To call this bit of genius a cake might be a stretch. To call it insanely delicious? The understatement of the year. B affectionately refers to it as crack in a dish. He’s probably the most accurate of the bunch. (Honestly, I don’t know what to call it other than really damn good.) After much …
I have a thing for a good paloma that I just can’t shake. Especially this time of year! Traditionally made with tequila and either freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and club soda or a grapefruit soda, I decided I wanted to try my hand at mixing up the flavors a bit. And this time of year, …
Good morning and happy July, friends! It’s probably not going to surprise you a bit, but I kind of couldn’t refuse going patriotic with this week’s color palette. Inspired by the color of faded denim and cherry red, I love how the richer shades of cobalt and dusk blue make the whole thing pop. It’s …
Happiest Friday to you, friends! How’s everyone’s day been? I’m cutting out a touch early today because I have a bunch of errands to run in advance of the wedding B and I are a part of this weekend. He’s a groomsman and I’m helping with decor so tonight we have the rehearsal and tomorrow …
In keeping with my love for all things patriotic at the moment, consider this your daily dose of festive red, white and blue. From colorful flip flops to the perfect red polka dot bathing suit to this striped striped t-shirt that I adore, I just can’t get enough at the moment. Which is probably pretty appropriate with …
I’m not exaggerating even a touch when I say that July 4th is absolutely one of my most favorite days of the year. It’s something about the sunshine, the patriotic swaying of flags and the fireworks. Oh, the fireworks! It’s every bit a magical combination if you ask me. Not surprisingly, my pinning tendencies are …
When I mentioned my new purchase yesterday, I also promised I’d keep you posted on how I’m making out with my new gear. When making the decision on what camera to buy I read a ton of blog posts, did a lot of research, asked lots of questions of friends with higher end cameras, read …
by Stephanie Gerber It’s the time of year I start wishing I had a beach in the backyard. Even one within a 250-mile radius would do! Because summer days are meant for collecting sea shells, building sand castles and relaxing with a good book. Everything should be easy – even your jewelry! And if you’re …
Looking back recently, it dawned on me that it’s been a bit since shades of purple have come out to play in a color palette. Then this perfectly plum and mint pairing from Wendy’s Lookbook stumbled across my path and I decided these soft pastel colors, reminiscent of sweet summery gelato, were all kinds of lovely together. …
Hi, friends, and happy Monday! It appears I cut out a little earlier than anticipated on Friday (it was just one of those days that gets away from you) so I figured I’d start the week with a dose of link love. Oh, and in honor of it now officially being summer, I’m rocking out …
By now you’re likely well aware that I’m a complete sucker for a lemonade stand. Maybe it’s because I grew up on a rather rural road and never had enough neighbors as a kid to have my own? Maybe. That could well be it. Or maybe it’s just because lemonade stands feel like the epitome …
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 …
