With a Cherry on Top
These cookies are beyond addicting. I made them at Christmas and they were the first cookies to go. The cookies would make a great just because or hostess gift. This week I made them to go on a plate I borrowed from someone.

Right on the Dot
Do you love or hate polka dots? They\’re not just on dalmatians anymore. Spots are showing up on scarves, shoes, handbags, tees and tights. Some rooms in homes are even seeing spots.
Monogrammed Bedroom
Over the weekend I was walking around Pottery Barn for some home decorating ideas with a focus on the bedroom. I soon forgot that I was looking for decorating ideas when I fell in love with all the bedroom essentials that you could have monogrammed. What do you think about monogrammed items in the bedroom?
