First off, I hope I’m not the only one who had no idea what rugelach was before I made it. Rugelach is a treat made in the form of a crescent – like a little croissant - flaky on the outside and filled with chocolate, cinnamon and sugar, walnuts, dried fruit or jam. A.K.A. Delicious two-bite rolls
Obviously this post is not timely considering it’s snow/sleeting/raining outside right now but I found this old outfit post and it made me feel hopeful that we will have warm weather again. These photos were taken when my mom came to Lansing for a day. We walked around Old Town, going in and out of
I’ve been looking for a project to replace the old DIY art on my dining room wall and I finally stumbled upon this on none other than Pinterest. (I don’t think I’ve written a post in the last three months that doesn’t use Pinterest. Annoying?) I loved this idea but I’m more of a neutral gal so
I’m not an eggnog girl. It’s always grossed me out, from the sour aftertaste to the soft-serve ice cream thickness (it takes me an hour to drink a glass). But this year, with a little help from good ole’ time-waster, Pinterest I can be a part of the eggnog club without the fear of vomiting

If all goes as planned, I will no longer be a college student in a few weeks. As scary as the real world sounds, I’m excited to start the next chapter of my life, and hopefully this new chapter brings with it an income that allows me to push aside the cheap beers and enjoy
When I first moved into my own apartment, I went a little crazy at Home Goods. A by a little crazy, I mean I bought all of the tacky, sparkly decorations I could find. And although I don’t think any home is complete without a few tacky Halloween decorations, I wanted to create a more
The leaves are changing all around me and I would feel guilty if I didn’t try to capture the beautiful hues of maroon, peach, gold and green somehow. I saw this post on Pinterest that cut the leaf shapes out of fabric but I think using the real thing is way better (and cheaper). My
Naomi and I recently made the trek to New York City to visit some friends, family and of course, participate in various Midwestern-tourist activities. Naomi’s brother, Noah, who makes these awesome shirts, (yes that plug just happened) was nice enough to let us stay at his place in Brooklyn, thanks Noah! This was my
