This morning we woke up, made coffee and while B made breakfast for us, I finished up a bit of last minute wrapping. We have some things we want to tackle around the house before we have family over tomorrow in the evening for cocktails, cocoa and hors d’oeuvres, but mostly we are trying to take …

It’s really taking me by surprise that Christmas is next week. Next week! I know we’ve been talking about the food and the gifts and the parties for weeks now, but somehow it still found a way to sneak right up on me. I’m so excited that today Andrea, Samantha and Jade and Matthew are here with a couple of …
I can’t believe we’re already closing in on the weekend before Christmas! That happened in a flash, didn’t it? With all flavors of occasions merry and bright occupying most of our schedules over the next several days, I thought a round-up of some particularly festive holiday cocktails was in order. Whether it be channeling your …
Do you guys remember this amazing Christmas shoot that the crazy talented Haley Sheffield shared last year? You guys went crazy for it (as did I) and soon enough it was a huge internet sensation. Not a day goes by that I don’t see those photos popping up all over Pinterest and the free world at large. …
