Warm Up With Hot Chocolate

January 24, 2016 By Holly 10 Comments Filed Under: Celebrate, Christmas, Hot Cocoa Bar, Party Food

If you live on the east coast chances are, like me, you have spent the last 3 days hunkered down in your house waiting out winter storm Jonas. Having grown up in Minnesota, I am mystified by people’s reaction to snow here. The little amount of snow (or chance of snow) it takes to shut […]

Halloween Round Up: Decorations

Your halloween party isn’t complete without some festive decorations. We used items we already had around the house for this pumpkin party; orange plaid fabric as a table runner, plates and napkins in earthtone colors, fake leaves (real ones are even better!) and rustic pumpkins. We used cinnamon cloves to make this jack-o-lanterns. Don’t forget […]

Family Christmas Card

November 26, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Christmas

Every year my mom tries to find time to order our family Christmas cards and  write an update letter to friends and family. This year I thought I would save her some time and came up with this ‘year in review’ Christmas Card. I saw one similar on minted’s website, but I couldn’t customize it the way […]

Planning parties and making logos for as long as I can remember 🥳
Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
