With just two weeks until Halloween, it’s time to start thinking about Halloween cocktails! (You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.) From champagne tinted with cranberry to resemble crow’s blood to vodka mixed with black cherry juice until it looks freakishly like some kind of black magic potion, these cocktails are perfect for …

You’ve probably caught on by now that I’m really excited for Halloween this year. Well, in truth, I get really excited for Halloween every year. For the last couple of years I’ve been really drawn to dark, spooky and moody Halloween decorations. That spooky vibe is just so eerily festive, especially when it’s amped up …
by Kelly Lanza I’m loving all things black, white and modern this Halloween. If you feel the same, and need an extra excuse to package up some candy for a party favor or for your kiddo’s class, these easy little Halloween treat bags are the perfect thing. Just print, cut, glue and fill! Tada! You …
Hey, friends! I know a lot of you are likely off today for the holiday so I’m taking advantage myself by catching up on a little backlog of work. We had a really awesome weekend with family and I got, oh, about nothing done on the work front. (Which, for the record, was a really …
I love a good carved pumpkin as much as the next Halloween-loving kid, but this year I wanted to try my hand at something a little different. I’ve been so in love with painted pumpkins the last few years that I knew paint was going to win the paint-vs-carve debate for me this year. But …
This fall, perhaps more than any other, I find myself with a serious itch to spend time decorating and sprucing up things at home. I’ve been working hard to finish the organizing and decorating we set out to do when we moved in (um, yeah, six months ago) so I’ve been on the hunt for …
I know I mentioned it earlier this week, but I seriously want to go to the pumpkin patch like it’s my job right now. We’re hoping to make it this weekend in between a flurry of football games and a birthday to celebrate tomorrow. We’ve been having the most amazing fall weather this week. Bright, …

You may remember these DIY ombré stripe favor bags that the lovely Maxine of Tulle Box Designs shared with us earlier this year. Today I’m excited that she’s back with another awesome favor idea – the cutest cow print cookie favor boxes. Thanks for sharing, Maxine! I love cookies – a lot. But I can’t remember the …
I make no secret of the fact that most of the time I’d rather be wearing yoga pants or dresses. At last count I had some obscene number of dresses in my closet, nearly all of which I don on the regular. Our fall so far has been really warm and sunny, but there’s still …
Hey, everyone, and happy Monday! Following yet another whirlwind of a weekend, all I want to do today is snuggle up and watch movies. Doesn’t that sound kind of amazing? My best friend got married on Saturday and getting to see all of my college friends together in one place at one time was so …
