It’s supposed to be 60+ degrees here in Syracuse today and, I have to admit, I am so ready. Bring on spring! Bright, happy shades of yellow, pink and purple are where it’s at for me at the moment. I’m spending the day today painting and while, I have to admit, neither yellow nor pink …
Wedding ideas
by Jenny Batt Today I want to show you how to make the world’s cheapest party decoration – paper towel flowers! I was decorating cookies when I noticed how nicely the paper towel absorbed the food coloring on the table. When it had a bit of extra water, the color flowed gorgeously, just like watercolors. …
by Jenny Batt Today’s DIY resulted from all the things I have been obsessing about lately – geometric shapes, metallic finishes, leather and twine! You know what they say – diamonds are a girl’s best friend! Today we’re making leather necklace favors for your next girl’s night out! For a little double duty action, just …
This afternoon I’m taking a couple of my favorite kiddos out for a little bowling date while they’re on school break, so I basically have good old fashioned bowling fun on the brain. Don’t you remember how awesome bowling parties were as a kid? I won’t lie to you – I love rockin’ out in …

From garden-inspired vases to cake stands to little place card holders, they have so many great ideas for your next celebration or dinner party. I personally …
For Kelley and Brian, their wedding was all about celebrating their love. Which kind of makes it the perfect way to usher in Valentine’s Day if you ask me. They celebrated at a gorgeous Texas pecan farm and incorporated as many handmade details as Kelley’s craft-loving self could work into the day. From the invitations …
Katie and John’s beautiful New England farmhouse wedding is right up my alley. With gorgeous flowers and pretty romantic touches, they filled their day with personalized details that I just love. They put so much love and consideration into their ceremony, using bits and pieces from both Irish and Jewish ceremonies, even writing sections themselves. …
Good morning and happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I’m feeling incredibly optimistic and upbeat today and looking forward to an awesome week.

Happy Friday, friends! I hope everyone had a great week. I swear I can’t believe it’s Friday again already! I have a busy weekend on deck, hanging out with two of my favorite kiddos while their parents take a long awaited weekend away. There may or may not be an afternoon of Beauty and the …
This week I’ve been all about flirty dresses perfect for a date night and the prettiest accessories. The red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards this past weekend boasted loads of rich, saturated color, which I completely loved. This magenta dress has my heart right now. It’d be equally as perfect with strappy gold heels …
I am so excited about today’s wedding, because the bride, Annie, is a longtime reader. The wedding she and Andrew planned is the definition of sweet and intimate. Andrew, an executive chef in New York City, even prepared the food himself! Both Minnesota natives who coincidentally met in Philly at the airport while traveling back …
