My little helper and I have been browsing Pinterest lately looking for fun birthday party ideas. (Someone is fast approaching her 3rd birthday and won’t let anyone forget!) When we came across a recipe for “Party Popcorn” it was love at first sight. We love popcorn in our house and the idea of adding a...
I came across a House Beautiful article the other day titled “14 Signs You Decorate Like You Live in Beverly Hills.” First I thought, who doesn’t want to be surrounded by glitz and glam, feeling like a pampered A-lister? I’ll take that any day. Second, I started thinking about how my style has evolved over the years....
We Southerners are full of tradition (and a little superstition) with New Year’s Day being no different. As long as I can remember, we’ve had a specific menu to eat on the first day of the new year, almost a checklist to go by. Our plates were always full of ham, black eyed peas, rice,...

This song has been popping up in so many places that we can’t help but have the lyrics stuck in our head. We may be in the midst of a summer heatwave that challenges any long-wearing makeup, but Selena’s dramatic red lips in this video are more than a little enviable. Check it out. And...
After my super quick mini-vacay to St. Mark’s last weekend, I headed straight for St. Augustine for the Florida Public Relations Association’s annual conference. Between program speakers, networking, tweeting, eavesdropping on seasoned pros, working while I could and squeezing in as much sight-seeing of America’s oldest city as we could in our downtime, I’m so...
Clearly, these ridiculously adorable lunches put my daytime culinary skills to shame (sorry, Em!). I’m usually throwing together the odds and ends of a semi-well-balanced lunch on my way out the door. At least I can aspire to one day pack a mid-day meal with this kind of goodness and style. One day! Take a...
My hubby gives me such a hard time about having my phone glued to my hand around the clock. I may not always know the contents of our pantry, but I have an uncanny ability to participate in almost any activity with phone in hand or a short arm’s reach away. Sure I may be...

I have semi-obsessions with things like social media, typography, gadgets, color formulas, grammar, fashion trends and iPhone apps. Does this sound...
