This week is only a 4 day work week for the residents of Utah (aka, me) and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Pioneer Day, the day that the pioneers settled in the state, is on Friday and I intend to celebrate the state holiday with a cool cocktail in hand. (Not exactly very “Utah-esque” of…
Mini Floral Arrangements
I am a total flower girl. No, I don’t want the hubs getting me flowers each week, but I love to have fresh flowers on my table when I have company over or put together a dinner party. It’s a simple way to bring the outdoors in and make things seem fresh. And not to…
Dip-Dye Favor Bags
I’m on a watercolor kick lately. I started out with these cookies a few weeks ago and I haven’t stopped since. Maybe it’s because I’ve realized that I don’t have much skill when it comes to watercolor (at least not yet!), or maybe it’s because everything just looks so pretty with watercolor technique, but either…
Shark Week Cocktail: “Blood in the Water”
It’s FRIDAY! I don’t know about you, but this week has been a doozy for me. Crazy busy schedules, what seems like an endless amount of problems popping up, and various home improvements that all decided now was the perfect time to break down. (Our front door handle was only ONE of the many things…

DIY Fireworks Table Runner
The 4th of July is tomorrow and I’m planning to head up into the mountains to try and escape some of these crazy temps down here in the valley. I’m all for the heat, but 104 degrees is pushing it. Mimosa’s in the mountains. Doesn’t that just sound better? Do you guys have any fun 4th…
Maple Bacon Ice Cream
It’s fun fact time. I’ve been living in Salt Lake City, Utah for the past 20 years (typing that makes me feel really old), but before moving here, I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am still a Canadian citizen and still have a Canadian passport. (Shoutout to all of my fellow…
Fourth of July Poppers
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been ROASTING in the heat these last few days! It’s been above 100 degrees all weekend here and I’ve been making every excuse to stay indoors. Pretty sad that I was longing for summer weather all winter long and now that it’s here, I’m trying to keep cool….
