Still on the hunt for some cute ornaments?  Given our recent birch round love (did you see our cheeseboard or place cards?!), it only seems natural that we’d be turning those pretty discs into a great decoration for the tree!  You can make these personalized birch round ornaments in just a few minutes.

Fennel Salad with Roasted Beets & Grapefruit

by Alyssa

  I don’t know about you guys, but I’m already starting to feel like I’ve overindulged this holiday season.  And to boot, I’ve also got the expat-visiting-home attitude of “ohmyGod, I need to eat all of my favorite foods as much as possible because I’ve missed them so much and I don’t know when I’ll

Weekly Love Letter for November 29th, 2013

by Carla

[ezcol_1half] “How was your Thanksgiving?  I saw some family that I haven’t seen in over a year and we had a delicious meal, mostly prepared by my mom and me.  We had so much fun in the kitchen together.  In fact, I think I enjoyed the meal prep even more than the meal itself!  And
