Today I’m sharing my favorite Nutella hot chocolate! Topped with cinnamon whipped cream it’s seriously some kind of heaven. In a mug. Perfect for winter! …
Hands down one of my favorite ways to deck out a party is with a fabulous cake topper. Want to know a little secret? If I’m pressed for time (or I’m just feeling lazy) I have no problem hitting up the local bakery for a cake. I’ll pick up a cake that’s simply frosted in …
The statement I’m about to make may draw into question my sanity, but I’ve decided I’m ok with that. So here goes!

Good morning, friends, and happy Monday! We’re kicking off this week with a big ‘ol punch of juicy color, the winter citrus way. I love citrus season. While I may not live in sunny Florida, both of my siblings do and each of my parents travel back and forth regularly. So those big ripe juicy …
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Oh, and happy Friday, too! A day of love on a Friday. There’s not a single thing to hate about that, now is there? I couldn’t resist sharing one last handful of Valentine’s Day ideas. From super easy decor to yummy treats and printable cards, there’s still time to pull off …

A direct connection to my stepfather’s German heritage, there’s just something about that warm, spiced wine that I absolutely love. Today we’re putting a twist on the classic with pomegranate mulled wine! It’s one of those perfect winter drinks that …
