Something about starting off every Monday morning with a fresh dose of pretty color just makes me happy. But this color palette? This one in particular makes me really happy. Like big-ol-grin-on-the-face happy. Inspired by the color of Rainier cherries, basil, kumquats and sunflowers, it’s seriously kind of dreamy. Especially now that the weather is finally …

Happy Friday, friends! I want to take a quick moment to close out the week by recognizing how hard this week has been for our nation. Between the marathon tragedy, the current manhunt under way in the Boston area and the explosion in Texas, well, it’s just heartbreaking. My heart is aching for everyone affected …
We’re going to have a houseful this weekend and I have the overwhelming urge to get in the kitchen. I like spoiling my favorite trio of guys with our traditional homemade pizza nights and some kind of special treat that the little ones and I usually make together. Today I am eyeing these chocolate peanut …
You guys know by now that stationery and basically anything made from or printed on paper is a huge passion of mine. In keeping with tradition, this year I’ve rounded up a whole bunch of my favorite Mother’s Day cards, perfect for your spouse, your sister, your best friend or your own mom. Mother’s Day …
I’m excited to share this cocktail recipe with you today because it’s one of my absolute favorites! While simple, it’s classic, crisp and refreshing. Oh, and utterly delicious. Before we dive into the recipe, first a little background, because I quite enjoy cocktails and conversation with friends. The summer of my senior year of college, …
I know it has been a while since I’ve featured a real wedding and, honestly, that has actually been pretty intentional. See, this year I sort of re-committed to myself that I would only post what I was passionate about, things that I love and can’t stop thinking about. And frankly, there are so many amazing …
For some reason I’ve been so intimidated by the thought of playing with clay. But I kept seeing all the awesome things Chelsea was making with clay (like this project and this one, too) and decided it was time to give it a whirl! And guess what? It’s just as easy as she has always …
Spring is the ultimate season for showers! And I’m not just talking about rain. Between baby showers and bridal showers, I’m sure most of us ladies have a pretty full calendar over the next few months. I’ve already been to a couple in the last few weeks and I have several more to rock out …
by Kelly Lanza Did you guys ever splatter paint as kids!? It was probably the most fun activity ever, right? Well, I’ve amped up this classic little technique today and made some awesome cake toppers! These splattered numbers are so great for birthday parties (hello, art theme!), but you could also do letters for a …
I am so excited today to be bringing you my sassy spring love list! The folks at Diet Pepsi asked me to share a handful of my favorite things for spring in celebration of sunshine, sass and the all-new Diet Pepsi can designed by famed HGTV designer Vern Yip. Spring is the perfect time to …
Good morning, friends! You may have seen on Facebook or Twitter earlier this morning that I’ve been contending with some server issues the last few days. So my apologies for the late post this morning and the lack of Friday Link Love to close out last week. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon and …
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 …
