It seems the holidays just aren’t the holidays without a little Martha Stewart-inspired craftiness, and this wrapping idea from the woman in blue was actually months in the making. Back in early spring, I watched as Martha and a fellow crafter fashioned amazingly fancy-looking bows of out stiff paper shopping bags on an episode of…
Wrapping Week 2012: Mod Podge Glam
In high school, I think it’s safe to say that my friends and I would have Mod Podged just about anything that sat still long enough for us to grab our scissors and brush. It was the early 2000s, when paper scrapbooking was still the thing, we made posters by hand instead of by computer…
Wrapping Week 2012!
On Christmas morning, there are two very different kinds of people who gather around the tree. There are those who rip open presents and tear off bows, with a laser-like focus on what’s inside. And there are those who peel off tape, untie ribbons and pry back paper with the care of a professional present…
It’s time to meet the blondies
The season of sugar is upon us, and though I fully intend to stay waist deep in an assortment of tried and true cookie recipes from now until the New Year (I promise I will share!), I’m always game for a bit of newness as far as flour and sugar and butter are concerned. You’d…
Beany’s weekly photo project
Last week, our baby turned 1. That perfect little bean who came into the world barely bigger than our bitty-sized poodle, whose newborn cry sounded more like a kitty cat’s meow, who was all eyes and sweetness swaddled snug in a blanket. Yep, that little baby turned 1. Being the photo-taking folks that we are,…
We will be morning people: Cinnamon pumpkin oatmeal
Years from now, when we’re 30-something grownups with real(er) jobs, our own house and a hopping household, I envision our mornings going something like this: 6 a.m.: The alarm clock rings. Jared and I awaken, alert and well rested after eight (yes, eight!) consecutive hours of sleep. 6-7 a.m.: I go for a run, Jared…
A snack for ghouls and goblins: Super simple sweet potato chips
Happy Halloween! Can you believe it’s the end of October already? I know, I know. That “Can you believe it’s already” business is totally broken record speak by now, but seriously, this year has flown by. I’ve been trying to think of something fun to post on Halloween for a while now, but unfortunately my…
Pumpkin picking and the punkin’ snaps reboot
For the second year in a row, Jared and I have been less than successful in taking advantage of the apple utopia that is North Carolina in the fall. I suppose we have an excuse for missing out on the fun last year. We were new to the area, and my pleasantly plural physique tired…
Chilly weather means chili weather
I had originally planned to begin this post with the line, “Fall has arrived in North Carolina!” And it had when I made this chili last week. It was a cool morning, the air was crisp and the leaves were blowing. I think the high that day was 58 degrees. It was beautiful. But you…
