Firecracker Salsa
BLUEBERRY, STRAWBERRY & JICAMA SALSA Looking for a unique but patriotic recipe to make for your 4th of July celebrations? This Red, White and Blue salsa (compliments of Two Peas and Their Pod) has become a one of my favorites! Crunchy jicama, juicy berries and just a little bit of jalapeno heat make this appetizer […]
Shine!
Over the past few years, I have become more and more passionate about supporting small, local businesses. Largely due to the fact that I became a small business owner myself! It is interesting how our own journey and life experiences open our eyes to things we never gave much thought to before they became a […]

Pumpkin Obsessed
To say my crew is crazy about pumpkin would be a huge understatement. We are obsessed. As much as I grieve summer coming to an end… I love the cooler temps, layering of clothing with a pair of boots, a fresh set of goals to go with our new schedules, and most certainly, all-things pumpkin. […]
Rock Star Status…
I have often said that a couple of my favorite things about this accidental little business of mine are not only the causes UH is able to support, but the community it has built. You are all a part of our story… something as simple as a headband connects us together in a small way. From the incredible small businesses that carry our line, to […]

Well, let me start by saying that choosing a name was probably the toughest decision that I have made for this little business so far… partially because that kind of creative task is just not one of my strengths (hence the naming contest on facebook for each […]
