    Are you familiar with Happy Habitat? They are a local KC company that makes throws, pillows and iPad covers in the coolest patterns on the planet. Really. I did my research. Warm, knitted throws  and pillows have never looked this modern. Draped on a couch or folded at the end of a bed, they can…

    Full disclaimer, I was not actually with my kid when these photos were taken. However, this is totally something I could wear with her. These are Saturday clothes designed to go from an early lunch with the family to an afternoon trip to the park. Layers, comfortable shoes and easy clothes are the keys to having…

    I know it’s been warming up over the last few weeks, but I’m going to make the case for pot roast in spring. When the evenings are 70 degrees and sunny, the last thing you should be doing is standing over a stove. Instead, put this pot roast together in the morning and let the slow…

    I made these chocolate cupcakes for my friend Sarah’s Oscar party. The recipe is quite simple, and Martha Stewart, who let’s face it knows a thing or two about cakes, created it. I topped each one with vanilla whipped cream, which is light and so easy to make. The effect is classic and fancy, and…

    Here I am, glamorously watching T.V. in my polka dot socks. This is real life, people, and those socks are comfy. But enough about them, we should talking about what’s in that bowl – pizza popcorn. Piping hot popcorn is tossed with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and extra virgin…

    Amber Interiors via Domino Magazine When it comes to our home’s decor, I’m always working on something. My most recent “project” is a space I thought was mostly done, but now, am rethinking – our dining room. We recently got rid of a hutch that never quite fit the bill. I’ve been looking for a…
