yellow ranunculus on my coffee table I’m planning on laying low this weekend. Perhaps I’ll be spontaneous and go out one night but as of now, my plans include some wedding crafts and other planning activities. Who knows, though–I heard it was supposed to be warm on Saturday, so I can’t promise that I’ll stay […]
The best part about winter is that citrus fruits are in season. I loved eating grapefruit for breakfast as a kid and I remember that my mom would keep a crate of them in the garage to in order to keep them cold (they took up too much room in the fridge). Supposedly, winter is […]
a generous piece for me Last week, I tweeted that my sister sent me this Martha Stewart recipe to make for dinner that night.

stacks of biscotti Did you know that biscotti means “twice-baked cake” in Italian? Neither did I until I was looking up recipes for it last week (recipe here). In fact, it came as a huge shock to me that I would need to bake something twice that I almost didn’t go through with it. I […]

I like a pop of color once in a while, but my short-term plan is to start incorporating brights into my wardrobe. I’m truly inspired by […]
invitation + response card wrapped in a tidy bundle Spring is slowly emerging, which to me, can only mean one thing: the wedding is nigh.
