Can we all agree that men are really difficult to buy gifts for? Men’s gifts tend to lean on the expensive side and can also feel more like necessities. For years I showered Tyler with a variety of “fun” gifts. After our move this…
Tomorrow we head back to the West Coast after a 3-week long stay in Buffalo with family. I don’t know about you, but if I had house guests for 21 days, I’d literally be tearing my hair out of my head ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Add a toddler…
This post is NOT sponsored by Amazon. I’m just a little obsessed with their lists, okay? No matter how much you love the holiday season, it’s probably fair for me to assume you’re so very over gift buying. It could be the cost or…
I’ve been taking some baby steps into being a little more crafty these days. I tend to get frustrated when things don’t work right for me the first time, and life with a 7-month-old doesn’t really allow for all the time that comes along…
Every time my birthday used to roll around I could practically hear Tyler groan, “Ughhhh, what am I going to get her?” From my perspective I’m easy to shop for. I like pretty much anything: a homemade gift, thoughtful card, food, clothes, knick-knacks –…
I’ve been feeling some serious wanderlust lately. Before the baby arrived, Tyler and I were adventurers – whether locally or internationally. All in all we’ve traveled to 15 countries together. My next bucket list location is Iceland and his is to head back to…
Life with a baby and a career has been a huge adjustment. Before Fox I lived a fast-paced lifestyle as the editor of not one but fourteen magazines. This in-office job kept me on my toes while under the constant deadlines of seven magazines…
I have to admit that when it came time to do the cake tasting for our wedding, I was just along for the ride. I was not a sweets kind of girl and I would often request a birthday pie instead of a cake.…
I have a confession to make: I am grossly obsessed with coffee table books. Big ones, small ones, thin ones, thick ones… heck I don’t even care if it’s solely about 1991 Dodge Spirit carburetors. I love them all. When I still lived in…
Remember Tom Hanks’ character in You’ve Got Mail? He said, “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” Well yes,…
A couple weeks back I got a Facebook invite for my 10 year high school reunion coming up this October. Huge reality check! I could not even believe it had already been 10 years since I graduated and headed off to college. This is…
We’ve all been there. Moving into a home can be just as much overwhelming as it is exciting. My husband and I have a habit of inviting my parents to fly in from across the country to visit within three weeks of moving. Even…
If you ask me how many cats I own I will avoid the question and possibly put my fingers in my ears while humming loudly. I’m totally hanging my head in shame as I type this. Alas, I love them and am kindred with…
Little girls, teenagers, and women of all ages love to be decorated in jewels. But sometimes jewelry is so expensive which makes it harder to gift. One of my favorite things to do for my girly friends is to assemble a ring display with…
From greenhouses to gardens, we all know someone who has that special touch when it comes to turning seeds into sprouts. These outside-the-box gifts will help to inspire your favorite green thumb. Forest Critter Garden Pot $18/each | Sarah Burwash | Purchase at…
