I really want to take this time to personally thank the person who invented breakfast pastries. Croissants, doughnuts, danishes, muffins, cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, bear claws … thank you. Because without you, breakfast would essentially be eggs and oatmeal. And if breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day, why not [Read more >>]
For as long as I can remember, I was a HUGE Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fan. I had all of their VHS tapes of their detective shows and movies, their Barbie dolls, their clothing line, everything.

Fall is, by far, my favorite season. There’s nothing like cuddling up at night and watching a movie by the fire; drinking piping hot, fresh-pressed apple cider; going pumpkin or apple-picking; the homey scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, apple, and clove; the baking that comes along with those same scents; scarves; boots; chunky-knit sweaters… the list is [Read more >>]
So I apologize to anyone in advance, but when it comes to Halloween, I get way too excited and immediately lose all semblance of willpower around bright bags of chocolate candy, pumpkin everything, spooky decor, and Halloween treats.

Is it just me, or is miniature food so much cuter and tastier than its larger counterparts? Think about it: petit fours are insanely more adorable than a larger cake. Brownie bites are petite and sweet compared to a regular hunk of brownie. And mini cupcakes? Almost too cute to eat and definitely impossible to [Read more >>]
This summer has been c-r-a-z-y. A good type of crazy though – besides the fact that it’s slipping by all too fast! Isn’t that always the case? Things I’ve accomplished this summer: road trip to Colorado with the pups, horseback riding, restaurant hopping, volunteering, traveling for work… Things that I haven’t been so good at [Read more >>]
I loved this simple idea from the moment I saw it on Tonia’s blog, The Gunny Sack.Who doesn’t want to drink out of a cup that is rimmed with sprinkles!? They couldn’t be more simple! If you’re looking for a cute idea for a party – this is it. I am now tempted to make [Read more >>]
Let’s chat about crazy good stuff that is also somewhat addicting. Such as this bark. Sometimes I think simple is the way to go! I’ll be honest, I saw a recipe for Cowboy-something the other day and I didn’t even realize that it was actually a thing. Of course…inspired from the Cowboy Bark that is sold [Read more >>]
So yes, I’ve been known to hoard candy. And sprinkles. Because you just never know when you’re going to need candy corn to make sunflower cookies, right!? Or jumbo nonpareils for eyeballs. I’m sure some of you understand… Well today I was glad I had not only one color of candy corn, but TWO. (Keep [Read more >>]
