It’s the best time of the year!! Give me all the pumpkins, football, and fall scented candles in the world. I’ve been slowly but surely starting to decorate for fall, inside and out, for the past few days and realized I didn’t have fall wreaths for our front doors, as I had dissembled them and… Read More DIY: Budget Fall Wreaths
I dismissed the whiskey sour for the longest time because, 1. I had no idea what it actually was, and 2. because I stereotyped it as an “old man” drink. But, I ordered one on a whim a couple months ago and have been in love with them ever since. This take on the classic… Read More Sunday Cocktail: Meyer Lemon Bourbon Sour
Like a lot of people, I watched the documentary “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” in a random troll of Netflix last year, and became intrigued with juicing. I started buying as many organic vegetables as I could get my hands on and started juicing everything. I choked them all down twice a day at minimum… Read More Go-To Green Juice
There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot, summer day than a big glass of iced tea or lemonade, or better yet, both! The Arnold Palmer is a classic summer drink, and today we indulged in a grown up, boozy version that was incredibly easy to make and delicious.
Two of my dearest friends are expecting their first baby this coming August, and this past weekend, I was thrilled to be a part of their owl themed baby shower! The mommy-to-be loves owls, and as the gender of the baby is a surprise, the theme fit perfectly with the shower. The weather couldn’t of… Read More An Owl Themed Baby Shower

My taste in drinks has changed dramatically and with the exception of a good margarita, I’m just not into the fruity drinks anymore. But, an experiment today led to a drink that’s just the right blend of boozy, sweet and just a… Read More Sunday Cocktail: Raspberry Lemonade Mimosa
Here in Upstate NY, we’re buried in snow. Literally. I almost lost my car. Unfortunately the snow has taken a literal dump on most Valentine’s Day plans. There’s nothing else to do but stay warm, bake, and drink wine (can my cats pull a sled to the liquor store?) in this house so I came… Read More Valentine’s Day Strawberry and Balsamic Cheesecake
In a fit of seasonal boredom (or I don’t know, maybe psychosis) I decided last week to tear apart my little home office and redo it. In explaining that I thought the room lacked color, and glitter, I also mentioned that I thought it was missing a unicorn. Half joking, half serious, I got online… Read More Possibly the Best DIY I’ve Ever Attempted: Paper Mache Unicorn
Ah. The cheese board. One of the most delicious, fancy-looking appetizers you can make, and almost always mistaken to be difficult. I’ve noticed that cheese boards done right tend to get more attention at events and parties than almost any other appetizers, and I’m a huge fan of making them because once you know the… Read More Anatomy of a Cheese Board
I love planning events for other people, but at the end of the day, there’s nothing that I love more than planning an event in my own home. I’m trying to get in the habit of hosting an annual get-together with my closest friends for the holidays. Last year, we had a more informal (read:… Read More A Budget Friendly Holiday Cocktail Party
