Friday Favorites

We are heading to the snow for the long weekend.  This is the view from the mountain in Lake Tahoe. Spectacular, right?!!  Looking forward to skiing, being cozy inside, playing family games + using my slow cooker.  A few favorites for your weekend.   Loving Minted’s Valentine’s Cards.  They have so many cuties to choose.

Yummy Celebrations

Happy New Year!

Phew!  How great does a new year feel? I mean as much as I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and everything in between, it sure feels awesome to start a new year.  I love to deck the halls as much as the next gal, but seeing my home cleared out, striped down, free of all that […]
