Christmas Shopping

I'm still not quite ready to join the rest of the world on the "it's the most wonderful time of the year" train.
I mean it just got cold.
And I'm still really excited about pumpkin baking & Thanksgiving dinner next week.
Buuuuut... that doesn't mean I haven't done any thinking about Christmas gifts.

For Milo: Fancy bow-tie from Little Blue Feathers of course!

I mean, I can't think of a single reason not to have that.
Oh except for Milo hates when we dress him up...
Well, Milo the pug has a good life: Free rent, free food, naps all day & infinity hugs from Lily Belle.
He can wear a bow-tie for our enjoyment.

For Lily: A custom flapper baby doll a la Aubrey Plays.

I've been loving these sweet dolls for a long time & I think Christmas is the perfect time to splurge.
You send in a favorite outfit your babe has outgrown & she makes you a custom doll.
Precious! And don't worry if you have a boy there are "little dudes" too ;)

And for moi: Cutie turban ear warmer by Salt City Designs.

Now that my hair is super short, I can't really wear a warm hat without looking like a boy (aka exactly like all 3 of my brothers).
In related news, now that my hair is super short my ears get really really cold without a hat!
Enter this knit (crochet?) beauty.
Warm, stylin' & girly :)

Where are you shopping this year?
Don't forget to check out Handmade with a Purpose for wonderful gifts that give back.

(Once again I'm partying in Erika & Beth for Friday Faves & Finds.)

Denver Blogger Meetup Recap

Last Friday Kim organized a total kick-butt Denver blogger get-together.
I, for one, had never been to such a thing... never met up with other bloggers at all in fact.
Oh, except for that one time I saw Kim at a local market and totally ran up to her like,

"Hey girl! I love your blog! And oh your shop. It's soooo cute!!" & she was all "um... thanks!?"

Yes, ma'am it was a little on the awkward side.

But I never let a little awkwardness stand in the way of a good time... or meeting a new fun friend. 

And it's a good thing too.
If I hadn't, I may have never known about this sweet meetup!
Check out all that ballin' swag up there.
I can't wait to get my craft on with all of those paper goodies from Katie at Lemon Jitters!



A big giant thank you hug (I wish) to Leonora of Yellow Heart Art.
If you're not in love with her yet, just head on over to her blog & I just know you will be.
She's the absolute sweetest & her art is CUTE.



I was reminded that the world is smaaaaall folks.
The lovely Anne of Anne Franklin Designs turns out to be friends with lots of my friends.
She also happens to have been at tons of the same markets & shows.
AND she just so happened to be at a good friends house the night Hunter & I accidentally showed up and crashed their book club... because we were headed to a chili cook off & went to the wrong house.
Again with the awkward. I'm serious guys.



Love this cool Colorado print from CAPow!
I'm always up for finding new fun shops & I'm ALWAYS up for free amazing stuff from new shops ;)
You're awesome Crystal!



Last but not least... (actually I saved my fave for last.)
How darling is this cup cozy & coaster hand-knitted by Kirtley of Snowdrift Designs.
Or crocheted? I really wish I knew.
It's hand-made & it's mustard and it makes me really happy & cozy when I'm sipping my coffee.
Good enough for me!

PS these girls are really rad & I'm so glad I got to meet them all!

Buy Handmade!

A couple months ago I made some amazing handmade jewelry purchases.
They arrived quickly and packaged to perfection.
I busted them both out and started rocking them immediately.
And then I decided I should share them with the rest of you.
So I tried really hard to take some decent pictures... the bad new is, I failed.
I just can't seem to take a semi-decent photo of myself. (Fashion bloggers, I applaud you.)
The good news is I'm sharing anyway because I want you to know about these lovey shops (and the beautiful women behind them!)

(Cutest earrings brought to you by Wifey Singer.)

See what I mean?
Cheesy grin + thumbs up = perfection... right?
You totally want to buy whatever I'm selling... right?!
Doesn't matter. Just check out Hannah's shop or her darling blog.
You'll probably get super excited and give dorky thumbs up too.
Or maybe you're way cooler than me.
In which case, thanks for taking the time from your way cool life to read my blog.

(Sweetest necklace by Lovely Little Whimsy.)

