The Retro Re-pin Party Week 36 featuring Paper Lilies
It's Time to Retro Re-pin Party! This week has been a lot less eventful than the week before. The most exciting part was building a raised garden bed with my hubby in our front yard. We have a tiny backyard that's mostly deck and doesn't have much afternoon sun, so the front yard just makes more sense for a vegetable garden. Hopefully our neighbors in downtown Denver understand and don't ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 33 Featuring Friendship Cookies
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week has just been flying by! I can't believe it's already time for another party. This week had some great highs and lows. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll remember that the low was when I stripped a gear in my beloved KitchenAid mixer while making my favorite pizza dough. I pretty much just stood there in shock and started crying. Thankfully my hubby ...
Retro Re-pin Party #30 with a Mardi Gras Recipe and Facebook Tips
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! Happy Mardi Gras! Did you know that today is Fat Tuesday? It's also pancake day (I love pancakes!) During the Lenten season (aka "Lent"), which is the period of approximately 6 weeks/40 days days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, it's common for Christians and Catholics to fast from richer foods, meat, or another type of luxury to prepare their ...
Retro Re-pin Party #28 with Good-For-You Snacks
Retro Re-pin Party Time! We are sad to announce that this will be Robin's last week hosting the party with us. She's been offered some exciting new projects, so she's re-allocating her time to those and taking a break from hosting with us for a while. It's been a blast to host with her each week, so I'm sad to see her go. We'll miss you Robin! Be sure and stop by her blog and wish her well this ...
Retro Re-pin Party #27 With Valentine’s Features
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! Do you ever have a week where all your carefully laid plans have to be totally thrown out of the window because something unexpected happened? That's what my week has been like. I think things are going to calm down now, but I'm super behind schedule. Here's what I've been up to since the last party: On to the party! I'd love to see ...
Retro Re-pin Party #22 Featuring Homemade Vanilla Sugar
It's time to Retro Re-pin Party! This week has finally felt like Christmas around here. I went to my first holiday party - a book swap with my book club. We each brought a book we really love and exchanged them with a little poem. Whichever book we ended up with will be what we read for January's book club meeting. When I first joined the book club, I had no idea how much I'd come to enjoy ...
Retro Re-pin Party #21 featuring Sweet Potato Nachos
Get your Pinterest pins ready because it's time for the Retro Re-pin Party! I just got home from the most wonderful food eating trip to Portland. You can read all about it here in my post from this morning. It's been a bit crazy to be travelling so much. I've been ordering packages left and right for holiday gifts and trying to time them so they'd arrive when we were actually in town and ...
Retro Re-pin Party #20 Featuring a Round Up of Unique Pie Crusts
It's Time for the Retro Re-pin Party! I hope you each had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving so much that I actually had 2 Thanksgivings - one friendsgiving a few days early and then a Thanksgiving with my sister-in-law in Washington DC on the actual day. The benefit of hosting a friendsgiving is that we still get to have leftovers at home even if we celebrated out of state. (Though I ...
Retro Re-pin Party #19 Featuring Prosciutto Pear Bites
It's time to throwback with the Retro Re-pin Party! Y'all, Thanksgiving is coming!!!!! I seriously can not WAIT for Thanksgiving. Just 9 more days!! As a food blogger, it's pretty much our biggest holiday. I think November may as well be national food blogger month. (Anyone want to join me on that? We can just tell everyone that Thanksgiving is a feast in our honor and the parades are for ...
Retro Re-pin Party #18 featuring Cherry Cheesecake Bites
Welcome again to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week has been a crazy drop in the weather here in Denver! Monday morning it was about 50 degrees when I left the house for work, and by the time I got home it was 20 degrees and there was snow on the ground. Today has been even crazier with 3 inches of snow and 11 degrees outside. I'm headed to a meeting tonight and planning to try to get away ...
Retro Re-pin Party #17 Featuring Caramel Apple Nachos
It's time once again for the Retro Re-pin Party! Did everyone have a good Halloween? We didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as we typically do, so I had a TON of candy left over. Do you have any leftover Halloween candy ideas for me? I have no idea what to do with it all. (Besides eat it - breakfast of champions right?) I actually felt so guilty about eating all the candy this ...
