Our resident spicy chicken nugget wanted to share

Our resident spicy chicken nugget wanted to share some big news! James is soon-to-be no longer the only cook in our kitchen! Baby GIRL 💕 Colligan due, appropriately, right around Thanksgiving.

In between the many bagels, sour gummy worms and very hot afternoons loving on this extra busy toddler, @jamesjcolligan and I have had 10,000 pinch me moments and couldn’t be more grateful to welcome another absolute miracle baby into our family.

Can’t wait to start adventuring through this wild and crazy world as a crew of 4!

It’s been 2 full days of ripening on the counter

It’s been 2 full days of ripening on the counter, had to try these @thepeachtruck peaches with you guys since were all wondering if they’re going to change my life…check it out!

I got these on the tour on Thursday at the Paramus, NJ stop on the tour. Check their site for locations near you and delivery options! 🍑😘 (and yes, I need a manicure 😂)

The team at the @rachaelrayshow lost a very specia

The team at the @rachaelrayshow lost a very special member of our crew this week, our beloved Penny Pie. 🐾💔

Very early in my almost 17 year career at the show, Penny stuck her head in my bag under my desk and ate my lunch. I had to tell her owner @emilyrieger1, that with the sandwich, she also ate about 1/4 of the aluminum foil that it was wrapped in. Apologies and laughs were had, lunch money was offered. Em and Penny walked me down to the staff favorite lunch spot (@amishmarket miss you bb) and since that walk, we have worked beside each other almost every day for the better part of 15 years. Through these years, Em became my mentor, friend and huge support, all with Penny by our side. And often unwillingly held in a tight hug. They became my family and in turn, have become my family’s family as well.

It’s wild to think how a little brown pig’s big life affected those around her so much. Everyone who met Penny, knew she was a one-of-a-kind critter. I could go on and on with memories. How she was so smart she knew where to lay down in the hall so she had her googly eyes on as many people as she could watch. Or how @damatz would sing “Pa pa pa pa Penny and Jeanette” to the tune of Benny and the Jets when we walked by her office to go out for a spin around the block. Or how she was sitting in a cozy bed under the desk when I was nervously on camera. Or how @grantmelton and I taught her how to ring a bell for treats…I know everyone who walked the halls at both studio locations the last 16 years has a story about how she made them smile, stole a French fry or how she made us all laugh as she crawled in a pizza box during a pitch meeting.

Penny, you were the first dog I ever loved. You opened my heart to what a pet could be. Your lip tuck was everything. You will always be my favorite thanksgiving table guest. I will miss you my friend. Sending extra love to you, Em. Thanks for sharing the magic of Penny with us all. ♥️

Biggest party we’ve ever thrown recap part TWO-

Biggest party we’ve ever thrown recap part TWO- invite artwork. Custom digital watercolor made by my incredibly creative minded, dear friend, Jac of @theproppyshoppe. It was so good, it needed to be on a custom napkin, don’t you agree!?

No one takes an idea and makes it a real life vision like she does. I told her we were having a housewarming/2nd bday party combo and THIS is what she came up with.

Thank you Jac, we will cherish this image forever. From the creative game our guests loved (can you find all 22 Roman numeral 2’s!?) to an homage to our beloved tabby cat in the window, lucky to always have you on my side!!😘

Not sure how you begin to process the biggest part

Not sure how you begin to process the biggest party you’ve thrown…ever, so we’ll start with details 🥳

We finally celebrated our guy with a proper toddler rager and our home renovation finally being complete with an open house party. It was a party TWO long overdue but we are so grateful it finally came together safely and with such success. It was a day we’ll never ever forget. Huge thank you to our friends, family and vendors for all their support and for making this blowout party so much fun! More pics to come 🥰
