For the past two years, I have been holding a pumpkin carving party prior to Halloween. It’s a great event for everyone to get together, eat, drink and show off their creative sides, AND you get to leave with your very own pumpkin. Here’s how I threw it together… Food: Chili bar with toppings: I recently went vegetarian, but am known for having delicious chili at my fall … Continue reading the pumpkin princess
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, even though I suffered severe legal consequences after dressing as a party animal one year. Each February I start planning my costume for the year, and each October it pays off immensely. It all started when I decided I needed to be Kesha. I ordered a terrible blond wig, covered myself in glitter, and my love for … Continue reading omg halloween
I am not a morning person at all, yet I have chosen a career that will force me to wake up early every weekday morning for the rest of my life. With my schedule getting more and more hectic, a nice cup of a coffee is sometimes the only thing that drags me out of bed in the morning, so I decided to create a coffee … Continue reading coffee break
In my mission to create a Mecca out of my craft room, I have been on a quest for organization and storage. Everything in the room needs a spot to call home and can NOT just be lying around somewhere. And also, everything must be cute. Who knew I was such a dictator? I’ve also been trying to remain environmentally friendly by upcycling and repurposing … Continue reading rollin with the homies
I thought for the holiday I would post a super easy, healthy snack to bring to a party or just to make for fun. It’s all over Pinterest, costs about $5 and takes less than 10 minutes to assemble. You need: 1 package strawberries 4 large bananas 1 cup blueberries 10 bamboo skewers 1 cup water mixed with juice from 1 half lemon … Continue reading happy 4th of duh-ly
My love language is gifts. I love picking out the most perfect present for someone, and I judge my relationships based upon the items purchased for my birthday or Christmas (or graduation, 12/2015…) Over the past year I’ve been cleaning out my house which is full (and I mean full) of my mom’s possessions from the last 40 years or so. One of her collections happened … Continue reading the greatest female wrapper
I hosted an adult game night at my house (get your mind out of the gutter) and it was surprisingly easy to put together. We had a ton of fun, and it brought out everyone’s bloodthirsty competitive side, which is always good for a party. Decor: Many game nights that I looked at online had a red and black casino theme, but when I … Continue reading game on
Ah springtime…budding flowers, warmer weather, and bridal shower after bridal shower. My wedding will not be anytime soon because I require the $15,000 Tiffany Soleste Halo engagement ring, but I do have a lot of slightly less high-maintenance friends getting married this year, so I live vicariously through them. Banner: When my friend Jill told me the banner she wanted to order for her cousin’s … Continue reading april showers
I love cooking with fresh herbs, but they can be so expensive at the grocery store and even the local farmer’s market. Plus isn’t it a pain when you just need a few leaves of sage, but have to buy the whole package? I’ve tried to keep indoor herb gardens in the past with no luck– even though I appreciate gardening, I have a black … Continue reading call for a good thyme
Easter is the hot mess of all the holidays, with bunnies carrying eggs, a menu of ham and chocolate and the constantly changing date (seriously…can it just be in April all the time?!?) If you aren’t Catholic, or don’t have kids, chances are Easter is just another Sunday. But for ME, the Holiday Queen, Easter is the perfect opportunity to hard boil a few dozen eggs … Continue reading hip hop
