November | December Montage

Sorry for my absence.

You know that awesome scene in the movie Rocky, where he's jumping on top of the steps, fists pumping in the air because he finally did it! 

 And prior to that iconic scene are short video clips that show how he got there- little snippets of months and months of this dude working his ass off set to music: a short video montage. It's to prove he's been working all this time, but we're not going to really show you or explain it because that would just take too much time…

Well, we all need a good montage sometime.

Christmas Eve in our home 

and when you can't get it together in time for a Christmas card- simply make it a Happy New Year card instead.

So there it is folks. Unfortunately, there is no fist pumping going on here yet though!  The past few months have been jam-packed full of fun and sparkling moments, but we still have quite a bit of nesting and styling to do around the house. I hope to keep the creative juices flowing and pulling from the inspiration of Internet world.  

We've got some great stuff planned for 2014, and I can't wait to share more recipes, cocktails, crafts, beauty tips, and travels here soon!
