Favorite things: Target chair à la neutral

December 16, 2010 By Katrina

It’s probably no surprise to anyone that Target paraphernalia is a staple in our home. From chummy birds to throw rugs, curtain rods to furniture, we do so love a good Target find (particularly those we can snag on sale). Our Target obsession was actually a running joke with my little sister for a good…

Forget long distance; I’m switching to spritz.

December 15, 2010 By Katrina

Forget long distance; I’m switching to spritz.

Remember a few days ago when I was writing to Martha with my list of all the kitchen-y, crafty gadgets that she insisted I get tout de suite? Well my Grandma Smith, who holds the cornucopia of cooking/baking gadgetry within the confines of her kitchen, heard of my yen for a cookie press and immediately…

No time like snow time. No cocoa like hot cocoa.

December 14, 2010 By Katrina

Well, winter has officially arrived in the great state of Missouri. With a few sparkly inches of snow outside and a morning temperature of 13 degrees, it’s cozy-up-by-the-fire kind of weather (or cozy-up-by-the-Christmas-tree for we apartment dwellers with no fireplace to speak of). A quick scroll through my Facebook news feed Sunday morning indicated that…

Cabinet makeover: a porcelain-induced cleaning frenzy

December 13, 2010 By Katrina

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Those are plain old (well, not literally old) Cheerios in the above photo. And no, I did not make them myself. I did, however, eat them for breakfast this morning. And while we’re talking breakfast, here’s a shot of Jared’s morning nourishment. Mmm, mmm, sourdough. Now…

Favorite things: Nice to gnome you

December 10, 2010 By Katrina

Does anyone remember that cartoon David the Gnome that played on Nickelodeon way back in the day (and by back in the day, I mean the early ’90s, for all you shoulder-pad-rockin’, slap-bracelet-wearing folks out there)? The show followed the daily adventures of David and his wifey, Lisa, a couple of 350+-year-old gnomes who lived…

Dear Martha

December 9, 2010 By Katrina

A few nights ago, I watched Martha Stewart’s Holiday Open House on Hallmark Channel (yep, that’s top-notch primetime viewing, pals), which perfectly topped my nearly month-long love affair with all things Martha. Between new episodes of The Martha Stewart Show and daily holiday reruns of Martha Stewart Living, I’m on serious Martha overload (I realize…

I’m dreaming of a white (ceramic) Christmas

December 8, 2010 By Katrina

You can’t put a price on my love of white ceramic, but if you could, $4.99 sounds like a pretty sweet deal. During our last IKEA trip (I know, I know, I keep reliving my latest IKEA experience, but I’m hoping the trail of breadcrumbs ensures I’ll find my way back again), Jared and I…

No bake? No problem.

December 7, 2010 By Katrina

No bake? No problem.

Do you remember the first time you ate a no-bake cookie? When I was little,  my mom could whip up oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles so fluffy you’d think they were pillows (really, my friends were always mega impressed when I pulled them out of  my lunchbox), but no-bake cookies were never her…

Cookiepalooza 2010

December 6, 2010 By Katrina

Cookiepalooza 2010

Three years ago, Jared and I started a holiday tradition with our friends Jon and Rebekah that’s wreaked happy holiday havoc on our tiny smidge of a kitchen. For this now-annual Christmastime event, we go all-out cookie-baking crazy, which means we spend an entire evening (and by evening I mean a solid four-hour chunk at…