This one's a bit better, but mostly just because Lily's in it and she's quite comfortable with the camera.
Try not to be too distracted by that sweet mug (or the scrap fabric I like to call a headband on particularly rough hairdays).
Focus on the cute little copper necklace.
That, my friends is more than just a really cute necklace.
It's one step closer to a new baby for Carina's family!!
You can read all about their adoption on her blog or you can buy beautiful accessories in her shop.
I choose both, but it's totally your call.

So there you have it.
Two more reasons to buy handmade and two more reasons why I take pictures of baked goods instead myself in great outfits.

(I'm linking with Erika today. Becuase she's great too!)

Lovely Little Whimsy: adoption necklaces & a giveaway!

Hey there. Thanks for all of the super encouraging thoughts and prayers!
I love this place and all of you :)
Which is why I have a gorgeous giveaway at the end of this post.
(Sorry, I'm no good at surprises.)
Anyway, Carina is one of my fave blog friends and she's making an appearance today.
She and her husband are adopting and get to meet their baby girl... SOON!
Check out her blog for sure. She's super fun, her kids are crazy cute, and she has a really lovely shop to boot.
I'll let her tell you about her new necklaces that are raising money for their adoption process.
I really hope you can support her sweet family.
Aaaaaaaaaand if you do happen to treat yourself (or someone special) to a lovely necklace...
You get extra giveaway entries.
So get your shop on!

Hello! I'm Carina and I blog over at a punk, a pumpkin and a peanut.

I am mama to three little rascals, lover of vintage and coffee and
chocolate, among other things.

For the last year, my husband and I have been waiting to adopt our fourth
baby. We have two biological boys, and one adopted, and feel so excited to be
adding to the sweet chaos that is our every day.

Two weeks ago we got the call that we'd been chosen to adopt a baby girl due this
August. 
And we are over the moon.

We know that God is already writing our love story with this little peach

and His hand is so evident in the details. You can read more about all of that 
here. The reality of adoption is that it takes a serious chunk of change to make it
happen. Like $25,000 when all is said and done.

We've saved and saved and had a little pancake breakfast to get the ball rolling,

but we are still well away from that number.

We are not ones to ask for something without offering something in return,

mostly because it makes us feel weird.

I've been making jewelry for my little etsy shop for the last few months and

after a lot of thought, I decided to design a few adoption necklaces to help make up
some of the difference.

I am dreaming big here: my goal is to sell 100. My dream is 200.

300 would knock our socks off and put a serious dent in that total.

 Would you consider helping us out?

Spread the word and buy a necklace (or two)...

you'll be helping us bring our baby home, supporting adoption

and you'll even get something pretty in return!

And please come follow along on this super exciting journey -

it's sure to be an adventure!

And now for the totally rad giveaway! 

Carina is giving away this gorgeous necklace to one lucky winner. 

She has one just like it and loooooooves it :) 

You can enter by commenting on who you would give an adoption necklace to.

Hello again! Get ready for 2 recipe posts in 2 days. Cray-zay!
You're going to get spoiled!
Doesn't really count though, because I had some help :)
My friend Ashley from Mister G and Me is sharing a fresh and summery sorbet recipe today.
Yuuuuum! It's so refreshing.
If you haven't yet, go check out her blog too.
She has the greatest party DIY ideas... and the sweetest neice :)

Hi Sugar Mama lovelies!  I'm so happy to be back guest posting today.  If we haven't met before, my name is Ashley and I blog over at Mister G and Me.  I love to share crafty tutorials, DIY inspirations, and tasty recipes.  

I'm sharing a recipe for Pink Grapefruit sorbet today.  This recipe is super easy and it will make your whole house smell like fresh grapefruit and sweet, sweet goodness!  This is definitely a "make again" recipe!  Nothing is more refreshing than homemade frozen treats-- especially on a hot summer day!!  

Combine zest of 1 pink grapefruit, 3/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir to dissolve sugar, and boil for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes.  Strain into a medium bowl; discard the zest.  Let liquid cool to room temp, then stir in: 3/4 cup fresh pink grapefruit juice.  Refrigerate until cold, then pour into an ice cube tray.    After your cubes freeze, pulse in a food processor or blender until smooth.  Enjoy!!! 

Fiesta Friday {Baking Party}

So last night I was watching Cupcake Wars and dreaming about how amazing (and by amazing I mean totally stressed out & awkward) I would probably be on that show.
Anyway, I looked up one of the bakeries that was competing and saw that they offer baking parties at their bakery!

That is SO fun!
And that reminded me of these super awesome rolling pin invites I saw once on pinterest...

