How to Make Your Own Whimsical Abstract Brushstroke Birthday Cake
Scrolling through Pinterest and pinning all kinds of ideas to my Pinterest boards in order to find magical and whimsical inspiration for Little Wonder’s first birthday party – a ONEderful First Birthday Party, I came upon this beautiful cake with abstract brushstrokes of icing and a fun color combination of teal and pinks, yellows and periwinkle blues.

How can so much be held within the delicate boundaries of a piece of paper? It is the wonder of a photo! I want my home to be filled with wonder.

Drying Fresh Herbs
Fresh, home-dried herbs add such a depth of flavor to your cooking throughout the long winter months that can be hard to get with store-bought herbs. What is better in the middle of winter where the snow and ice just never seem to stop than a dish that tastes like you brought it straight from the herb garden?! You also will save a quite a few dollars and have a relaxing fall activity, whether you can get fresh herbs from your own garden, a friend, or your local farmers market. If you don’t have your own herb garden, plan one for this spring – the plants usually come back year…

Halloween ‘Boo!’ Bags
Halloween – I love Halloween! Memories of picking what I would dress up as (most often a witch) and getting ready that All Hallow’s Eve, going with my mom and meeting our family friends with excitement and a feeling of something magical to come, bundling up and crunching leaves underfoot while we sought out those small little lights on each porch that beckoned us to come and TRICK or TREAT, knowing which houses gave sweet, sticky popcorn balls and which were too scary to go up to alone. I was mesmerized by this one specific house with glass windows all down its front that lit up on that dark night.…
