a friends & family special from silhouPETte

with thanksgiving fast approaching this week, i’ve been busy designing holiday greetings & gifts and fun coupon deals for my clients.  here’s a great deal i’m happy to share from silhouPETte for all the pet lovers on your holiday shopping list!

just for friends and family, take 20% off your online order until November 27th.   just enter code INTHEFAM20 at checkout.

let’s celebrate!

little miss miya is turning 4 and her mom was looking for a very simple invitation to help announce the celebration.  i thought a fun colorful little invite would be a perfect choice as no specific theme is set so decorating with colorful colors will make things super easy for this busy working mom.

the addition of the little border of dots at the bottom was added in as i felt something was still missing from this layout and you can’t ever go wrong with polka dots!  they always add a bit of fun to any festivity, just like confetti.

of course, with every invite, you’ll need a thank you note as well.

want these invites to help announce your little (or big) celebration?  or perhaps, you’re in need of new playful thank you notes?  they’re available for purchase through my Etsy shop or you can always just contact me directly to place your order.

chili for a chilly day

i’ve had president obama’s family chili recipe saved in my recipe box for a while now and today i finally decided to try it out.

i poured my ground turkey based chili over some brown rice, topped it with greek yogurt instead of sour cream and made jalapeño & chive corn bread* to go with it on the side.  it was quite yummy and perfect for a chilly sunday evening.

*fake it, don’t make it recipe tip: just add jalapeños & chives to a box of jiffy’s corn bread mix and voila!  instant deliciousness!  🙂

rain + wind = pretty LA

i think LA is always it’s prettiest after it rains and with the help of some gusty winds, you’re left with this picturesque view.

hoping for more rain in our near future.  my rain boots would like to come out and play as well.
