{Dahlia Blue} turns 2!
I was lucky enough to have two best friends, have two babies, {one each} one year apart. They are the cutest little things, and very fascinating to watch grow into being little humans :) Dahlia turned two on a sunny February day that her mama, Elise {best at being friends with me & best at awesome DIY projects} planned out.

Trying to be Martha…
In the February issue of Martha, there they were….staring at me in all their deliciousness. {Coconut Thumbprint Cookies with Salted Caramel} mmm…. So, naturally I had to make them and say to myself, “I will just eat a couple, then take the rest around to friends and family tomorrow.” Totally justifiying the whole thing. But in reality, I probably ate over half the batch. But WORTH IT! They are amazing and I encourage you to make them yourself. These would ...

Normal reaction to sadness, right? However, Sock Monkey SLIPPERS are ...
{Getting Prepped for 2012}
Practicing the drinking of the champagne… {First} start with at least two champagne glasses… {Pour} slowly and enjoy quickly! I love the idea of a New Years resolution and always ask everyone around me what theirs will be for the upcoming new year, and yet, I have never made one for myself. It gives you a fun reason to better yourself, even if it only lasts a few months, weeks…days :/ But, none the less, it’s a great excuse for ...
These are a few of the {littlest} things!

The Harvest
Ahh…’Tis the season! And the season officially started yesterday with thanksgiving. :) Many of us traveled to multiple family and friends houses, to together, enjoy a Turkey feast!
