Following up on this week’s ode to the best apple recipes for fall, let’s talk cocktails, shall we? We’re tentatively planning a trip to the apple orchard this weekend with the kiddos and a bunch of friends and their families, so I know the apples will soon be overflowing our fruit bowl. By a whole …
Friends, can we chat health and lifestyle for a moment? I wasn’t planning to write this post just yet and, frankly, this is far outside the realm of what we usually chat about around these parts. That said, I know I’m far from being alone in my journey over here and I thought it might …
If you follow me on Instagram, chances are you’ve seen this photo already. I posted it last week and hinted at the fact that I may soon be leaving behind the work-from-home world to take up residence in a pretty storefront office. (Hooray!) A week later, everything is lining up quite nicely and it’s official! …
Over the last several months I’ve found myself increasingly captivated by really great kids photography. To the extent that I felt the need to start an entire Pinterest board dedicated to the cause. All of these images are from Vancouver based Leuie, a boutique overflowing with the most beautiful kids clothes, accessories and home furnishings. …
by Kelly Lanza Fall starts next week. What?! That means we’re headed into the height of gift giving season, and we won’t be coming back out until 2014. Or, if you’re like me, it’s always gift giving season! I just love giving a gift. It may be because I love packaging up that gift (Shh, …
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 …
Today is one of those Monday mornings where I could have slept away half the morning. I think because it’s cool and dark today and definitely feeling more like fall by the hour it seems. Today’s color palette? It’s directly inspired by the colors I’m seeing outside and all around right now. Overcast skies and …
Is anyone else really, really, really happy that it’s Friday? This week seriously seemed to drag for me and was more hectic than I would have liked so I am chomping at the bit to head into the weekend. We have a couple of birthdays to celebrate this evening and then tomorrow I’m hoping the …
Hi friends! Happy Friday morning to you! Do you guys know Leif? I hope you do! But if not, consider this your introduction. I am absolutely obsessed with this shop and while I’ve linked to their gorgeous entertaining wares and accessories a million times by now, I got sucked into browsing the site last night …
While summer is certainly winding down and making way to exit stage left in a matter of days, I’m still holding on strong to my love for long sunny days spent hanging out around the water or in the backyard. Which probably explains why I love today’s Cuban inspired recipes, all whipped up with a …
It’s hard for me to fully grasp that today marks twelve years since that fateful day that changed so much for we Americans. I remember exactly where I was that morning, a freshman in college, barely two weeks into the semester, driving to campus in my old beat up Ford Escort. It was like any …
Have you guys seen Oh Joy’s new studio? Of course you have. It’s about everywhere at the moment. Which I actually kind of love because I’m obsessed with her space. The natural light, white walls, painted floors, exposed brick and punchy bursts of color just make me happy. I honestly can say that it is …
