I knew these two weeks would be crazy, so I prepared a post ahead of time for today: Road Trip Trail Mix. Then something else happened…I GOT ENGAGED. Sorry trail mix, you’re not exciting enough anymore. My fiancé (!!!!!) and I have been dating for 7 years. We met at orientation the summer before our freshman year at Boise State University. Both of us were out of state students, didn’t know anyone there, and we just hit it off. We’ve been together ever since! We’ve been together … [Read more…]
Hi friends! Things are getting a bit hectic around LDB right now, which is odd for this time of year. I feel like late winter/early spring there’s usually nothing going on. We started January by making a list of goals for the blog this year and commited to making some big changes. We’re now an official LLC (yay!!) and have hired someone to help with our pinterest (check it out here!). Stephanie took both a cake decorating class and a wordpress class through her local community center, and … [Read more…]
Let’s get this out in the open: I love wine. We always have wine in the house and I don’t believe it needs a special occasion to be opened. I have an overflowing shelf of corks, just waiting for a craft night. My family constantly posts wine related things on my facebook page (a sink faucet that wine comes out of?? Where do I sign?!) and my aunt even made me an apron with wine fabric on it. Needless to say…it’s a bit of an obsession. This is where Bright Cellars comes in. They are a … [Read more…]
How is it 2015?! I say this every year…but I really can’t believe how fast this one went. It was a big year for LDB! We traveled to Portland, Oregon together and attempted to eat our way through the city. We spent a beautiful weekend in Napa, California for a friends’ wedding and met our first blogging friend in real life, Jules! We also celebrated our 1 Year Blogiversary. Looking back, our top 5 posts were: Dark Chocolate Orange Cupcakes Chocolate Chip Cookies: The … [Read more…]
If you remember, Kelly and I originally started doing Monthly Musings here on LDB. Once a month we would post our current ramblings or fill you in on life. However as we’ve gotten more in the swing of things with creating and posting recipes regularly, the Monthly Musings have fallen by the wayside. We’ve decided they will now be more of a Quarterly Musings kind of thing. Or basically just whenever we want them 😉 This fall went by so fast, I can’t believe it! Though looking back through … [Read more…]

We were very excited and honored when Liz from Floating Kitchen nominated us for a Liebster Award! A Liebster Award is passed from one blogger to another, typically those who are “newer” bloggers, and it is a way for us to get to know each other and for our readers to get to know us. It’s kind of a “tag, you’re it!” kind of thing. We tell you a little about ourselves, answer the questions from Liz, nominate more bloggers, then ask them questions! It was so fun to learn more about Liz and have an … [Read more…]
We were approached by Ashley from The Wine Stain to do a guest post on friendship and we couldn’t be more excited! And nervous, too! Writing about ourselves is so much harder than writing about cookies! We wanted to spend a little time talking first about us, and how we became friends, and also about how we are able to keep our friendship going across the miles. Here’s some of the highlights. Can you guess who said what?? I start getting really hot, kind of light-headed, dizzy…I’m going to … [Read more…]
Our friends over at Simply Living tagged us in this fun game…Then & Now! Where we look back and compare life as it used to be to how it is now. Here it goes! THEN: ~2004 (high school) NOW: ~2014 (post college) … [Read more…]
