Today, we are featuring Carrie from A Lovely Little Wardrobe. You can take a peak into her world on Instagram.1. Are you married? What marriage advice would you give to a couple getting married? What have you learned? I am married and will celebrate 21 years with my hubby in October. The best advise I have for those getting married is that marriage is work and it just doesn't happen. There are times it will be hard but working through difficulties is so much better than giving up. I have also learned that I don't always have to say everything I think and...
A striped sweater or shirt is a timeless piece for every season. It can be paired with so many different items in your closet. I put a striped shirt as a staple right there with a black or white tee. Today I'll show you three classic ways to style a striped sweater for fall. CasualIt doesn't get more classic than a striped sweater and dark wash jeans. This is a perfect outfit for running errands or casual Friday. I kept my look simple with just a monogram necklace, but you could easily spice it up with a statement necklace.

I received a bundle of leeks in my organic produce box this week and had no clue what to do with it. I have never cooked a leek in my life. I scoured the internet looking at different recipes and adapted more than a couple to come up with my own (I have issues following recipes to the letter, it just doesn't happen). My goal was to keep it easy and delicious and there's no doubt I succeeded. This soup was a HIT! Enjoy!Potato, Leek and Bacon SoupIngredients:8-10 potatoes3 leeks6 cups chicken broth1/2 pound of bacon1.5 cups of whole milk1.5 cups shredded cheddar...

There is nothing that makes me happier than a cool fall day, a cozy sweater, football on TV...and the crockpot cooking up some deliciousness while I sip wine :) Can I get an "Amen?!"In the past, crockpot meals have tended to involve dumping cans of soup and powdered mixtures in the pot, along with a protein and calling it a day. I think that can be the misconception with crockpot food--it's unhealthy. I recently hosted a 5 Day Clean Eating Crockpot Challenge on Facebook and showed 170 of my closest friends :) just how HEALTHY crockpot meals can be!Today I am sharing with...
