3 Ways to Make the Most of Your Wedding Response Card

We’ve rolled out a bunch of new RSVP themes and showed you how to create your own custom RSVPs, so what else could there be? Taking your RSVP to the next level and creating something even more meaningful for your big day! Unfortunately, the reality is that every single person you invite to your wedding [...]

If you’re anything like me, lists play an important role in your life. I use lists to get organized, be reminded of things, and be able to physically see my goals for the day, week, or month! Lists are also a great way to remember highlights from an event, trip, or even just a great [...]

Mother’s Day is just a few days away, and I for one can dream of nothing I’d like less than eating breakfast in bed. I have never understood the allure of eating with unbrushed teeth while lying in bed—spa treatments are more my cup of tea. But on Mother’s Day, I want to be with [...]

Everyone in my family loves to cook and eat great food—and it’s always been that way. My sister and I grew up cooking with our mom, who—before it was trendy—chose farmer’s market produce and experimented with vegetarian options. She also always cooked from scratch, which I have always admired and emulated. Spending time in the [...]

Though the official start of summer is still six weeks away, sultry days are already, albeit sporadically, showing up.

One of the most revolutionary uses of online social media for creative types—second only, perhaps, to the collaborative photo book—is the rise of crowdsourcing websites that help to raise awareness of—and funnel money to—projects aimed at social good. A great example of one such project is a film entitled “Way of Life,” which is currently in [...]

via I consider myself to be a reasonably creative mother, but because I live in a tiny home where there’s not a lot of space to spread out big projects, I’m often stumped by the question of what to do on a rainy day. Thinking of something isn’t the hard part—it’s thinking of something that [...]

You really can’t go wrong with a photo birth announcement. Perfectly funny looking or ridiculously beautiful, every new baby is a sight to behold and a gift to celebrate. Classic birth announcements often feature a photograph of the new baby either sleeping or awake, with a couple offset shots of precious feet and hands. Gorgeous, [...]

I have a deep loathing of side salads. It’s partially due to the fact that they often (and prominently) feature raw onions—which I find offensive—but it’s mostly because of what’s implied by being on the side to begin with. When your greens are an ancillary part of your meal, let’s be honest, they’re really just [...]