Source: jacolynmurphy.blogspot.com via Ashley on Pinterest

Which got me searching "baking party".
Which basically overwhelmed me with cuteness & fun.
But really what I'm trying to say is I found a darling party to share with you today.
I mean really really stinkin' cute.
And honestly, I don't think you have to be 3 to enjoy this party... I'm 26 and seriously considering hosting one soon.
I posted my faves here but you should definitely head over to Our Daily Obsession for more of Ava's Birthday Bakeshop goodness!

I'm in love :)
Please head over to Amy's amazing blog and check out the rest of the party!
Also if you want to pin these great ideas, PLEASE pin them from HER blog not mine!
Happy happy weekend :)

How Sweet It Is {Natalie @ Take the Cannoli}

Today is my last love story in the How Sweet It Is series... for now ;)

I've gotten a lot of great feedback and I've had SO much fun doing the series!

So if you would be interested in having your love story & recipe featured please email me.

I'm considering extending it.

Anyway, today is all about Natalie from Take the Cannoli.

Her blog is super sweet & remember that awesome artwork from the giveaway?

Yeah, she's talented too :)

I'll let her tell you a little about her lovely love story and the most delicious looking cupcakes ever!

Who does this punk-rocker think he is? Those were the exact thoughts I had as I withdrew my hand after being slapped away from the chocolate mints.
The Setting: A surprise party for a mutual friend's mom. I say mutual friend but it was some guy I knew from years before who just happened to be the lead singer of HIS band.
It was a catered event and there were chocolate mints in dishes all around. I couldn't stop eating them. I was nervous. Our eyes kept meeting across the crowded room, so I told myself; just stay in conversation with the people you know, keep hand in bowl eating chocolates to look casual and everything will be fine.

He overheard me tell someone that I must stop eating all these chocolates and took it upon himself to come over and slap my hand as I went for more.
With the thickest southern accent I had ever heard (in real life that is, I mean I live in SoCal and he was like the beverely hillbillies in the flesh) he said, "That is enough for you Missy!"
I was flabbergasted. "Excuse me" I blurted in the most unflirtacious way possible because I was taken off guard. "I mean, what did you say", smiling at him trying to come back into reality which meant I was talking to him face to face. He didn't acknowledge slapping my hand but instead asked "What college do you go to?" What College do I go to? Who asks that? With an accent like that I knew he wasn't from around here and wouldn't even know of any local colleges.My response was smooth as I let him know I was 19 and that if he wanted to know how old I was he should've just come right out and asked.
The witty banter continued for a good 15 minutes or so but it felt like I had talked to him all night. My head was spinning afterward. He was so funny, so different, so sweet. Though I could hardly understand most of what slurred through his lips I remembered laughing at everything that came out.

I stalked, I mean, I kept in contact with him over the next seven months while he was on and off tour. During one of his short breaks back in California we hung out. Just he and I, and I knew I was going to marry him one day. We didn't officially "go steady" until he called me a week later from tour and he asked me to be his girlfriend over the phone. I felt like I should have gotten to wear his class ring or something because he was so old fashioned about it. HAHA!

Fast forward six months into our relationship as we were driving out to his family's house in a small town called Ruidoso, NM to celebrate Christmas. The whole drive there (13 hours to be exact) he had me convinced that he wanted to finish up another big tour and complete his degree before even thinking about getting married. I remember kind of being crushed and wanting to turn back home to celebrate Christmas with my family and friends. It was only a day later, Christmas Eve 2002 in front of all of his family (parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents) that he had saved the last gift for me. Feeling uncomfortable in a new setting for the holidays I didn't pay any mind to the fact that they were "pretend" recording us opening gifts throughout the evening only to really catch on film what was about to take place. I hadn't even noticed that Micah was on one knee, but instead thought he was just all up in my business while trying to open the said "special gift". I pulled out a Clear Christmas ornament that he had purchased from Disneyland that had the word "princess" inscribed on it. I didn't even see the ring hanging down inside of it until he nervously started to pull it out.
Now picture me; Deer in Headlights. Turned into blubbering mess, barely got the word Yes out and then continued to cry while calling my mom who already knew (now it all made sense why she let me leave for the holidays in the first place).

