Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! The office has been buzzing with cupcakes, cookies, flowers, candies and general merriment for the most of the day, so I’m just going to ride that (sugar) high right into the evening. I gave the Red Head his gift on Sunday because I’m impatient, so tonight should be pretty low key. [...]
In just a few hours time, the Red Head and I will be aboard a plan to Chicago to celebrate Christmas with my family and I cannot wait. We’ve got two and a half days of back-to-back family and friend celebrations and then we get to fly back to Minnesota on Sunday to celebrate some [...]
Have you wrapped your presents yet? I keep finding stragglers once I think I’ve finally finished. And I just remembered I have a stash of unwrapped presents back in Chicago to handle tomorrow. They just keep appearing! I’m running a bit low on holiday mojo at the moment so those gifts will probably get the [...]
The best part of all the holiday baking, brewing and concocting, in my opinion, is the smell that wafts through the home. For those of you scratching your head for a last minute hostess gift or a friendly neighbor greeting, look no further than Christmas in a Jar. It will leave their house smelling wonderful. [...]

In a stark contrast from last week, the past five days have fluttered right by and I’m so glad it’s the weekend. We’ve got about 24 hours until 20+ of our friends head on over for a holiday soiree. I’m putting on my hostess hat (and my new dress!) and doing my best to crank [...]
Any big plans tonight, friends? For a Thursday afternoon I’ve got quite a bit on my plate. Hope to catch you tomorrow before the hardcore holiday party planning sets in. I’ve recruited a friend to spend her Friday night helping me cook. Dedication at its finest. Can’t wait to share pictures on the dust settles. [...]
I was working on a post for faucethead creative yesterday about color palettes for the holidays and might to tweak my copy a bit to include deep blue and marigold after seeing this space today. This home nails it. A little dash of Morocco, a lot of character and one crazy cool drum sidetable (that [...]
Erin over at Design for Mankind put together a stellar gift guide for your neighbors and, while everything was beautiful, the sweater mug was too awesome not to share. Can’t you just see yourself sipping hot chocolate out of one? Source: Molla Space
The Red Head and I are throwing a little holiday cocktail party in a couple weeks and I think these Cranberry Mojitos should be included in the bar set-up. Perfectly festive and oh-so delicious, these are definitely happening. Source: We Are Not Martha
