Incomplete projects (and blog posts) sit… and sit. Bombs have exploded in my house. But days like today remind me of how [...]

This is coming just a few days late (last week was a killer!) but we are crazy over these cakes.

Call it simple (or mushy!) but for anniversaries and holidays like Valentine’s Day, my husband and I always agree to exchange meaningful cards, rather than big gifts. I’m a total card geek and a complete sucker for a mushy love letter. This Valentine’s Day, we decided to put together a Valentine’s “Love Letters” Dinner Party [...]

On a dreary, snowy Friday like today, we need some brightness in our lives! Okay okay… yellow is my favorite color anyway but who doesn’t love a [...]

Holiday parties are underway, shopping is nearing completion (ok… maybe not) and by now, Christmas dinner-planning is at least a ‘blip’ on your radar… but don’t forget to include your “signature drink!” We love the quote from The Today Show “Every good party deserves a signature drink.” It does.
