I’ve been meaning to write about these cookies for an incredibly long time and, seeing as though I just baked up a batch for my husband to take to school for a department meeting this week, it seems like a good time to share them with you. This is my go-to cookie recipe – it …

One of the things I love most about my husband is that he’s such a guy’s guy (thus the sports-themed birthday party) and yet he has a quiet sentimental side that I adore. (Read: I am complete sap and I appreciate that he understands that nostalgic, emotional side of my personality.) One of my favorite …
When planning Mike’s party I knew I wanted the invitations to be something clean, simple and masculine, because that’s Mike’s style. A point of note – Mike is obsessed with the newspaper. (In the best possible way, of course.) I knew I wanted to line the envelopes in something fabulous and immediately decided to use …
I’ll preface my source list by noting that I never shop at Walmart and by “never shop at Walmart” I mean I might walk in there once a year at most. Low and behold, last Sunday was my once a year trip into a Walmart and I scored a bunch of basic project supplies for …
I thought I’d kick off the week by sharing a little of my weekend with you – the surprise 30th birthday party I threw for my husband on Saturday night! I started planning this party for Mike almost immediately after wedding planning wrapped up and I knew right away that I was going to do …
I was so delighted when I came across Emersonmade last night, I just knew I had to start off your Friday morning by spreading the delight. From big fabric flower brooches and corsages that are as grandiose as they are whimsical to incredibly stylish clutches, ties, sashes, and even dinner napkins, Emersonmade’s shop is literally …
Sometimes it is the simplest of things that inspires me. Today it happens to be this photo from the lovely Myra of Twigs & Honey. I love this color combination – the prettiest shade of jade green you’ve ever seen paired with a soft dusty shade of aqua. I think these colors are perfect for …
I’ve been loving every one of Kathryn’s beautiful holiday infused inspiration boards on Snippet & Ink this week, which got me thinking about one such winter wedding inspiration board she created last year that I have loved ever since. It is the perfect combination of Tiffany blue (one of my all-time favorite colors), silver and …
There is something so ethereal and beautiful about the pieces textile designer Lousie Broad makes that I couldn’t help but find myself completely mesmerized as I scrolled through all the pretty little things in her shop. She uses the loveliest of natural fibers like silk and the softest merino wools to create each piece, perfect …
As we continue our adventures in house hunting, I’ve found myself reading an increasing number of interior design, nesting and renovation-themed blogs, included the ever-inspiring Young House Love. Sherry and John are more talented than I can express and I completely love their style, making it no big surprise that I loved reading all about …
I always find flowers inspiring. Not so much the overly formal bedazzled kind, but always the soft, pretty, slightly wild type like these pretty winter flowers from Studio Choo on Little White Book. Nothing perks up a room or my mood more than pretty flowers so I love this little purple and white bouquet, perfect …
I’m such a sucker for pretty handmade party decorations so it has to be expected that I love everything made by Pretty Swell. Perfect for holiday parties, weddings, bridal or baby showers, or just for livening up your home or office space, each garland is crafted from fabric flowers that have me completely smitten. {Photos …
