Rosie’s Birthday Pupcakes
Our little nosie Roise is a whole-year-old today! How can this be? I guess it is true that time flies by when you're having fun! Zac and I both grew up with dogs, but never had full responsibility for one. So Rosie was definitely our first adventure as a married couple and she has taught us a lot. She is seriously the sweetest puppy and has turned into the smartest, yet silliest pup. In honor of her first birthday, I whipped up 6 dog-friendly cupcakes for her to enjoy and share with her friends! ( Yes, I am that crazy dog mom, but she doesn't seem to mind. ) They are full of shredded carrots, peanut butter, honey and sprinkled with treats! How could it get any better than that? Well, other than a steak of course. (: ... [Read More]

Eggshell Planters
Spring has officially sprung and I could not be more excited about it! There is just something about the air changing and everything coming back to life that makes we want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. I am so excited to share with you this fresh idea for your succulent planter. The first time I saw eggshell planters were in a greenhouse in college. Grad students were actually starting their Summer garden with these little guys. Planting the seeds and letting them establish a root system and then planting the whole plant, eggshell and all in the ground. Genius idea, right? Well, I am using that idea and tweaking it a bit. I adore succulents and they are all the rage right now. So, I thought wouldn’t it be cute to display them in a raw setting like this versus a ... [Read More]
Bird’s Nest Cookies
Easter has to be one of my absolute favorite holidays all the way around. For the obvious reason, Resurrection Sunday, Lord Jesus Christ rising from the dead. But also, from the food, switching from heavy, hardy stews to light, colorful salads and shedding the layers of sundresses. It definitely sets the tone for the Spring season! John over on the Preppy Kitchen blog is the mastermind behind these cutie bird’s nest cookies. He whipped them up a few weeks ago and I thought they were the perfect mixture of Easter and Spring, so I decided to make them for our office Easter luncheon this week! The only things I tweaked from John’s recipe was using royal icing instead of buttercream, and I cheated on the eggs by just buying Whopper Robin Eggs versus making my own. (I am a firm believer ...
