good gracious it’s cold! I’m layered today…seriously, I look like a bag lady and I won’t blame you if you don’t stop to say hi but I can say that I am warm. In light of the weather in the teens today and this weekend I thought it might be nice to wrap up the weekend with something hot!! I searched for Mexican Hot Chocolate and found this one on Cowboys and Indians by Cowgirl Chef, Ellise Pierce — The Sassy, Saucy Culinary Capers of a Dallas Girl in Paris. Her blog is great. I have heard about it from many other Dallasites. It’s FULL of amazing recipes, gorgeous food and videos. I’m shamefully addicted to anything food, love watching people cook it and I love to eat it. Food network, food blogs, food in general…I’m a fan.
Cheers! Have a great chocolately warm weekend! (recipe below or visit the C&I original post here)

my apologies… for getting derailed this week with that whole wedding thing ;) but I promise you Vynsie Law’s home filled with vintage fabulosity was worth every moment of nail biting anticipation. Let’s just start with this little vignette of OH-SO bright and cheery happiness. YES, that wall paper is even more amazing in person. YES, that chair rocks my world too and WHERE can I get that poster??? Enjoy!

let’s get this party started… Well, friends I know I said it was a big year and it truly was. I am on cloud nine as I share this cherished moment with such special people (that would be you). In August, I was lucky enough to get engaged to my favorite person in the world, Bret Sano. We had a super busy fall and our families + friends were constantly asking us for a date and a plan. So! the week before Christmas decided to elope! We were married on New Year’s Eve in Glen Rose, Texas and all the fun and photos are below. Originally when we made this decision we weren’t going to share the photos with anyone but family but they turned out so darn cute and it was tons of fun so I had too! Can’t imagine a better way to kick off 2010. Very blessed and looking forward to the future.
**Sorry for not posting photos about the farm or the winner of the giveaway. I’ll post the winner on Tuesday (tomorrow) and promise to share photos of my family’s farm soon but today I thought we would focus on this special moment.**
Oh, and my apologies in advance this is a long post…
