Reagan and I have been busy getting ready for Valentine’s Day by creating some sweet decorations for our home and special gifts for our friends.
How fabulous it is that my daughter has so much love in her heart; we could all learn a thing or two from this amazing toddler!
Here are our favorites for the month that’s dedicated to love. Make sure to check back Saturday to see what we’ve been working on for our friends and family!

Reach…Grab

bags 2

My husband purchased the bag that I had been lusting over for quite sometime for our 5th wedding anniversary. I was and still am absolutely in love with my Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. It’s a classic; with clean lines, tons of room, durable leather and absolute beauty. Our 10th anniversary isn’t too far away- Maybe I’ll get another bag that I love…But in the meantime, I’m totally loving these grabbable bags!

Are You Ready for Some…Chili?

Chili has been a staple at my parents Super Bowl party for as long as I can remember. My mom makes a killer chili; thanks to a little help from Danny Wegman;) Everyone’s taste buds are definitely unique, there’s no question there. Finding the perfect chili that will leave each and every one of your guests raving to their friends…is highly unlikely. However, attempting to accommodate your guests by making what you think or know that they will enjoy makes all the difference! My mom makes two different batches of chili to accommodate her gluten-free friends. It’s the little things, like making a gluten-free chili, that makes you that extra special SuperBowl host.

I’ve pulled recipes from several friends with varying tastes and limitations and want to share with you what your vegan, gluten-free, non bean eating friends may LOVE! No worries though, I’ve added the beef filled recipe that my mom serves too!

Enjoy!
