DIY Felt Flower Pins

I was at Michael’s this past weekend getting the rest of the supplies I need to create our baby girl’s Halloween costume (more on that later), when I came across these cute little felt flowers. I thought they would be so sweet made into little pins for the baby’s winter jacket and also maybe aContinue reading “DIY Felt Flower Pins”

Monday Outfit

I found these light eggplant-colored pants (very similar to the ones below) at J. Crew Factory a couple weeks ago and decided they would be my interpretation of this season’s hot color – oxblood. I like red but I’m honestly not sure how I feel about oxblood – you? Anyway, these pants are the perfect,Continue reading “Monday Outfit”

Couple Things…

What are you up to this weekend? We are finally going apple picking which means SO many things… 1. Our baby girl’s first time apple picking! 2. I’ll be making all sorts of apple recipes next week and the week after and maybe even the week after that… 3. Apple cider donuts! 4. We’ll getContinue reading “Couple Things…”

Reverse Peter Pan Collar

I think you may have picked up on my obsession with the Peter Pan Collar trend this season, right? I even did a little DIY Peter Pan Collar for the baby. So imagine my surprise when I saw that designer Honor had reverse Peter Pan Collars in their Spring 2012 line. LOVE! BTW, they call thesesContinue reading “Reverse Peter Pan Collar”

Fall Stew with a Blue Hubbard Squash

So last week we got a blue hubbard squash in our weekly CSA. What is that? Good question. According to Amy Goldman, author of The Complete Squash (sounds riveting, I’ll have to add this to my reading list, ha!) a blue hubbard squash is “described as a ‘starchy, dry, thick, flaky, floury, melting, nutty andContinue reading “Fall Stew with a Blue Hubbard Squash”

Monday Outfit

Happy October! October is one of my favorite months…our baby’s birthday, cool, crisp days, and Halloween with pumpkins, costumes, and candy corn! Anyway, I thought I’d kick off the first day of October with a pre-Halloween outfit. Truth be told, I actually wore this outfit last Thursday as well when I met some friends forContinue reading “Monday Outfit”

Couple Things

It’s going to be a dreary weekend around here (talking about the weather) so I think our pumpkin picking plans may be put on hold… We’re also meeting a potential babysitter this weekend – we may have some date nights in our future, can’t wait! Here are a few fun things from the around the webContinue reading “Couple Things”

First Birthday – Invitation

Over the weekend I finished the invitations to our sweet baby girl’s first birthday…they came out pretty cute! I found a great sock monkey stamp on etsy and this sweet little rhyme for the front by just googling “sock monkey birthday party.” I also finally got to use my little RSVP stamp on theContinue reading “First Birthday – Invitation”

Miss Fancy Pants

I’ve found a great nail polish for the Fall…essie’s Miss Fancy Pants. It’s the perfect neutral too go with everything. PS. It must be a color I really love, I just noticed it’s the same color as the wainscoting is painted in our downstairs bathroom, so I posed the bottle there…

The Best Bolognese

One of my favorite comfort food meals to eat when it starts getting cold is Pasta Bolognese. [Ok, Bolognese is like my favorite meal ever that I eat in the heat of summer too, but just saying…] I have tried MANY different recipes but recently we made the recipe below and I found it toContinue reading “The Best Bolognese”
