Paul Simon wrote, “She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes…” Well, I’m not sure about diamonds, but it doesn’t matter is you’re walking in Christian Louboutin heels or Converse sneakers – take a minute to think about where the soles of your shoes have been. Around town? Around the country? Around the world? And who has been there with you through these adventures? Taking a stroll gives you time to catch up, talk about your day, make plans and just enjoy each other! Love takes us all in a lot of different directions, but the journey getting there is half the fun.

Thanks to one of our favorite bloggers – Jess Simpson, of Forgiving Martha, for sharing a yummy recipe that is absolutely perfect for a Sunday night dinner – especially during the end of January! Nothing much says comfort better than a big bowl of pasta with a rich and creamy sauce – oh and did we mention it’s vegan?
Pasta is also a great idea for dinner parties because it’s super simple to make in large quantities, and what goes better with pasta than wine!?! We recommend getting a group of friends and family together, making this recipe and catching up on life for a while. Heck, throw a couple logs on the fire and it couldn’t get much better!

Looking for a fun, last-minute adventure for an otherwise lazy Saturday? Grab some friends and go antiquing. Searching through old treasures is half the fun, and you won’t be able to wipe the smile off your face when you find something that you just can’t live without. Antiques can make a great addition to your kitchen, living room or bedroom, and don’t forget to think of unexpected places like a powder room or window. Whether you’re in the market for a piece of art, an old sign or just looking for something special, spending the day shopping with good friends is always a recipe for success!
PS – Don’t forget to bring your camera along – documenting the trip is a great way to cherish memories and you can use those photos in a thank-you card to everyone who joined in on the day!

Valentine’s Day is not too far away, and it’s time to paint over the dark and grey mood the weather may be leaving outside with splashes of crimson, cherry, scarlet, red, pink, purple and countless other hues that remind us of love.
We like to think that Valentine’s Day is a day to remind everyone how much we care for them. From parents & siblings, nieces & nephews, friends & best friends, husbands & wives…the list goes on and on. There are countless ways to let someone know you love them – and if you can’t quite find the words – a Valentine’s Day card can certainly help.
Your loved ones will appreciate the gesture whether it’s in the form of an ecard or a personalized paper card. From funny ecards and romantic ecards to cute ecards for the kids – it’s easy to send a little love to everyone in your life. If you know someone who would be super excited to get a Valentine’s Day card in the mail then it’s time to start looking for the perfect one today. Customize Valentine’s Day for everyone in your life!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then get out and start shooting! The inspiration and possibilities are endless behind a camera lens. Don’t think of it as taking a picture, think of it as capturing memories in the making!
