Have a happy Halloween! We’re just having some friends over for chili and spiced cider this weekend. I wasn’t feeling inspired to do the whole costume thing this year. Are you dressing up?

One of our owl neighbors left me a present on the deck this morning—an owl pellet! “Pellet” is just a nice way of saying puke. If you hadn’t already realized that I’m a huge weirdo you will now, because I took pictures and dissected the “pellet” to see what Mr. Owl had been eating. If you’re [...]

My roasted acorns didn’t turn out great, so I tried roasting acorn squash instead. It was shockingly good and so simple to make! Now acorn squash is my favorite fall treat (besides spiced apple cider of course). Just look at the scrumptious puddle of caramel dipping sauce that forms in the center! 1 medium acorn squash, halved [...]

I’ve decided to put all my inside-the-house projects on hold until winter weather hits. It’s too gorgeous outside to spend my days painting the basement instead of working in the yard!

Wouldn’t it be fun to dress up like Audrey Hepburn for Halloween? Although I’d really like to dress like her any day! 1 Sheath Dress from Macy’s 2 Pearl Necklace from Tiffany & Co. (Of course!) 3 Black Gloves from Amazon 4 Oversized Cat Eye Sunglasses from Urban Outfitters 5 Simple Nappa Pump from Bergdorf [...]

This knocked my socks off! (Found via strawberry lemonade)

I have a problem. My studio space is a cluttered mess! I can’t get any work done when it’s like this, but I’m unable to put everything in its place. Argh. I think I have too much stuff and not enough places! I need to make my space more like these… Photos from: desire to [...]

If you haven’t tried a pair of Old Navy’s denim leggings yet, you should. They are incredibly flattering, and every time I wear mine Daniel has extreme difficulty keeping his hands to himself. If you know what I mean. 1 Velvet schoolboy blazer from J.Crew 2 Foil Sequin Tank from Forever21 3 Super-Skinny Denim Leggings [...]

We have several large oak trees, and right now they’re dropping acorns all over the place. With so many laying around I thought I’d try roasting them. Now that I’ve done it, I would not recommend it. It’s time consuming and they don’t even taste that great. They also made my mouth a little itchy, [...]

My friends Becky and Brian are having a kid next month, and she asked me to take some pregnancy photos for them. I had never done a “photo shoot” before, but I have to admit that it was a blast! Isn’t Becky the cutest?
