[Photo by Anika London Photography from A Subtle Revelry. Styling by Carter & Cook Event Co.] Have you guys had a chance to pop over and check out my work at Babble lately? It’s where I write about all things entertaining, DIY, craftiness, style and things I generally love. I just adore being a part of the Babble team …
You know those dishes that you make excessively and could eat every single day? This is absolutely one of those dishes for me. We make it regularly at home where it serves equally as well as a meal unto itself as it does for a side dish. And for parties? Don’t even get me started. …
Good morning and happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was fabulous and blew by in an instant, as seems to be the usual anymore these days. Not that I’m complaining! I love summer and working on soaking up every little bit. In fact, this morning’s color palette was entirely inspired …
With the arrival of Will and Kate’s baby boy Prince George this week, it seems the whole world has royal fever! In honor of the little one’s arrival, I’ve rounded up 10 royal party and wedding favors over at Babble to help you give your next celebration a little royal flair. We’re talking floral fascinators, …

To say I am ecstatic about sharing this recipe would be an understatement. Shared by the incredibly sweet Melina of Sugary & Buttery, it’s a towering layer cake loaded with coconut, almond and white chocolate. Shut the front door. Just, seriously, stop it right now. Can we get together and share a slice over coffee? …
by Stephanie Gerber Have you noticed that flower crowns are seriously trendy right now? I love them! The colorful crowns have such a laid back, boho vibe that’s perfect for summer. But every time I’m tempted to buy one, I have trouble picturing it in real life. When Brittni got me thinking about ways to …
Hey guys! I’m back with the second edition of The Weekly Dozen. I’ll be honest, this week I dropped the ball a bit. In between shooting for posts (like this one and this one) and a really hectic week in general, wandering around shooting photos didn’t happen very often. Then count in forgetting my camera …
‘Tis the season for carnivals and county fairs, which is entirely the inspiration for this week’s color palette. Bright, saturated carnival red is seriously the color of the season! It makes me think of wandering the fair, ice cream cone in hand, in hunt of a bag of fried dough. Yup. That’s ice cream and …
It’s 95 today and the humidity is through the roof. It’s one of those days where I’d rather lie around daydreaming about popsicles than doing just about anything else. Not that I’m complaining! These long, hot sunny summer days are the kind of days I live for in the midst of the crazy winters we …
