Today I’m sharing an easy and refreshing citrus punch recipe that’s perfect for winter entertaining over on Glitter Guide! You can check it out here. PS – how amazing is this Goodwill punchbowl score? I’m dying to throw a house warming party just so I can use it!  Images by Krista A. Jones

Ohhhh my favorite time of year ! I can’t believe Christmas is next week, ah! I created this White Christmas Sangria for a Glitter Guide post a while back and decided I needed to share it here too. I love a big, mixed drink for a crowd and it’s the perfect cocktail to sip while […]

Wow, what a week! I’m so excited the weekend is upon us and am looking forward to my annual girls holiday party tonight followed by a weekend of holiday shopping and wrapping! There’s nothing I love more than coming up with festive cocktails for my favorite time of year — so when I had the […]

  I created this metallic inspired holiday table for Glitter Guide and it was probably one of the easiest tablescapes I’ve done! I started with my neutral linens which have been on my table since Thanksgiving and added this fun silver garland from Treetopia. I love the neutral palette and sparkly look but wanted to […]

While I was doing some holiday shopping at Target the other day I decided it was time to officially kick off my holiday baking! I love these soft & chewy gingerbread cookies that Trader Joe’s sells and I sought out a recipe that would replicate them. I got lucky on the first try with Brown […]

Just in time for the holiday entertaining season I had the opportunity to try out the new Nespresso Verturoline and let me just say it’s entirely changed my morning routine. With the click of a button I have a frothy cup of fresh coffee ready to enjoy. This machine offers both freshly brewed coffee and espresso […]

It’s the day before Thanksgiving which means you’re probably working hard to finish up your work for the week, packing up your bags and getting ready to spend a long weekend with your family. Of course this holiday weekend involves plenty of cocktails so I’ve rounded up 5 that I’ve created in the past that […]

  Thanksgiving week is here! I can hardly believe it! We usually go spend the holiday in the mountains with Austin’s family, but he has to work this year so we’ll be sticking aroud home with my family. I’m also excited that my cousin who is studying in Chicago is flying in to spend the […]

With Thanksgiving a week away the holiday entertaining season is finally upon us! This time of year can come with stress and pressure as you host dinners and parties – but it really doesn’t need to! If you stock up on a few entertaining essentials you can guarantee any event will be a success. Here […]

Today I’m excited to share the DIY for the easiest napkins that are so versatile you’ll find yourself reaching for them all the time. My mother-in-law made 150 of these babies for our wedding! Can you believe that? They turned out so perfect and were such a special touch. Now I use them all the […]

It’s about that time! I’ve always loved the idea of Friendsgiving — spending time with your close friends before you celebrate the holidays with your family. I’ve partnered with Caricature Wines to share a few tips on hosting your own Friendsgiving this year. Follow my tips, have plenty of good wine on hand and you’ll […]

These recipes are even easier than Friday night pizza – my usual preference for the end of the week, especially now that I don’t have to fit into a wedding dress! They take under 30 minutes to make and bake and also use ingredients you likely already have on hand. These flatbreads would also be […]
