Getting Our Swag On! (Part One of Our First BlogLove™ Event)
Most of you may know, we love to gather people around a table! Chris Ann and I decided to plan a blogger's networking event called BlogLove™. We've attended other networking events and met some wonderful people in the process. Truth be told, we just love to have an excuse to have a party! We love to design cards and plan a menu. We like to tablescape and give gifts! Years before we were bloggers we threw many a party together! We wanted BlogLove Events to be special and unique. We decided that at every BlogLove, … [Read more...]

What’s Your BlogLove™?
Something Kristin and I started a while back was something we like to call Fancy Friday. It's a chance to share at our table things that inspires us, things that are beautiful, colorful, soulful, and artistic...things that we like to call "fancy". You can click on some of of our Fancy Friday's here. Fancy Friday is also a "Blog Party", which means if you are a blogger you can link up your "fancy" post with a linky button. Fancy Friday gives our readers a chance to find some other blogs to love. There's lot of cool blogs … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday Kitchen Tables “Have A Seat”
If you've been following us on Fridays, you'll know that we like it Fancy! We take today to feature the things that inspire us! Well, not too long ago, we were twittered by @hipgirls Kate Payne who wanted to start a #FancyFriday run! Only to find out, great minds think alike! Because we are always on the look out for a FancyFriend, we stalked her, only to find out, what we already sensed in our bones, she's our kinda gal! So, in LoveFeast fashion, we asked Kate to pull up a chair and join us at the Table! We feel so … [Read more...]
How To Make An Aebleskiver
What are they? They're Aebleskivers. And, they want to be served at your next gathering! This is my Aebleskiver. It's not as perfect as the winning Aebleskiver. But let me tell you it was a tummy full of "pop-cake" love!! You see a Aebleskiver is a cross between a popover and and a pancake! Traditionally, this Danish treat is filled with an apple slice. We made both savory and sweet versions at the Minnesota Blog Pantry Blogging Event I attended at Local D'Lish. The Mac Daddy of Aebleskivers, Chad Gillard aka … [Read more...]
Bloggers & Aebleskivers
What a great night out with the Minnesota Blog Pantry gals!! What could be better than a blogging evening with friends and aebleskivers? The event was organized by Kim Moldofsky, of Hormone Color Days and MomImpact at Local D'Lish in Minneapolis. The evening was a great blend of socializing, making aebleskivers as well as a donation of money and diapers to Help A Mother Out. Meeting new bloggy friends such as Molly from The Snyder 5 and Jilene, from Be Put Together, as well as catching up with Elissa, from Little Bean … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday Faces
"It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many million faces, there should be none alike." ~Sir Thomas Browne "Man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction." ~Oscar Wilde "As a beauty I'm not a great star. Others are handsomer far; but my face -- I don't mind it because I'm behind it; it the folks out in front that I jar." ~A.H. Euwer "What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? … [Read more...]
I Heart Faces Photo Walk ~ Minnesota
"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer." ~Ansel Adams This was one of my favorite photographs from the I Heart Faces Photo Walk Across America that I participated in last Saturday. Although its not of a face...it's a little about a walk...or maybe perhaps, a journey. It's a theme I write about off and on. I like the idea and the experience of paths in general. It's a little peak about the excitement of the future. It's when you start walking and you wander a bit, but you still … [Read more...]
