Confession: I'm Staying In On New Years Eve
Yeah, I know… lame. But I’m actually looking forward to it. Andrew and I are going to a really nice dinner, we’ve stocked up on champagne and we’re excited about a warm, snuggly night in.

Little Love Birds
Last night we went out for dinner and drinks in Jupiter, FL with the newly-engaged Margaret and Zack. They are such a cute couple and I loved hearing all about their recent engagement on Christmas Eve. Here are a few pictures from when he popped the question: Ah gives me goosebumps. I’m so happy for you two!

The Flight Before Christmas →
littlelaur: The NYTimes Practical Traveler offers advice on how to avoid the cancellations, delays, and other airport problems that could ruin your plans. I’m taking note… Good tips. If I don’t get to the beach on time, I’ll be madder than an old wet hen.

Call Me Paula, Paula Deen
Being snowed-in all day and night yesterday inspired some serious productivity in me today. Not letting the weather stop me, I set out on a number of errands, last minute gifting, and some crafty cooking. Lia joined in on the fun, too. I made 7-Layer Cookie Bars. They’re TO DIE FOR (and easy). Thanks for the recipe, Jenn! Lia made homemade Basil Pesto Sauce, which after some doctoring,...
