mother’s Day! While I’m not technically a mother yet, it seems fitting that Jess recently challenged me to make a dish of a food I’ve been craving while pregnant. Plus, I’m getting really close…
At A Glance: Flower Mart
I have been hearing for months now that summer time in Baltimore is the best. That there is always something to do, always some festival to attend. I think with the first weekend in May…
Challenge: Share a Fave Comfort Food
More than a favorite comfort food, I have a type of food I love above all others and that is Mexican food. I grew up in southern California where good Mexican food was everywhere. My…
At A Glance: Ithaca
I took a small road trip this weekend to Ithaca, NY. I had only visited the area once before during the fall season, so it was nice to get to spend a little more time…
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.
