Sometimes Christmas doesn’t need to come directly from Pottery Barn… just use the pages as inspiration and improvise with goodies from the Dollar store.

Someone asked the other day about the Cap’N Crunch chicken. Well, if you’ve never tasted the original restaurant goodness (which just happens to be the only redeaming quality of Planet Hollywood), then you are truly missing out. My mom used to humor me and remake the recipe back in my high school days… [...]
I have a confession. I walked into a Tommy Bahama store this afternoon… and I was immediately intoxicated by the smell in the store. It was the perfect blend of happy and tropical… and it contrasted greatly against the heavy spices in every other store. I was hooked…. and sold instantly on it. And [...]
Don’t worry… my morning cup of coffee is nicely decaffeinated and is limited to one single cup a day. I’d have to say that I wouldn’t be tempted to indulge each morning if it wasn’t the chilly season, or if there wasn’t something equally amazing to plop into my Senseo brew. It must run [...]

Monday nights during the fall are usually reserved for comfort food and homemade pizza… in other words, food that goes well with football/HIMYM/Castle watching. It’s definitely our night of TV indulgences from 6pm on… and not really a sit-down and enjoy a difficult meal kind of night.

I’ll have to whisper about this gift, but I’m pretty sure I can see a couple of them headed back east for certain people. The tutorial at Living with Lindsay makes this project even easier than it appears to be!
This year… in order to really get into the holiday spirit, I’ll be hosting a handmade holiday card swap here on the blog! Participating will be really quite simple! Just create a batch of homemade holiday cards in any DIY-way that you’d like, send them off to me en masse, and I’ll send back 10 [...]
I know a few couples that hate taking photos of themselves when they’re on vacation. It’s usually because they don’t like the “long-armed-self-photo” look (this would apply to Mr. M — but he tolerates them) or hate asking others to snap their shots for them. [...]
It’s a simple gift with so much room for modification! These little mini photo calendars (photoshop template here) designed by shutter sisters are the perfect gift that everyone can use and appreciate all year long!
