If you follow me on Instagram, you know we have been slightly...OK, majorly obsessed with Pico de Gallo at our house lately. I've literally been making it once a week. One week I even made it twice because we went through an entire batch in two days. It. Is. So. Good.

They have their PinkBlush Maternity line but also have ...
Infant Easter basket: What to fill it with?
As soon as Liam was born I was already looking forward to what to get him for Christmas, traditions to start as a family that he'll hopefully look forward to each year, and how I can make holidays special and memorable. We loved getting him gifts for Christmas but he was only 3 months old and was definitely more excited about the wrapping paper and bows. And Valentine's Day? Well, it's mainly a Hallmark holiday anyway and clearly I wasn't going to give my infant a bunch of chocolate. So Easter ...
Hello world!
Welcome to The Blessed Mess! After having been out of the blogging world for a few years (some of you may remember me from my food blog Spicy Richmond), I am back at it!
