I went digging through the archives over my morning coffee a little earlier, wanting to take a look at just what has gone down around here in terms of Valentine’s Day posts. I’m just now starting to think about Valentine’s Day, because while it’s super fun to craft and plan posts for, I just can’t …

[Tutorial + photo by Hank + Hunt for The Sweetest Occasion.] It was just shy of three years ago that Jenny brilliantly crafted these DIY party animal candles and with them took the internet by storm. Truth be told, all these months later, that tutorial stands strong as one of our most popular posts to date! I …
Hi, guys! How was your Halloween? I apologize for the late post today, but we’ve had the craziest windstorm blowing through these parts all day and our internet access as been spotty at best. So today you get two posts rolled into one, sound good? First up, let’s talk Halloween candy. There’s a good chance …
It seems that across the board, this year is definitely the year of black and white for Halloween. I guess maybe we’re all a little tired of the traditional black and orange? (Not that I don’t love me some kitschy Halloween decor, because I do.) Personally I’m loving the whole black and white love affair …
I was talking with B one day back in July and said something along the lines of, “We should probably start thinking about what we’re doing for Thanksgiving this year!” Insert loads of premature excitement on my part and a well-deserved head shake on his part. Of course, most people aren’t thinking about the holidays …
Halloween is absolutely one of my favorite times of year. Everything from the spooky decor to the scary movies to the little trick-or-treaters decked out as ghosts and goblins just makes Halloween so much fun! Every year for the last several years I’ve made a point of sharing a handful of great Halloween printables to …
It’s hard for me to believe that The Sweetest Occasion marked five years old at the beginning of September. Five years! If we want to get a little statistical for a moment, that’s 1/6 of my lifetime. It feels so short and yet so long all at the same time. I never imagined five years …
I can’t believe the summer is winding down, but there’s no denying that fall is just around the corner. Here in our neck of the woods, school starts up in a couple weeks so for most people with kids it’s a flurry of back to school shopping, sorting through school supplies list and generally just …
Hey, guys! Popping in quickly today with a belated dose of link love for your weekend. After a hectic week, it’s a quiet working weekend at home for me this weekend. I’ve been watching a bit of Friday Night Lights on Netflix. I never watched it when it was on originally, but sometimes that’s how …
In preparation for a few new little tweaks to the site, I’ve been working on sifting through a bunch of old posts and couldn’t resist sharing a handful of favorite DIY projects from the archives. For the last few years my amazing team of contributors (Jenny, Chelsea, Alice, Kelly and Stephanie) and I have cranked out …
Are you guys sick of hearing me complain about the weather yet? Because I’m getting sick of myself. I’m not usually one to bemoan Mother Nature, but seriously. It’s pushing mid-April and yesterday I was dodging snowflakes. Snowflakes, people. All of this to say, I probably shouldn’t be surprised that I’m pinning everything bright and …
In an effort to keep it real, I’m going to break it down for you today and share this project with you. Even though it failed quite miserably and I decided to walk from it and have another cup of coffee instead of dealing with it like a good little blogger would. (Because sometimes/often/always I …
