Wednesday Wish List

Food and the holidays go hand-in-hand for me. Since having my own kitchen, I've felt more comfortable to experiment with some of my much loved holiday recipes. Recently, pies have become a favorite of mine to make. Blackberry. Pumpkin. Apple. Peach. You name it and I'll make it!

Anthropologie's Blackbird Pie Vent would be the perfect solution to my baking ventures. How cute would this little guy be popping out of your delicious pie? Not to mention, the price is great too ($8) !

Weekend Recap

• My weekend almost felt like 4 days due to a holiday (Veteran's Day) and a dental surgery.
• Wednesday (day 1) was used as a day to get things done.
• On our to-do list: getting Buster's toe nails clipped, grocery shopping and working out.
• I also squeezed in a pedicure with Kristi and saw a movie/had dinner with Kali.
• Friday (day 2) brought my second dental surgery.
• Like the first, the surgery was quick, with a longer recovery time.
• We made sure to stock up on soft foods (oatmeal, pudding, jell-o) and entertainment this time, as we knew what to expect.
• And thanks to our DVR & movies, I've been quite content all weekend.
• The Proposal (loved!) , The Ugly Truth, and Whatever Works were among a few of the movies we watched this weekend.
• (As you can tell, days 3 & 4 involved a lot of sitting on the couch watching TV.)
  
• And (of course) before we knew it, the weekend is gone and it's time for another work week.
• Thank you to my wonderful husband for taking care of me this weekend!

Wednesday Wish List

I have always been drawn to cupcakes. I opted for them in place of a traditoinal cake at our wedding. I also have a few (fake) around the house as decoration. I love cupcakes. Enough said. And I love this week's Wednesday Wish List for that reason alone.Anthropologie's Cupcake Potholder would be a perfect addition to my simple, yet colorful kitchen. And I'd be a little hesitant to use it because it's so cute, but for only $8 I could stock up. :)
