My New Favorite Top Coat

You know I love me some sparkle nails, right? But sometimes you need a sparkle that’s a little less, well, sparkle-y. I came across the perfect sparkle top coat that gives just the right amount of sparkle for every day life when it includes work, meetings, and toddler music classes (my days are all vastlyContinue reading “My New Favorite Top Coat”

Gift Guide – Valentine’s Day

I love Valentine’s Day, always have – even in those years when I didn’t have a special valentine and I would “celebrate” with friends and wine. I think it’s fun to have an excuse to wear red and hearts, an excuse to make cute cards and crafty things, and an excuse to get your sweetieContinue reading “Gift Guide – Valentine’s Day”

Cookie Butter Ice Cream

Ok, let’s talk about Cookie Butter for a minute. I had never had it until Santa brought me a jar in my Christmas stocking and we opened it a couple weeks ago, remember? According to the Trader Joe’s website (the only place you can buy Speculoos Cookie Butter) it’s the #2 selling item in theirContinue reading “Cookie Butter Ice Cream”

Couple Things…

We played a little go fish with my niece as we sipped s’mores hot chocolate on our ski weekend. Warm enough for the playground on Monday! I ordered my husband’s Valentine’s Day gift and it came in the mail this week with this little heart sticker. The secret to a happy marriage? Ordering 1/2 andContinue reading “Couple Things…”

Maternity Style

I’m just going to come out and say it – it’s hard to be super stylish when you’re pregnant and getting bigger by the day. Maternity clothes (generally speaking) define frumpy-ness. A lot of maternity wear is poorly made, cheap quality, and (ironically) overpriced. I learned a lot when pregnant with my Z, so IContinue reading “Maternity Style”

Z Style – Ski Weekend

As you read yesterday, we went on a little ski trip over the weekend and I of course had to dress my Z accordingly, even though she wasn’t skiing at all (next winter, though!). Anyway, I had found this great cozy sweater and thought it would be perfect for freezing cold days and on skiContinue reading “Z Style – Ski Weekend”

S’mores Hot Chocolate

Picture it…you’re a kid, it’s been snowing all night long, and you wake up to the announcement of a snow day, what’s better? Then you go outside to sled for hours and it’s not until you step inside, take off your boots and coat that you realize how freezing you’ve been while outside sledding. LuckilyContinue reading “S’mores Hot Chocolate”

Couple Things…

New Year = New Planner! I love the momAgenda and this year’s is animal print! The gilded Paper Source wreath now hangs on our front door (without the Thanksgiving note). Santa brought nail polish, now her toes are pink. If you live in my area, have you seen the fish car around? I got gasContinue reading “Couple Things…”

Thank You Note

I like sending thank you notes. Mostly because how exciting is it to receive real mail these days, right? Other than the many cards received around Christmas there’s not much personal mail anymore. So, since the most gift-giving time of year has just come and gone I thought it was the perfect opportunity to shareContinue reading “Thank You Note”

Pantone Color of the Year – Radiant Orchid

It’s always fun to see what the Pantone Color of the Year is going to be – have you heard? For 2014 it’s Radiant Orchid which is a fancy name for light purple. I thought I’d scour the internet and find some fun fashion items out there in this bright purple-y/pink that will be greatContinue reading “Pantone Color of the Year – Radiant Orchid”
