Good morning, friends! How was your weekend? The weather here was gorgeous and I took a much needed break, stepping away from the computer entirely yesterday. I’ve been avoiding the heat (me + pregnancy + heat = no bueno), but it was so good to get outside, enjoy a day on the boat, sit in …
This post was sponsored by Dr. Oetker Ristorante. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that help make The Sweetest Occasion possible! Hosting a casual pizza party is one of my favorite ways to entertain. It helps that we love pizza, or really, that everyone loves pizza. It also helps that it’s one of the easiest ways …
I keep both a notebook and a very detailed spreadsheet for brainstorming, cataloging and organizing DIY ideas that I’d like to eventually turn into posts. I scribble down ideas as they strike me and also occasionally sit down for longer, more formal brainstorming sessions. And then there are the days you’re about to shoot a …
Happy Friday, friends! I thought I’d switch things up just a little bit today and wrap up the week with a little baby-related update. Said baby has much to do with posting being a bit light this week so it seemed appropriate to fill you in on how things are going now that we’re quickly cruising …
Here in our neck of the woods in the northeast, we are transitioning into prime farmer’s market season right now. The squashes, zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes are everywhere. Over the next month or two those will start to give way to pumpkins, butternut squash and all of those winter vegetables we love so much in …
Happy happy Monday, everyone! How was your weekend? Mine started a little early with a trip to IKEA up in Ottawa on Friday. My mother had never been so she was kind of blown away. We had a lot of fun, tackled everything on our shopping list, got to pick up some things for the …
I seriously can’t get enough of all the peaches popping up right now at the farmer’s market and the local grocery stores. I find myself wanting to bring more home just about on the daily. They’re so darn good just to snack on or grilled, roasted, worked into salads, whipped into cocktails, you name it. Today …
There are few things that say “summer” quite like watermelon and I’m a big, big watermelon fan. I like munching on it fresh off the rind, I like it juiced into cocktails, I like watermelon print plastered all over, well, everything. So today we’re keeping with all things summery and crafting up these super cute …
Hi, friends, and happy Monday! A quick post this morning to talk about baby talk. As in, tell me what you want! Considering this is my first time growing a human and therefore such matters have previously been largely irrelevant around here, I’d love to know what you’re most interested in my sharing over the …
Howdy, friends, and happy Friday to you! Is anyone else really ready for the weekend? I had a long meeting yesterday that totally wiped me out (definitely one of the finer joys of being pregnant) so today I’m looking forward to some down time over the next couple of days. Next week I thought I’d …
Last week on Instagram I shared a little peek of today’s DIY project so I’m excited to share it with you! This is one of those DIY ideas that I love best. Simple, fun, easy to do and seriously so cute when it’s all done. Somewhere along the way I amassed a whole bunch of wooden beads, …
Happy Monday, everyone! How was your weekend? Mine consisted of unpacking more and more boxes, plus a fun little birthday party for our niece at the beach yesterday. Our weather has been really hot and humid the last week, which has me daydreaming about all the tropical things. Sea breeezes. Frozen drinks. You know, all …
