I feel like the entire world has brightened a bit over this past week. The weather is warming and we are getting our first taste of spring. This past week, I officially returned to my full work routine for the first time since bringing home our little puppy, and while little Miss Sabine likes to lay on the guilt whenever my attention is directed to anything other than her, all is going wonderfully well.
The new "dessert delights" Tazo teas are so good! Have you tried the Glazed Lemon Loaf? Oh my gosh!
Mr. Pedantic and I are obsessed with these cookies. They are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea.
In general, I am not a soda-drinker, but these really peak my curiosity. Plus, they are SO cute!
A truly Kardashian-worthy display of affluence. This ice cream cone really lowers my view of society.
If you are looking for a weekend project, this ice cream is the perfect choice! My newest obsession.
Sending the best weekend vibes your way!
Sincerely,
Pedantic Foodie

Hi, friends. How are you? Should we talk about the humidity? No, let’s ignore the general dampness of our clothes and make something together.
We are exactly four days away from our little love’s delivery so I decided that it was about time I shared a glimpse of our nursery.
In all the manic that is our world right now, the simple pleasures of life have become all the more valuable to me. Pleasures of warm days, patios, tall glasses of lime-spiked ice tea, and a recklessly indulgent snack that tastes of summer bring a sense of familiarity to an altogether unfamiliar existence.

I love that my generation has taken a hold of snacks and made them into not only a socially-acceptable mode of daily nutrition but a hallowed one. If you're not entirely sure of the current snack pseudonyms, see; charcuterie, tapas, tastings, flights…
