Friends, it’s December 1st and I haven’t done a Favorites post in forever! Time to share a few things I’ve been crushing on lately (trust me when I say that I had to sit on my hands not to write about my favorite deodorant; thought it might get me booed off the stage; wait, you want me to gift someone deo?). …
Chocolate Mousse with Espresso & Grand Marnier
The other morning – early morning – when the sky was dark and the floor was cold, I found myself in that curious transition between sleep and wakefulness; the one where your mind is on the threshold of consciousness but you’re still under the influence of make-believe. They call it a hypnopompic state and it can break your heart.

Favorite Things – Holiday Edition!
As I write this entry, the rain is pounding on my window and the wind is lashing against our back door. It’s not snow but I love it just the same.

December is settling in and in the spirit of celebration, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite holiday decorating and gift-giving inspiration with you. …
Matcha Green Tea Soft Serve (vegan)
Our youngest stumbled upon his first four-leaf clover when he was barely six years old.
We were getting out of the car and walking across a stretch of indecipherable greens when he looked down and said, “Mommy, look, it’s a four-leaf clover.”
Just like that. …
Broken Heart Mint Chocolate Truffles (vegan)
I knew as soon as I unmolded these little hearts that they were ruined.
Rough edges, jagged lines, cracks, crevasses, chips and divots. You name it, they wouldn’t make the cut. I’ve been operating in the blogging world long enough to know this is not what people want to see….
