Sausage + Quail Egg Pizza
This pizza was completely spontaneous, as we just walked through the farmer's market and picked out ingredients that we loved and thought would go well together. We ended up with crumbly Italian sausage, fresh basil, over easy quail eggs, melty Italian cheeses, tomato sauce, and fresh cracked pepper over a crispy garlic and herb crust. We often order a pizza at one of our favorite Italian restaurants in Charleston that has quail eggs and it is SO good! The combination of the sausage, eggs, and cheese is perfect as the sausage adds a little spice and robust flavor while the eggs are perfectly mild with a unique texture. As mentioned above, we found our quail eggs at the local farmer's market, but I believe they often have them at Whole Foods too or check your local specialty grocery. They are perfect for topping pizzas or flatbreads because of their petite size and mild flavor.
Weekend Wardrobe
Let's talk about overalls, one of my favorite summer must-haves. They are always going in and out of style, but in my book, they're always a wardrobe staple! I'm always on the hunt for another pair, and these are my latest favorite because they're completely classic and so reminiscent of my favorite pair of overalls from childhood. Lately, it's so hard to find overalls that aren't super short and tight on the bottom (and who wants that?!) but these have the classic overall silhouette for that perfect laidback and comfy look. I paired them with this sweet off-the-shoulder top from Old Navy but they're also great with a simple tee or tank.
Summer Patio Refresh
I just completed my yearly patio cleanup and refresh for our side porch this past week. This year it seemed to be even dirtier and more full of leaves and debris than usual, so cleanup was not an easy task. In the process I updated my decor a bit because I like to add a few new things each year to make it feel new! This year I recovered my furniture cushions, added a new rug, as well as a few new pillows and accessories too. I still have a few more finishing touches to add but I wanted to go ahead and share my progress so far and some of my favorite patio pieces.

Summer Garden Veggie + Pesto Pizza
Summer is the perfect time for homemade pizza piled high with fresh produce from the garden! This summer pizza features fresh roasted vegetables on top of a garlic butter pesto sauce base and smothered with plenty of melty cheese. I also added some bits of fresh basil on top for extra flavor and color. Overall this pizza is super light, flavorful, and bright and so perfect for an easy summer dinner! We got all our vegetables and basil from the local farmer's market and I used Trader Joe's fresh garlic and herb pizza dough which makes at-home pizza making so easy and delicious!

Our Fixer Upper: Nursery Design Inspo
Now that we know the gender of baby Riddle, I'm ready to start designing and decorating the nursery ASAP! I've been working over the past month to get my former office cleared out which we will be using as the nursery since it's right next to our bedroom and super convenient from all parts of the house. We will be moving my office to the bonus room space over our garage, so it will be bigger and more spacious (with room for a little play area for the baby too)! The future nursery is one of those spaces of our house that I have done absolutely nothing to since moving in, so it's really a blank slate.
Baby Riddle is a BOY!
The secret is out and on Monday we found out that baby Riddle is a boy! Alex called it from the beginning, and has been calling him "baby Woodford" for months now. I thought deep down it was a girl just because he was being way too overconfident! The ultrasound appointment was quite eventful because I woke up at 3 AM the night before with an awful stomach virus! I was still so sick when it was time to leave for our appointment but I was determined not to miss it, so we headed to the doctor with a barf bag in tow (not a joke!). I made it through the appointment and was so relieved to hear the baby's heartbeat again.
