Valentine's Day ideas
Do you remember the mini Nutella pies we had a couple of lengthy conversations about during the holidays? (Those conversations, in review, basically went on and on about how amazing they are.) With Valentine’s Day coming up, I wanted to put a little twist on that tried and true favorite. So I started thinking about …
Friends, I have hearts on the brain big time this week. You’ve heard me say before that I don’t love the super commercialized version of Valentines Day that I think mention of the holiday brings to mind for most of us. However, I totally love sweet, homemade Valentines Day gestures to show a bit of …
Today’s DIY is one of the simplest things I’ve ever done, but I’m completely in love with these sweet little pipe cleaner heart toppers! I picked up a package of these glittery pipe cleaners at the dollar store while scrounging up extra stocking stuffers over the holidays. They were too cute to not come home. …

Yesterday I told you a little about the sleek and modern Valentines Day shoot I styled for a fun little design challenge over at A Subtle Revelry. Today I’m happy to share the details with you! I collaborated with my girl Megan on this shoot, which never fails to be a great time. Megan is …
Just a week out from Valentines Day, I am officially in love with everything red and pink. For me, I like to strip the commercialism out of Valentines Day and focus on sweet, handmade tokens of affection for the loved ones in my life, which might explain why I love this vintage inspired Valentines Day …
I know we hate to admit it, but with the holidays now behind us Valentine’s Day is swiftly approaching! I have a pretty busy January planned with upcoming photo shoots, a trip to Salt Lake City for the design conference event of the year, and trying to get some organizing projects tackled around our house …
Oh, Paul. The things you do to me. (And my waistline. But we’ll not speak of those.) I’m completely smitten with this sweet and simple cake, the perfect treat to share with someone special. It’s a yummy chocolate cake dusted with powdered sugar using a heart-shaped template cut out of paper. If you don’t have …
