    holiday gift guide : for the kiddies

    Whether you’ve got kids of your own, a little niece or nephew, or there’s some other child in your life that you want to spoil, these gifts are all super fun but tasteful too!

    what kid wouldn’t want to snuggle up with a deer?! no kid, that’s who. deer pillow from areaware / these slipper boots from garnet hill are so cute and fun, and have a ton of different animals so you can get different ones for the siblings and they can fight over whose is better / you want the kid to be obsessed with you? get them their own teepee from the land of nod / a classic game like twister, you used to play and might still be willing to / an adorable little apron for the sous chef like this one from anthropologie / this tricks and magic kit from house 8810 will keep them entertained and most likely you too (if they’re good with it) / you might regret it, but a squeezebox (you might call it an accordion) would be super fun for a few minutes at the very least / i’m loving the illustrations in this childrens book i want by hat back

    holiday gift guide : for your mom

    I don’t know about yours, but my mom is super hard to buy for. Sure, she likes pretty things but most of the time she receives gifts and stores them away forever. It always takes a lot of thought to come up with something she might actually use, therefore items have to be EASY to use right off the bat.


    personalized stationary from minted is undeniably perfect for any woman, when will you not use beautiful stationary with your damn name on it? / a gorgeous jonathan adler candle like this one will not only be functioning but you can just keep it on your desk for a touch of beautiful / a pretty iphone case like this one from anthropologie is a sure thing if she immediately attaches it to her phone / a beverage warmer from brookstone can be easily placed on her desk for a constantly warm cup of joe, easy peasy and totally necessary / a very cute pajama shirt she can throw on like this polka-dot flannel pj shirt from j.crew / a beautiful coffee table book for her to swoon over such as the kennedys: photographs by mark shaw (what mom doesn’t love the kennedys?) / an adorable polka dot passport holder from kate spade might even inspire her to travel / a unique kitchen addition like this schmidt brothers knife block set from west elm (totally want for myself) / a fun pair of leather gloves like these from anthropologie, she can’t not wear them, right?

    platner chairs

    My grandma has owned her platner chair for probably 40 years now – she moved to Florida and now it’s getting passed on to me! It’s a yellow lounge chair, and apparently needs reupholstery so I’m thinking maybe a charcoal gray. Oh man I’m excited.

    holiday gift guide : for your dad

    OK THANKSGIVING IS OVER GUYS. That means it’s time to start buying presents! First up – one of the hardest people to buy for is your dad and you know it.

    most dads love baseball and really long ken burns DVDS always seem like a good choice so here is the baseball: a film by ken burns dvd  / a super nice dopp kit like this one from banana republic any dad would like filling with nose hair trimmers / a classy tie they wouldn’t pick out for themselves like the augusta stripe tie from jack spade / also from jack spade, i love these good grief cocktail glasses / for the dad that cooks or bbqs or just loves meat, lobel’s meat bible will teach him everything he doesn’t know / a slick huntsman swiss army knife could never go wrong / very handsome playing cards from best made co. / this wooden miniot ipad case works super well and looks super good too (the boyfriend has it).

a week of food, pretty views of water, and ARLO CA a week of food, pretty views of water, and ARLO CAMP! ⛺️ you gotta swipe all the way through for the full tour it’s incredible
#MMS_Partner some sweet little easter ideas to cop #MMS_Partner some sweet little easter ideas to copy! here are a few cute and VERY kid-friendly spring get together ideas with @mmschocolate because it’s way more fun to do together! 

🥚decoupage easter eggs 🥚you can make the prettiest cardboard or paper mache eggs with whatever design you want, no art skills required. separate the napkin plies from the top layer, trim out the pieces you want to use and then apply adhesive with a brush, smoothing to prevent wrinkles! i’m obsessed with how these came out!

perfect for table settings or your egg hunt! (i like to fill our egg hunt eggs with pastel M&M’S® for a fun little surprise!)

🥚birds nest cookies 🥚 these are so easy, nostalgic and actually shockingly delicious. my kids LOVED helping and the messier the better!

— in 30 sec increments, melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips, ½ cup butterscotch chips and 2 tb peanut butter together in the microwave until smooth.
— mix in 2½ cups cooked chow mein noodles (sub pretzel sticks if you can’t find)
— scoop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and carefully place a couple M&M’S® Peanut Pastel Blend Eggs on top
— let set for 3 hours

🥚pastel M&M’S® centerpiece🥚using whatever you’ve got at home, put a smaller vase or vessel into a larger one and fill in between with M&M’S® Pastel Milk Chocolate Blend, carefully add water to the inner vessel and flowers. pick whatever you’ve got growing outside (hopefully!) all the twigs and wildflowers welcome, it’s spring after all. 

(such a dream partner! i mean i’m practically named after M&M’S®! lol)
i’m SO hard on myself for my productivity levels s i’m SO hard on myself for my productivity levels so i have to constantly remind myself that i’ve still done plenty to the house even if most rooms aren’t pretty yet! 

some little things we’ve done around the house lately — baby steps!!!! how much better are the ceilings!??!!
a cute little way to make baking cookies with your a cute little way to make baking cookies with your kids special! divide a little dough, enough for one or two kids and let them have their way with it 😆

my kids put smashed up candy cane, marshmallows, jam, sprinkles into their custom cookies— they may technically turn out quite gross but it’s really cute!!

back home, back to sorta the opposite of beach wea back home, back to sorta the opposite of beach weather but the snow is all melted now and izzy was asking to come back to connecticut so she can eat couscous again lol 

and we got a new chair for the living room!

the old me would never choose a dark leather chair, but I’m so happy i did! the room was feeling so cool toned but it added a lot of warmth to the corner. still need to paint the window trim and add shades, yes still talking about it!
hi!!! we spent a few days unplugged, in paradise, hi!!! we spent a few days unplugged, in paradise, away from winter!! omg i needed this.
