This post was sponsored by Valspar. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that help make The Sweetest Occasion possible! The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is always one where I start thinking about the year ahead.

Happy Monday, pals! How was your weekend? Ours was kind of nutty, but in a totally awesome way. Now it’s the mad rush of work for the next days and then prepping for our big annual camping trip starting on Thursday. We look forward to this trip all year long, but it also kind of …
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 …
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 …
Hey hey! Howdy and happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start. We’re rockin’ it old school today and starting the week with a color palette. I know some of you are huge huge fans of the weekly color palette and others could take them or leave them, which is why …
Happy Monday morning, everyone! I hope you had a truly awesome weekend. To kick off the week, I’m purposefully ignoring the fact that it’s barely 50° this morning (on June 1st no less) and instead talking about this super bright and bold color palette. I love black and crisp white paired with really bright, saturated …
Today’s color palette is all about the perfect shade of daiquiri pink, which is an ode to the beloved coral, and just perfect for summer. Paired with pretty, soft aqua and loads of neutrals, I am really digging this color combination at the moment. I know coral has been trending for quite a few years …
It’s been a bit since our last color palette, so it felt like high time to get on that today. This color palette is matching the weather perfectly at the moment. We’ve had this weird mix of it this week, spurts of torrential rain and high winds followed by loads of sunshine. Yesterday the power …
You wouldn’t know it by the dark as coal skies this morning or the fresh dusting of snow we got overnight, but it’s Easter week! Coincidentally, it’s also my birthday week. As a kid I loved it when Easter fell near my birthday, it was just so much celebration and so much spring all in …
Happy Monday, everyone! It’s the first Monday of spring, so I’m pretty sure that calls for the brightest, happiest spring-inspired color palette that one ever did see. I think this one fits the bill. I posted this image of these tulips, which was a part of this DIY centerpiece post, on Instagram yesterday, and I …
I think it would be foolish to say that spring is almost here, considering we got more snow and freezing rain a few days ago, but ever so slightly I can feel a shift in the atmosphere this week that tells me that spring is on the way. If you live in a climate with …
Friends, this color palette! It’s killing me it’s so pretty. If you aren’t already fully aware, I am obsessed with just about every shade of blue and teal under the sun. Whether you call it indigo, sapphire, turquoise or ocean blue, I’m just crazy for these colors. These are the colors that make me feel …
