A little something darling for your Monday morning… {Lattice-Top Blueberry Pie in a Jar} Enjoy it at: a late summer afternoon wedding in a country barn, either as a delicious dessert or a homey favor.

I was on the fence about wedding cakes for awhile…maybe working at a cupcake bakery got me caught up in the trend of alternatives to the traditional multi-tiered cake. With so many wedding cakes looking dated and boring (pillars between the tiers, really?) and tasting dry and bland, I’m sure I’m not the only one […]

As you know, I am back in the craziness of school…my senior year of college, actually! I’ve been trying to stay strong with my blogging, and one thing that is helping a lot is establishing more of a posting routine. Thursday Love Lists have been going on for THIRTY weeks now, and I think it’s […]

We have spent almost every Easter since […]
