Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas ...
Published on Sunday, February 12, 2012 by caryn Last weekend, I perused Beverly Hills with some of the bloggers flown in to LA for a press junket and screening of the soon-to-be released film The Lorax. As we walked up and down Rodeo Drive, I admired the very expensive jewelry and thought about how long it had been since I received or purchased jewelry for myself. I love the feminine touch a pair of earrings, nec... Read More » -

Published on Friday, February 10, 2012 by caryn Love is in the air! February is the month devoted to showing those closest to you how much you care for them.

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea: DIY Cookie M...
Published on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 by caryn One of my favorite ways to celebrate a holiday (even if it's a minor one) is to bake. I love experimenting with recipes and exercising my creative side. This year, I thought I'd combine my love for baking with my somewhat crafty side and experiment with some DIY Cookie Mixes neatly packed inside a jar. This isn't an entirely original idea, but I thought I'd put a... Read More » -

Destination Hershey!
Published on Friday, January 14, 2011 by caryn As a child, vacations staycations were integral to our family. I can remember many weekends spent in Malibu, strolling the shoreline, shopping, and fishing (indeed!). Apart from our trips to New York to visit family, I hadn't taken many trips across the country until I was an adult. I dreamed of Europe and the tropics...set my sights on historic DC and snowy Col... Read More » -

Valentine’s Day Baking With McCormick
Published on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 by caryn One of my favorite things to do is bake. My husband always encourages me to go bake when I'm feeling stressed. I like using my creativity to make something that looks and tastes good. And my son is quickly becoming the little baker himself. He is my right hand when it comes to making pancakes, muffins, scones, and cupcakes. Today, my son and I made "Love Bu... Read More » -

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea: New Sweethe...
Published on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 by caryn I remember giving and getting Sweethearts Candies for Valentine's Day as a child. Now, I'm not one to advocate giving candy to children, but every now and then I allow it with my son (It doesn't help that I have a sweet tooth). If you grew up with them, like I did, then you're familiar with their fun love-themed sayings. I didn't know this, but for the last 145 y... Read More » -

Published on Monday, February 8, 2010 by caryn I couldn't finish my Valentine's Day gift ideas without telling you about my favorite kind of candy...chocolate! If you can believe it (I can't believe I'm admitting this), a day doesn't go by that I don't eat chocolate in some form.

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea: Sweeping He...
Published on Monday, February 8, 2010 by caryn I always thought the phrase went something like this: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." In all honesty, if my husband didn't cook, I don't think he'd have made it into MY heart! (I'm joking...sort of!). When my husband and I were dating, he would cook me these amazing meals. And I have to say that the time and effort he spent on those meals re... Read More » -

The romantic mov... Read More » -

I have thousands of pictures just sitting on my computer's hard drive...to be seen by no one. An... Read More » -
