DIY Origami Heart Garland

by Alyssa

The title lies. This is actually kirigami, but I’m not sure if that would have grabbed your attention! If origami is the art of folding paper, kirigami is the art of folding AND cutting paper.  There are just two little snips involved in making these adorable little puffy hearts, so it’s not a very elaborate

Weekly Love Letter for Friday, January 16th

by Alyssa

[ezcol_1half] “Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to get motivated in January? It’s the month we’re supposed to exercise but it’s FREEZING outside and the sun has disappeared.  We’re supposed to eat healthy food, but the produce is meh.  I find it difficult enough to get out of the warm bed in the

by Alyssa

Scallops with Farro & Mushrooms in Lemony Tahini Dressing

by Alyssa

I believe in eating healthy food.  I do NOT, however, believe in eating anything that’s less than delicious.  And these two things can sometimes be at odds with each other!  When that happens, I’m only a little bit sad to say that I will choose to follow the “delicious” angle over the “healthy” one 10 times out of
