So, real life. B and I are not typically the type who dress up for Halloween. You’re much more likely to find us wearing jeans, watching a Halloween movie and pausing it regularly to hand out candy to trick or treaters. This would explain why I’m never the blogger who gets all crazy crafting and …

I love handing out candy to trick or treaters so today I’ve rounded up a handful of fun last minute printable Halloween treat bags. The kind sure to make every little ghost and goblin exceedingly happy. Of course these double …
Friends, I’ve been on a major pancake kick lately. In all fairness, I’ve been a massive pancake lover basically my whole life, but in recent years I’ve moved toward egg dishes as my go-to weekend breakfast.

As I’ve entered my 30s, I’ve found myself wanting to experiment more with lipstick. Actual, real, grown up lady lipstick. I’m a gloss girl through and through. Usually tinted gloss with a good amount of pigment, but I’ve never strayed too far into wearing opaque lipstick. I find it kind of scary! Is that weird? …
As a rule I don’t gravitate toward orange and red colors. The exception to that rule would be in my accessories. Like this awesome black sweater cape paired with a red clutch. Now that, that, I can do. So with today’s color palette I’m embracing rich, saturated autumn-inspired shades of cabernet, pumpkin and cardinal red. …
Last week when I shared my 4 easy tips for hosting a Halloween party, I promised to share with you my simple process for making candy corn cake in a jar! I’m not really sure there’s anyone out there who doesn’t love cake in a jar. I mean, it’s cake for one thing. From a …
A few weeks ago we waxed poetic about yummy apple recipes. Or maybe that was just me? Ok, ok. It was me. Well today I’m going on a little tangent centered on all the apple cocktails that have been popping up here, there and everywhere all season long. The cider mill near us makes the …
We’re shopping again today! Or, actually, window shopping. We’re absolutely window shopping, at least in my case. I actually avoid shopping just for the sake of shopping, but I do love bringing home something new and pretty for my closet once in a while. Or, more often than not, for the house. If you peeked …
It’s been a while since we talked about pudding shots. Lest you should think my obsession has wasted away to nothing, we’re back at it today! This time we’re swapping out summery flavors for the perfect fall seasonal pairing of butterscotch and spice. Add in ginger snap crumbs and you really can’t go wrong here. …

Everyone will sip each concoction, vote on their favorite and one winner will take home a prize for the best Halloween drink recipe! So today, I’ve rounded up a handful of awesomely spooky Halloween cocktails. We’ll …
I’m crazy about a good dinner party. Lately we’ve had about zero opportunity to even think about hosting a dinner party, because of our crazy busy summer (you know, that whole song and dance you’ve already heard before.)
