Savoring the Sweetest Parts of Life
Today is my childhood best friend’s birthday! Kelsey turns 25 and now is oh-ficially a member of the “25 and older” club. She was really dreading the big two-five, but I have a feeling it’ll grow on her. I decided to put her together a little gift box of sorts. Nothing special, just tiny gifts from the heart, i.e., the best kind. What’s inside? Kelsey recently learned how to crochet and I have been trying to pick up the skill {Read More}
If you’re like me – you’ll do whatever it takes to make a seemingly-ordinary gift unforgettable and special. In this post I talked about a wedding gift I recently gave to a good friend of mine that included a cookbook (Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstach). To make the cookbook a little bit more unique, I created a bookplate using some clear Avery labels I had in my craft stash and Illustrator. The step-by-step DIY is below! Before you {Read More}
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! Whether you’re in love with someone or just in love with yourself (highly recommended), today is a day of showing appreciation. Send a sweet email to a friend you haven’t talked to in a while. Send flowers to your mom. If you go out to lunch, bring back a snack for someone you work with. There are so many ways to show you care – that’s probably why I adore this holiday so much! Let’s {Read More}
My best friend got married last weekend and it was a pretty epic experience. I thought I’d share my gift to the happy couple, as weddings are definitely an opportunity for those close to the bride and groom to be extra-thoughtful. Here’s an interesting twist on a kitchen-themed gift. Sometimes I really have a problem purchasing frivolous gifts. Call me old-fashioned, but I like buying gifts that will be used and hopefully treasured over time. That’s not too much to {Read More}
Whew. You guys. It’s Tuesday and I feel like I have finally caught up on my sleep from this past weekend. As I shared last week, Shelton and I headed west to put ourselves smack dab in wedding central to watch my best girl get hitched. Did you know that Mondays after a wedding-filled weekend are increasingly harder to get through than run-of-the-mill Mondays? It’s true. The wedding (and all the events leading up to Alex walking down the aisle) {Read More}
I don’t know are aware of this or not… but I love to plan. Earlier this year a former supervisor of mine named Tiffany (whom I adore) came to a staff meeting with the fanciest planner I had ever seen… It was all downhill from there. Or uphill, if you’re an optimist like me! Tiffany introduced me to the colorful, organized world of Erin Condren – and I decided that I had to have one of her Life Planners. The price {Read More}
