living truthfully, playing pretend.
I love a good craft project, and this time of year lends itself to a lot of indoor crafty time. But in full disclosure, I also love when craft projects are easy to do and fairly inexpensive. With Thanksgiving already next week (WHAT), I thought I’d share a fun little project that’s both practical and […]

Every season I like to make a list – a bucket list of sorts. I live for celebrating the every day and holidays alike, and this way I can stay on track and squeeze in as much seasonal goodness as possible. This autumn I’ve been making some major headway on my list, and it’s filling […]

Try as I might, I can’t contain my excitement for autumn and the subsequent holiday season. Everything about this time of year just makes me so giddy inside. I will continue to mourn LA’s lack of fall weather and foliage (though I am feeling a “chill” in the air), but that will not stop me […]

Read MoreSo, I’m a bit enthusiastic about the holidays. And when I say a bit, I mean a lot. I seem to be the only one amongst my friends, so I entice them over with football and pizza and chocolate caramel apples, so I can at least have people around while I carve a pumpkin. This […]
Read MoreHere are some things that have been making me happy lately. 🙂 A rainy day in Southern California. Autumn goodies I just couldn’t resist. Homemade pizza on the regular. Kipling’s insistence that a pair of fake owls I displayed are in fact, real. -wonderland sam
Read MoreI’m not usually a big fall decorator, but for whatever reason, it’s all I can think about this season! We are planning on carving pumpkins in a few weeks, but I thought, hey, we may as well keep some pumpkins out in the meantime. Pumpkins are supposed to last 8-12 weeks if they are not […]
