Part II. Holiday Gift Guide has a few items I know are awesome because I have them in my home! One of them being the LIFX bulb. Having a LIFX wi-fi led smart light in your home has so many advantages. You turn on a mode called dawn to dusk so you can always have a light when you wake up during those dark mornings. An easy to install app on your phone controls it. You can also transform your space into any color imaginable. Another gift that I absolutely love is made by an artist in Greensboro, NC. I received it as a holiday gift and it's one of my most beloved pieces of art I have in my home. It is a copper mobile with ginkgo leaves. I placed mine under the register so when it comes on, they start to spin. Another great gift is from a company called Odd Pears. So you buy a grouping of three socks, two that match and one that is inversely odd. They're awesome! Happy Shopping and I hope I've given you some ideas for the holidays! -Callie<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We often associate wreaths as a winter decoration but they are also lovely to make in the fall to hang around your home, where you can tuck in fall flowers like asters or tufts of evergreens and ferns. It's a fairly simple DIY where you need either a wire wreath frame or a circular piece of vine. Simply use the form of the plant and weave into the frame and then attach with string or wire. I often stick in tufts of herbs like rosemary (which are evergreen), lavender and eucalyptus. Once you have the base created now is the time to attach small pieces such as pinecones, acorns or whatever else you can find in the forest or around your yard. Happy Weekend! -Callie</span></div>

<br />
Summer is my absolute favorite season for cooking. The fruit and vegetables that begin to appear are not only staples in my house but the flavors I grew up on as a kid. As a child and into adulthood, about 30 years, I spent my summers on my grandmother's farm in Kansas. It was a wonderful childhood that consisted of shoveling your breakfast down each morning just so you could get out the door. You then spent the whole day outside and then only coming in to eat again. She had a huge vegetable garden and fruit trees so we would eat whatever was in season and in the summer months it was plentiful. We made cobblers, canned vegetables and cooked the recipes of her past. It was a great time in my life.<br />
<br />
Fast foward to the present. This summer I have been busy making cobblers and trying to come up with the best combination. I think I finally found it using Chez Panisse's Bluebery Cobbler <span style="color: #0b5394;"><a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/9291-chez-panisses-blueberry-cobbler">recipe</a> </span>but tweaking it a bit. Simply, I added a few more fruits. The juiciness of the peach, blackberry and blueberry created just the right amount of extra syrupy and sweet sauce. Here's the recipe if you want to try and create this at home. Vanilla ice cream or some fresh cream is a must. -Callie<br />

You guys all know how much I love cake and anything that contains lemon. From her blog, <a href="http://www.callmecupcake.se/2018/02/lemon-poppy-seed-bundt-cake-with-a-lemon-syrup-blueberry-glaze.html">Call Me Cupcake</a>, Linda Lomelino's lemon poppy bundt cake is right up my alley. It's soaked in lemon syrup and topped with a blueberry glaze. The presentation is simple and the colors are really nice together. Happy Baking! -Callie<br />

<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">You can also bake this cake in a loaf pan! If you’re baking in a vintage cake pan, make sure to check doneness before removing the cake from the oven. I had to bake it for almost 70 minutes when using a vintage pan, , whilst in a new pan it only took 47 minutes.</em></div>

<li class="simmer-instruction" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 20px;">Preheat oven to 175°C (350F). Grease and flour a 6 cup (1 1/2 litre) bundt or loaf pan.</li>
<li class="simmer-instruction" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 20px;">In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.</li>
<li class="simmer-instruction" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 20px;">Place the sugar in a large bowl. Add the finely grated lemon zest and rub together until sugar is fragrant and zest is incorporated. Add the butter and beat until mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.</li>
<li class="simmer-instruction" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 20px;">In a small bowl, combine heavy cream and lemon juice. Add the flour mixture and cream mixture in additions to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour, and stir until batter is smooth. Stir in the poppy seeds.</li>
<li class="simmer-instruction" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 20px;">Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 45-50 minutes (start checking doneness around 35-40 minutes, and cover the top with foil if the cake is browning too much) or until a cake tester comes out clean. While the cake is baking, you can prepare the syrup (instructions below). Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.</li>

<li class="simmer-instruction" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 20px;">Brush the cake with the syrup while the cake is still warm, then let the cake cool completely. Place the cake on a cake stand or serving platter.</li>

<span style="text-align: left;">As it's getting slightly warmer out, I can't help but think about adding a few things to our outdoor space. I also can't help but want one of these Scandinavian-inspired rattan chairs hanging inside my house. Add some pillows and you are all set.

We've always believed if a kids' space has color, texture and a little bit of pattern, you can always build on the design and interchange the decor. Whether it's a colorful storage bin or a vibrant piece of art, infusing decor through artwork and textiles can freshen up the space and help you keep organized. Cue <a href="http://www.babycubby.com/">The <span id="goog_1480025224"></span>Baby Cubby</a><span id="goog_1480025225"></span>. I've partnered up with them to bring you some great ways to freshen up a space!</div>

A super cute kids online shop and Utah-based store, <a href="http://www.babycubby.com/about-us/">The Baby Cubby</a> is a company made up of parents who test, research and love of all of their products.

