A few days ago, I got to be part of something pretty darn exciting. Whole Foods Market and Williams-Sonoma invited myself, and other bloggers, to an exclusive Thanksgiving dinner event! We were treated to amazing food, wine, and drooled over beautiful Thanksgiving tablescapes. I couldn’t get enough (food and eye candy from the decor. Oh […]
When Halloween comes along I always miss the days when I mulled over costume decisions with my siblings, seeing myself transform as I turned into a new character, and the smell of burning pumpkins glowing by tea lights in the dark as I trick-or-treated. We’d happily stuff ourselves of honey ham sandwiches before we trekked through […]
I’ve always wanted to work with the cool seasonal molds I see every year at the craft stores. When I saw one where you could turn an Oreo into a work of art, I thought “How hard could it be?”. Looking at the pumpkin mold, I knew I didn’t want to make it any old […]
I wont say exactly how often I go into Michael’s craft store (a whole lot and we’ll leave it at that. Ha!), but stumbling on these candy sticks that look like twigs totally sparked the idea to do candy apples. I could probably go out to my back yard and get real sticks to put […]

Over the last few years I’ve really gotten into loose leaf tea. Specifically minty teas. So when I ran into Tea in the Tower by Renaissance Lavender at a craft fair almost two years ago now, I knew I had to try it. It seemed like a little hand crafted luxury to take home with […]
Here we are in the midst of decking the halls, and I’m over here in disbelief that it’s almost the middle of December! Where time goes, I’ll never know… Since I took a small break in the Fall from blogging, I wanted to share some photos of when we went to a sunflower field and […]
A while back, the hubby was gifted a nice chunk of a chocolate bakers block. It was hard as a rock and we didn’t quite know what to do with it since neither one of us are great cooks or bakers. So we took to the internet and found an awesome Homemade Hot Chocolate recipe […]
I remember getting this recipe from my mom sitting in a booth at a pizza shop, jotting down the ingredients on some scrap paper. It was my favorite soup she made and had the best comforting effects on a cold night. She did it mostly by feel (and I do a little of the same) […]
