Today we’re sharing our favorite coffee gear within each category of coffee making. You must know all the types by now. There’s espresso, pour-over, drip, drop, and drivel… 😉
Welcome November!
How are you feeling? There are so many things that can overwhelm us at this time of year. The shorter days and longer nights, the colder and grayer daylight hours, the anxiety of the holiday-packed months ahead. Should I go on?
Yet on the flip-side, there are so many things that have me excited to wake up every day. At this time of year, I anticipate spending more time inside. I look forward to lighting candles, cozy dinners, and longer dark evenings spent being creative.
Knowing the transition to winter can be particularly tough we make a concerted effort to embrace the good and face the challenges head-on.
Yesterday was election day. Today we eat cake. Eat in celebration or to calm your frustration (it’s ok).
At the beginning of the year, I encouraged our readers to “make with me“. In that post I shared a few of the many benefits that you may get from picking up a hobby, and I gave you a few simple suggestions for how to turn your hobby into a regular habit (that’s good for you!).

The list above contains a nice mix of projects, relatively simple sweaters for both kids and adults. A scarf, which is a great project because getting the right fit doesn’t matter! The god’s eye provides a no-knitting yarn project. And there’s an adult hat. To round out the mix, today I want to share one of my most favorite hats to knit for babies and toddlers.
As we roll into the last week of October, the Halloween excitement is palpable in our house. The boys have reached amazing ages where they are super excited about the holidays, and they enjoy a good holiday craft.
If you’re in the same boat, you have plenty of time to make these Halloween t-shirts before Wednesday…

Yesterday Sarah shared a recipe for mummy jalapeño poppers. Consider those your appetizer, because today I’m serving up the main “dish”… well at least your 5yo will consider this a bootiful dish.
I may be a bit biased, but I think we’ve found the cutest Max of them all! Don’t know what I’m talking about? Pick up a copy of Where the Wild Things Are and get ready for a trip down memory lane.
If you’re making this costume for a kid, they will get so much more enjoyment out of it if you’ve read the book together. Obvious, I know, but just a plug to get yourself to the library and enjoy an afternoon deep in the stacks with your wild ones.
Soooo. Just in case you didn’t get my hint yesterday, I’m shouting it from the rooftops today. Use your homemade coffee liqueur to make white Russians.
Click on through for both the basic cocktail and our indulgent Thursday afternoon treat. Because Thursdays are practically weekends.
Today we’re sharing a super simple (and relatively quick) DIY coffee liqueur. For reference, Kahlua is a coffee liqueur. Our recipe is *like* Kahlua, but with the added benefit that you get to completely customize your formula, from the coffee flavor to the sweetness level.
Feeling a bit thirsty? We have just the thing to take the edge off of your Thursday afternoon Sunday brunch. The Espresso Martini.
Admittedly, I had never heard of this delicious concoction until watching the latest season of Great British Bakeoff. When the lovely Kate mentioned this drink, I was all ears.
