Valentine’s is my favorite holiday and you guys, I’m not gonna lie. It’s not because of the romance, affection or declarations of love. It’s because everything is PINK & RED & it’s just so stinkin’ cute I can’t take it!! For this year’s first Vday craft I just had to bring back the the doily […]
Cheater’s Crock Pot Chicken & Dumplings
I used How Sweet It Is’ recipe for the crock pot base but as much I desperately wanted to make biscuits from scratch it just wasn’t.gonna.happen. And you know what, I’m sure there’s something to be said for making them yourself but the can-o-biscuit-dough was pretty darn good if I say so & yes, I […]
peacock feather shoe clips
I’m seriously in crazy stupid love with these clips. They’re so irrestibly soft & fuzzy and the peacock feathers are just the most beautiful shades of turquoise, royal blue & jade green. The best part is, of course, that you can clip then on or off. Commitment free trends? Yes, please. The construction of these […]
Little Social Monster

15 minute tortellini soup
I was at a playdate with my girlfriends the other day & we were talking about how we all get sucked in to making ‘kid food’ at dinner. It’s such a slippery slope, make chicken nuggets or mac n cheese for your kids because they won’t eat what the adults are having & beware, you […]
Entryway Makeover: DIY Before & After
Let me just say this, upfront & honest, this project took me MONTHS to finish. First the frame was sitting around empty, then the chair was half painted in the garage, the buffet sat with no hardware…it’s been a work in progress to say the least. Sometimes when I see before and afters I automatically […]
Sweet & Savory Cranberry & Bacon Chili
Mmm, nothing says January like a big bowl of hot chili. I’ve been working on my signature chili recipe for years. I remember I first started when my BFF Brooke made a giant pot of amazing chili in our college apartment. I don’t know if it was because Chick-fil-a was closed after an all night […]
