Here’s a great holiday hack – a last-minute holiday centerpiece with pomegranates and rosemary that takes just a few minutes to put together!
When it comes to the holidays, I sometimes spend weeks thinking about the food. I spend hours listing possible dishes, scouring the internet, rewriting my list and grocery shopping. I love picking recipes that you can make in advance, so I even start cooking several days in advance!
Unfortunately, this same organized approach doesn’t always apply to party decor. Even though I’m fine throwing down $50 for a fresh turkey, I’m extremely reluctant to spend that kind of money on table decorations. I’m always looking for ways to keep things cheap – and easy…. Read More »
How to Host a Fabulous Friendsgiving – everything from a copper and navy table design to easy menu ideas, including a spicy cranberry cheese dip recipe!
Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE day of the year. In fact, if I had my way, I’d celebrate it at least monthly all year round!

Succulent centerpieces are perfect for your wedding or party. They are easy to make & you can give them away for party favors (or keep them for yourself!).
In case you’re living under a rock, you’ve heard that there’s a drought here in California. We’re talking lack of water of crisis-level proportions. On a daily basis, Pat and I do everything we can to save water. It’s mostly little things, like letting it mellow, taking shorter showers, and turning off the water when brushing our teeth. Those little things add up though!
Because of the drought, I’ve been thinking of other ways to save water. Fresh flowers take a ton of water to grow, so even though I love them, we’ve been buying less and less. Same with adding new houseplants to our collection.
I’ve really been drawn to succulents – #1, they are amazing to look at. #2, they are hearty and take almost no water to thrive. The internet is absolutely blowing up with succulent DIYs and arrangements.
Even so, I really wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do. The place I found the best inspiration was actually my local hardware store. I checked out Orchard Supply Hardware, which has locations all over the Bay Area and now in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. They had a huge selection of succulents and even more important, the staff was super friendly and full of ideas for how to make the perfect succulent centerpiece for my upcoming dinner party….
