Behold BHLDN

BHLDN is a new store rooted from one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie. Wedding gowns, hair accessories, shoes, and much more can be found at this adorably charming online store. The attention to detail inspires me and the gorgeous gowns make me want to be a bride again
(of course, to the same groom!).

Here is a fraction of the beautiful items they have...

Charlie, My Valentine

I'm sorry for neglecting my blog.
It's Charlie's fault.
How could you resist this furry face?

Back In the Day - Stevie Nicks

I am in awe of this video for two reasons.
1) This completely impromptu & so pretty sing-along gets me every time (I've watched this video at least 15 times).
2) 1981 is literally 'before my time' & how great does Stevie Nicks look?

Enjoy!

Superbowl Super Snacks

I had to share my Mom's homemade cheese ball which she made today and will be taking to a party. Her creative wheels were spinning and she made the cheese ball into football form. Although I won't be enjoying this particular cheese ball (due to it being 2 hours away!), I will be enjoying a homemade pizza, chips & dip, and veggies & dip. When it's Superbowl Sunday, snacks are mandatory! What will you be enjoying?

Will you be my...

V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?

Who wouldn't love this gorgeous arrangement of flowers?
Don't they put the dozen-roses-with-babies-breath to shame?
Men of the world - take note!

Treats are nice for Valentine's Day, too.
This crate full of goodies would make anyone
feel warm & fuzzy...and hungry!


A coworker introduced me to the website "Olive & Cocoa".
These gifts are from the website.
They have really nice floral arrangements, gifts, etc.
which, I'm warning you, are not cheap.
At the very least, their gifts will inspire you.
I heart Valentine's Day.

Dream A Little Dream

I recently came across this home online that I absoutely LOVE.
The Monkey Cottage is located in Sun Valley, Utah.
This house is over the top. I keep looking at it in amazement.
I must share the photos...it is just gorgeous!

Cake By Numbers

Looking for the perfect theme for your next birthday party?
Go with numbers! 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 0r 100...
I like the idea of the age being the focus of the party.
The theme can easily be incorporated into the
decorations, cake, invitations, etc.

This number cake was created by using a stencil
from www.marthastewart.com and cutting
the numbers out of sheet cake(s).
M&M's were used to decorate the outside.
This cake looks great because the pattern of colored M&M's
is perfect and covers almost every inch of both cakes.
It looks bright and fun; I'd definitely take a piece!
