meet kristen

a la mode!

well. hey there. it's me. kristen. a mama to three rascally boys. trying to figure this beautifully messy life out one day at a time. i hope to inspire you to find the fun in every day. find the yum in every bite. and find the ca-ute in every outfit. it will be authentic. it will be full of love. and full of laughs. and maybe even a few shed tears. but most of all it will be like coming home. like sitting down to coffee with your very best friend. i am so thrilled that you are here. now cozy up & let's have some fun.

after years of people asking me where i got that cute tee shirt. or how to make the fluffiest pancakes. or where i purchased my bazillion throw pillows. or how to keep a tidy home with three rascals running wild. or how I find the courage to forge a new path after divorce. i figured this would be the perfect little spot for us besties to all come together. sharing our love for food. fashion. family. and fun. all while finding your truest & most honest self. but hey. full disclosure. i do not know all the answers. nor am i the greatest fashionista. and hello spoiler alert. i am not even a real chef. but here we can pretend that we are all those things together. we can admit that we most certainly do not have it all together. but we are most certainly in this life together. and i am glad that you are here with me. you're my people.

hey there!

you are my people

hi. im so glad you are here. if you are here it is because you are likely craving authenticity. you want the real reel. not the instagram reel. you are just like me. maybe you follow me on instagram and know that I am divorced. or that I struggle with anxiety. or that sometimes I […]

Gang. I have been cooking away for over a decade. my love for cooking sparked in college & has just grown over the years. I love the experience of it. I love the deliciousness of it. I love the comfort. The connection. And the memories of it. To me, food is a lot like love. […]

man oh man do i love me some apple pie. the flaky crust. the cinnamony apples. its just so dang good. and its super nostalgic, too. like it brings me right back to thanksgiving at my grandmothers as a young child. i have been wanting to make hand pies for awhile. and finally did it. […]

if this isn’t the coziest winter meal. i don’t know what is. this crunchy & savory sandwich is sinfully delicious. the translation of this french sammie is “mister crunch.” and i couldn’t love that anymore. its darling. go ahead and add this mister crunch to your weekly menu this winter. it will warm you right […]

croque monsieur.

I absolutely love planning fun date nights. if you have been around here for awhile, you may remember when the city was in lockdown, Ron & I did “dating through the decades.” every week we had one date night that was representative of a decade. sometime it was just the two of us . . […]
