Perhaps it’s my inner hippie girl speaking, but I’ve always been a sucker for flowers. I’ll never forget when Volkswagen brought back the Beetle; I was a 12-year-old girl with zero interest in makes and models of cars, but this new Beetle, I loved — largely because it came fully equipped with a small plastic…
Salt Lake City bound
Well, I’m hitting the road, Jack, and heading to Utah (woo hoo tah!). My friends Amber and Daniel left Columbia for Salt Lake City in May, and they’re expecting their first baby in February. Sooooo exciting!!! So I’m heading out to their neck of the woods for a long and lovely weekend of nursery decorating…
Lunch in a crunch
For some reason, lunch has always been my least favorite meal. Maybe it’s because I’ve never been a big sandwich fan. Maybe it’s because we’re usually on such a time crunch. Whatever the cause might be, every day the lunch hour hits, and it sends me into panic mode. Because I work from home most…
Close (en)counters, of the apartment kind
About a week and a half ago, some big news rolled into Columbia (big, at least, by 24-year-old girl standards). Our new Marshalls store opened! Woop woop! I’ve been a Marshalls fan ever since a shopping trip six years ago when I scored a pair of Uggs there for only $13. Sure, I’ve never seen…
No tricks, just treats
When it comes to sugar cookies, my grandma is the queen of the kitchen. There’s something magical about the super thin, perfectly sweetened treats she’s been making since before I can remember, and I bet her grandkids would all agree that her sugar-cookie skills are second to none. Without fail, for every major holiday, Grandma…
Casper meets chocolate
You’ve already seen how we’ve decked our place for the holiday, but everyone knows that at the end of the day, Halloween is really all about the sweet stuff. Martha Stewart made these white chocolate ghosts candies on one of her Halloween specials this week, and I thought they were way too cute not to…
Think outside the jar
Well, they say all good things must come to an end, and I’ve officially scraped the bottom of my Arkansas Black Apple barrel (actually, it was a bag, but wouldn’t a barrel of apples be wonderfully festive?). Round 1 of apple baking included my time-tested and Jared-approved apple pie recipe, which didn’t disappoint. But for…
Someone, call a doctor! (Puppy) parenting 101
For a five-pound dog, Ella’s got ups. She can zip around the house at the speed of light and jump from chair to chair before you know what’s happening. She’s been like this since she was a puppy (just ask our friends who used to laugh politely while she scaled the back of the couch…
If monkeys could bake…
When I was little, my mom passed on two very important nuggets of wisdom. The first was that life is a many splendored thing. And the second? Monkeys don’t eat bananas when they’re full. I’m pretty sure that her main motivation for passing on these sage words was the instant reaction she’d get from me….
