color coded sprinkles are my fave
May 31, 2011 // 0 Comments
I’m aware that macarons have replaced the cupcake as the blogger’s dessert of choice but let’s just set the trendy dessert feud aside and agree that it doesn’t get much better than three shelves of color coded sprinkles.

repackaging is my fave
May 27, 2011 // 0 Comments
I believe that pretty packaging makes every gift, no matter how small, seem more special. I’m sharing these fabric wrapped chocolate bars on Crafted by Lindy today. My goal is to have a stash of these on hand for every occasion.
summer goals are my fave
May 26, 2011 // 0 Comments
I think of this sentiment on a daily basis. Summer is on the horizon and that makes all things better. Stub your big toe in the winter? Man, things are the WORST! Stub your big toe in the summer? Let’s go ride bikes!
Because of the great uncertainty of all things 2011 (that’s the official title I just came up with), our official plans are scarce, but my goals are still plentiful. Here’s the beginning of my list.
Summer goals 2011:
- say no to pants
- make popsicles
- nightly walks
- learn how to pick a good watermelon
- outdoor movies
- use my ice cream maker constantly
- plant an herb garden on my balcony
- road trip to a national park
- long bike rides
What are your summer goals this year?

Any one of these would make a nice addition to my sock drawer that doubles as a jewelry case. I’m living the high life here folks.

a birthday dress is my fave
May 23, 2011 // 0 Comments
How come all these fashion bloggers can just open their mouths a little and act like Lindsey Lohan and we totally don’t question it? We actually think it looks normal and natural. Then when I attempt it, this is what I get- trying too hard smirk, disgust and white girl dancing. And you wonder why I always crop out my head.
This post is really supposed to be about the dress. I started a tradition a few years ago where I buy myself a dress for my birthday. I allow myself to spend a little more than I usually would so it feels like a special treat. I tried on several this year but settled on this one from Boden (I used a discount code so don’t hassle me about the price) after Ryan assured me Michael Kors would not call it mother of the bride at a garden reception. I think he may have been lying but Nate Berkus told me it was cute so I’m going to call it a win. Backdoor brag? You betcha.
lands end canvas is surprisingly my fave

Dear crappy Denver weather,

instant comfort is my fave
May 17, 2011 // 2 Comments
I’d like to always have one of these instant comfort pocket boxes on hand to send to a friend when they needed a little boost. Or to store in my pocket for a bad hair day.
polaroid birth announcements are my fave
May 16, 2011 // 0 Comments
Camie designed these genius polaroid birth announcements (with DIY instructions!) clearly with a future baby Blodgett in mind. Forget pregnancy, I’m going straight for the fun stuff.