Four months later, on May 10, 2003 I married my favorite person in the whole world. Did you catch all that. Dated six months. Engaged four months. Celebrated our One year of being together a month after our wedding. When you know, you know. Young love, ahhh, so sweet.
Here we are nearly nine years later, one home bought and sold, two precious babies and a Basset Hound, and I am still proud to say that he is my very best friend. We have grown to be so much more. We share each others dreams and create new ones together. We have grown into adulthood together and if I had it to do all over again, I would still choose him.

Natalie and Micah love these Salted Caramel Cupcakes. She even blogged all about them here.

These look absolutely FABULOUS... I think I've got my work cut out for me trying to make them gluten free & vegan, but I will give it my very best effort because now they're all I can think about :)

One box chocolate cake mix and ingredients to make it
4-5 Skor bars
(Heath bars will suffice, but Skors take the cake hehe pun intended.)
Salted Caramel Sauce recipe from good ol' Martha or just get the Salted Caramel sauce from Trader Joe's. ( I blogged about that goodness here you would enjoy that post)
Vanilla Bean Buttercream
(Recipe below)
Squeeze bottle

Bake your cupcakes according to package directions.
When cupcakes have finished baking, Pour the warmed up salted caramel in to a squeeze bottle.
As soon as the cupcakes come out of the oven,
inject caramel into each one.
Then move them on to a cooling rack.
While the cupcakes are cooling it is time to smash the Skor bars. Just leave them in their wrapper and hammer away. Or just crush up in a bowl.
Prepare Frosting
1 stick of butter at room temp
1 lb powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
3 tbls whole milk
pinch of salt
Cream butter & sugar; add milk, vanilla and salt. Mix until thick and creamy and if you want to make it extra special scrape some vanilla bean into it.
After the cupcakes are cooled, frost them with the buttercream sweetness, roll or sprinkle (I totally sprinkle) them with the Skor bar goodness, then drizzle more of the salted caramel crack on top.
Enjoy!

How Sweet It Is {Mary @ Mary in Marriedland}

It's time for another love story :)
I have been SO enjoying sharing all of these love stories and sweet treats with you this month!
Today Mary from Mary in Marriedland is sharing... Actually her husband, James, wrote it.
So sweet :)
Anyway, Mary's blog is precious!
It has been so fun getting to know her & her blog through swapping!
I'm pumped to make those Olive Oil Cakes with Lemon & Thyme too. mm mm mmm!


Exactly five years before I proposed to Mary, she, her roommate, and I drove eight hours from Carson-Newman to Maryland together for spring break. I was headed home to Germantown, and they were headed to her roommate's home in Frederick. Since I didn't have a car that year, I needed a ride home. I met Mary's roommate, Kristen, through a mutual friend, and she agreed to let me tag along. The morning of March 3, 2005, they picked me up outside of Alumni Residence Hall. Kristen and I followed Mary to her house, so she could drop her car off before we left. For the next eight hours, we were stuck with each other, whether we liked it or
not.

Fortunately, we liked it.

After we got back from spring break (neither of us can remember how I got back, but we did not drive back down together) we ran into each other outside the cafeteria, or, as it's known around campus, 'The Caf'. We talked about how we had a good time on the trip to Maryland,
and that we should hang out again sometime. Over the break, I had written a song about Mary. I left it for her anonymously in her school mail box. She was kind of freaked out, to be honest, and thought it was a prank by her girlfriends. When she found out that it was from me, she was very excited. That is when we started hanging out, and that is when our grades started going down. Back then, we spent all our time together, and now we are sharing the

rest of our lives with each other.

Olive Oil Cakes with Lemon and Thyme

taken from: The Pioneer Woman

These are so good! I shared this recipe on facebook when I made them for the first time right after getting married. I wanted to share again and to tell you that these are wonderful for when you want something delicious and comforting. Remember, balance people!

Once they come out, let them cool. Then drizzle the yummy glaze.

\

ENJOY, like I just did!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
• 1-⅓ cup Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Grated Lemon Zest
• 2 whole Eggs
• ¼ cups Olive Oil
• ⅔ cups Whole Milk
• 1 cup Flour
• ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Minced Fresh Thyme
• GLAZE:
• 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
• 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice, Or More As Needed

Here’s what you do:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with melted butter and then dust with a little bit of flour. Pulse the sugar and lemon zest in a blender until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, then gradually pour in the olive oil and milk, pulsing until emulsified into a thin batter, about 30 seconds. Don’t overblend or the cakes will be too puffy.

