Linen Closet Organization

I wouldn’t say the messiest closet in my house is the linen closet. It’s actually my prop closet, which I hope to tackle soon (another post! another time!). My closet in my bedroom is still going strong (yay!). The linen closet? Ummm. It’s probably the second messiest closet because I’m constantly in there and when I’m in a rush, things get unkempt. I also have a few people in my house who go in and get bandages from the first-aid kit and leave wrappers on the floor…adding to the mess. Who could that be?! I wonder. 🙂

Veggie Cream Cheese Bagels

We’re baaaaaaaaaaaack in the mix with school. I’ve been making Cooper’s lunches the night before school so I am not rushing around in the morning like a chicken with it’s head cut off. That seems extreme, but if you have children, you know the morning chaos all too well. Hopefully I can keep up this habit!

Here’s a quick lunch idea. Mini bagels with veggie cream cheese! And look what you can do with the cream cheese. Put it on cucumber slices, crackers or even on celery! What I’ve learned about making lunches is that it’s all about shaking things up.

My Everyday Life: Week 36

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life: Week 36

Treat yourself to breakfast. You deserve it.

The reason why I am late in posting this week’s photos.

Adult kickball with a lot of booze. Mama has been in slow motion today. Ugh.

Finished last night at the Peso….which was probably a bad idea.

Find Ella.

There she is in a small patch of light.

Sunday is my laundry day.

Things lined up.

I spelled calories wrong. Typewriters don’t have spell check.

Here kitty kitty.

Spent all Friday night working on a book.

Schmeep.

Lunch with my dad. We split a salad and a sandwich. My dad gave me a pep talk.

I really needed one. I also really needed all those fries.

Popsicle + whiskey= Friday Times

Afternoon sun.

Back to School Night tradition.

Those drinks were bomb.

So golden.

I didn’t take many pictures this week… but when I did it was mostly of my cats.

Look at how Rosie fills out that bowl.

This is the same bowl with my robe in it. Look at how little Ella is.

Walked through a cemetery. Some of the people were born in the late 1800s.

Teach them young.

He’s not wrong about sharing food….with someone who is sick.

I miss the rain….mostly because I love puddle reflections.

Peachy smoothies for a play date.

Last minute dinner situation.

Early morning wake up.

My work buddy.

Inspiration at Jonathan Adler.

I brought home some coasters.

A smoothie bowl that should have just been in a cup. Too melty. But vibrant!

I know, Rosie. I know.

Coffee date with Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere.

She’s even more awesome in person. I love that we both grew up in the same area.

Standing on top of a table shooting a fallen pie. As one does.

A moment of quiet.

Lucky boy.

Lucky me.

He found the light in a hardware store.

Play date with my friend Helen Jane. It was one of those days when I had so much fun that I didn’t take a picture because my phone was off in another room.

I love days like that. I need more days like that!

My babies from the Alameda Flea last week.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane:

Zucchini Parmesan Sliders

The Slider Effect! It’s a new cookbook by my friend Jon. It’s a book for the slider enthusiast!

I am definitely a slider enthusiast.

How many will we have? Start with one…take another…three….four…oops.

I wanted to make the eggplant parmesan sliders from the book. I’ve had them in person at Jon’s book event and they were bonkers. Unfortunately my husband isn’t a eggplant fan like I am….so ZUCCHINI IT IS.

Panko crusted fried zucchini sandwiched in between soft rolls with marinara and melted parmesan. Basil is stuffed in for a little herbal kick. Bet you can’t eat just three.

My Everyday Life: Week 35

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 35:

We went to the Red Sox vs. A’s game on Saturday together. It was the last time I’ll see David Ortiz play (probably) in person. It was an exciting game.