<span style="text-align: left;">As I write this and look out my window a heavy snow has already come and is continuing to grow creating the most beautiful winter day. The pines are heavy and my twinkly outdoor lights almost non existent in my giant beech tree, as the snow weighs heavy on its' bare branches. Inside, I am starting my winter ritual of </span>hygge<span style="text-align: left;">. </span>Hygge<span style="text-align: left;"> is a Danish word that when translated into English means so many beautiful things that many of us do instinctively. At my house when the dark days of winter come, I find a simple comfort in creating </span>hygge<span style="text-align: left;"> and my </span>daughters<span style="text-align: left;"> love it, too. I begin by putting up strings of fairy lights. I nestle them in my plants, string them along my bookcase and hang them from the ceiling. I take out my wool blankets and throws and add a few rugs to my bare floors. We introduce and bring out our bin of all things wool! Wool socks, slippers and oversized sweaters keep us warm. As I do these small rituals in winter, I come to realize how happy it makes me. Small, good moments in my life. </span></div>

I can't leave you without some of my favorite images that capture the spirit of winter - a peaceful stillness that only it can bring us. -Callie</div>

I remember seeing my grandmothers milk glass in her farmhouse as a young child. Since then, I have loved the milky white (other colors include, pink, blue, black, brown and yellow are just as lovely) and often textured glass that can be seen in vases, lamps, bowls, and butter dishes. I love it displayed as a collection along a bookshelf or used in non-traditional ways. Cram a succulent into a vase or use your collection for organizing jewelry. If you happen to be in Grand Central Station in NYC, check out the milk glass incorporated into the clock face. -Happy Weekend! -Callie<br />

I realized some time ago I was drawn to design that incorporated the color <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/dyrevolutione/pretty-in-pink/">pink</a>. It made me happy when I saw it. Pink is often an overlooked color that can be the perfect dose of boldness to infuse into a monochromatic palette or to add personality to an all white room. It can be as subtle as a small bouquet of flowers resting on the mantle or a bold and bright pink sofa or chair. I also love it woven into rugs. The varying shades of pink is wide so you can go as bold or as soft (think pale, pale pink) as you like, either way it always works! -Callie<br />

From her cookbook Molly on the Range, Molly Yeh's <a href="http://mynameisyeh.com/mynameisyeh/2013/11/chocolate-tahini-cake-with-rosemary-buttercream-frosting">Chocolate Tahini Cake</a> combines some of my favorite foods Chocolate + Tahini into cake form. All she did was sub the oil for tahini. I can handle that. If you aren't super skilled at baking and want to skip the candied rosemary and frosting, these are also delicious as a naked cake. Just add some whip cream or ice cream and you're done. Happy baking! -Callie</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
SO, with any design process, when you get rid of something so prominent in your house you begin to rethink the rest of the colors in each room, furniture layout and color palette. This week's photograph find pays homage to the timeless look of oak. It WILL make you want to incorporate a little sleek vintage in your home, I swear. If you need some more inspiration check out my oak flooring <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/dyrevolutione/french-oak-floors/">pinboard</a>. Happy Sunday everyone! -Callie </div>

Happy Weekend! These past two months have been a complete whirlwind with my family in town from the US. One shop I had to take them to was one of my favorite little places in Ghent called <a href="http://www.julieshouse.be/en">Julie's House</a>. It's a pastry house located in the historic center that has some really delicious cupcakes and pies. It's tucked along the beautiful river Leie and a fun yet busy place to take your kids. Some of my favorite cupcakes were the vanilla and lemon curd, blueberry and double chocolate. You can also enjoy breakfast there! Doesn't get much better than that. Happy weekend guys! -Callie</div>

Oh boy, it was cold this week in Belgium. This native North Carolinian is really missing her warm weather! I love posting some inspiring photographs from <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> for The Pinterest Series. A floral tunic, a bucket of fresh flowers or a pop of bright color always makes me happy. So, here's a little bit of spring for your weekend. Happy Friday my lovely readers! -Callie </div>

Hello my lovely readers! Well, it's been a little while since my last post but I have a very good reason...I moved to Europe! My family made the long haul over the great Atlantic to Belgium. We had always wanted to move to Europe so when the chance came, we were ready to go! Obtaining our work visas was a long process but well worth the many months of paperwork. It is a beautiful city full of color, texture and light that gives me design inspiration every day. I do miss the comforts of home but the vastly differently architecture, food, nature and people envelops you and makes you feel at home, too.<br />
<br />
As I explore this beautiful country, I hope your are inspired, too! Stay tuned for my next post...my daughter's Belgium bedroom design! Thanks for the photos, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. -Callie<br />

As we enter the cooler days of winter, I'm finding myself wanting soft and cozy throws and pillows, twinkly candles and sparkly fairy lights. I can't help but think of the Danes and their need for hygge. In a nutshell, to me, the word means to surround yourself with things you love and admire, the great pleasures in life. Whether it be a group of friends or snuggling up in your husbands arms or a giant throw blanket, hygge is a fundamental part of everyone's life no matter where you are.<br />
<br />
So, yesterday I ventured out to a few stores to add a little bit of hygge to my home. I found a beautiful fluffy rug for our living space and some twinkling lights and candles for the dining room. I also love pulling out all of my grandmothers' quilts to put at the base of all of our beds and on the living room sofa. So, my lovely bloggers, here's a little inspiration for you. Happy Hygging! -Callie </div>

When I found this yummy recipe on <a href="http://www.roostblog.com/roost/pumpkin-spice-donuts-with-cinnamon-butter-glaze.html">Roost</a> for pumpkin spice cinnamon donuts I just had to share! They are a perfect treat on a chilly day and something that would be fun to make for a little get together with friends. -Callie </div>

I recently went away for a beach vacation with my 16 month old and had an adventure. A little travel always does a body good. Here's a little inspiration for you via <a href="http://pinterest.com/katespadeny/travel-colorfully/">Pinterest</a>. Doesn't it make you want to go somewhere fun in the sun? -Callie<br />