Whisk one cup flour, the baking powder, salt and thyme in a small bowl. Add to the blender in 2 batches until just combined. Pour the batter unto the prepared pan and bake until the cakes just start to pull away from the sides of the pan and spring back when lightly touched, about 25 minutes depending on your oven.

In the meantime, make the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar, melted butter and lemon juice until smooth, adding more lemon juice if too thick. Drizzle over the cooled cakes and garnish with a thyme sprig.

Fiesta Friday {Ada's Valentine Birthday}

Today I have a special Fiesta Friday feature.

This week I came across Amanda's blog A Lovely Place to Land.

I saw this post about her daughter's first birthday party & I fell in love!

It is a vintage valentine-y, heart filled, sweet-as-can-be party full of DIY goodies.

I asked Amanda to share a little about the party and some of her awesome pictures,

but make sure you head over to her blog to get the DIY details!!

You'll also want to read this sweet post about why it's worth it to go all out for the first birthday party (even if she won't remember it). I love it!

When I started planning my daughter, Ada's, first birthday party, like most mommas, I was very nostalgic. Though I had been told over and over again during my pregnancy and Ada's first months that the time would pass quickly, I had no idea that it would pass in what felt like a heartbeat. That's what inspired the theme "One in a Heartbeat."

It was really important to me that Ada's party give our friends and family an opportunity to pause their busy lives and just enjoy the moment. To achieve this, we created a vintage-inspired photo booth where guests could take time for a family photo or silly shot with friends. We also decorated the tables with notepads and mailboxes where our guests could leave love notes for a time capsule that Ada will get to open on her 18th birthday. From the dessert bar to the play area, every detail was designed to remind our guests that life is sweet and certainly worth celebrating.

How Sweet It Is {Carina @ A Punk, A Pumpkin & A Peanut}

Happy Thursday my friends!
What do you think of the new banner up top?
(Be honest because I'm not that great at design & I can easily go back to the old one... it's just that I widened the blog and the banner didn't fit anymore. So I'm seriously looking for some feedback here. I asked Hunter and he said: "uh...yeah. I like it.")
Aaaaaaaanyway.
It's LOVE story time!!
Ya'll entered the giveaway yesterday right? If didn't, GO! Carina is giving away store credit to her fab shop!
Then come straight back and fall in love with Carina.
She is darling and genuine and so funny. You will love her blog.
Now I will let her get to it and tell us about her sweet mama.

When Ashley asked me to share a story about someone I love and a dessert we share,

so many people came to mind.
I could tell you about my husband, but we don't discriminate when it comes to sweets.
We eat it all.
With my dad, it's chocolate peanut butter ice cream.
My sister: a skillet cookie warm from the oven.
My grandparents: vanilla ice cream with strawberries on top.
My kids: currently, lollipops. Or donuts.

But none of those involve recipes in my arsenal or even require one, in fact.
No, the person I thought of, someone dear to my heart: my mom.

My mom is an amazing lady: filled with love for her family, a giver, super crafty, smart,

a good listener, an encourager, a fellow night owl and reality tv extraordinaire, and one of my favorite people on earth.

Some of my favorite memories growing up include fun nights at home with my mom.

She made everything special - birthdays and skipping school and staying up late to watch movies.

And when we watched movies, we had to have her caramel popcorn.

I remember watching her pull out the air popper, mix up the ingredients and cover the popcorn in caramel.

And then the torture of waiting for it to cool before filling our bowls.

Maybe sneaking a bite or two while it was still hot and gooey.

And now, every time I make caramel corn (which is way too often), I think of those super fun nights at home with her.
The recipe is as easy as it gets, and simple to make gluten free and vegan with the right margarine.

Microwave Caramel Corn

8 cups popped popcorn
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine butter, corn syrup, sugar and salt in a glass bowl.
Microwave for 90 seconds and stir.
Microwave for another two minutes.
Add in baking soda and vanilla, stir well and pour over popcorn.
Stir to coat, microwave for one minute, stir again, microwave for another minute.
Turn out onto wax paper to cool.

Pop in a movie, fill up a bowl or two, and enjoy.

Happy month of love to you all! Hope you can find someone special - a kid, a spouse, a parent or grandparent, a dear friend, a sibling - to share a sweet treat and a sweet moment with.

Thanks for having me, Ashley!

No, thank you Carina!

Ps- all you have to do is use Earth Balance or another vegan butter and this fab caramel corn is gluten free & vegan :) Yuuuuuuuum!
