Not sure if you noticed in my latest kitchen post but I have this beautiful burled wood basket on my countertop that is carved out of a solid piece of wood. I've been using this basket as a place to keep my bread for years. I bought mine at Homegoods for around $40, but today they are being sold at One Kings Lane for around $40. :) Glad to see I didn't overpay. There are all sorts of beautiful root platters and root bowls and root baskets that are all pretty much one of a kind since you ... Read More about Get back to your roots!

A rustic elegant couple’s shower
Last night we threw a couples wedding shower for my new coworker Shannon and his beautiful bride-to-be, BJ.

Garrett’s Christmas 2010 recap
It seems like Christmas 2010 lasted forever here at the Unskinny Boppy house. We put up the tree the week before Thanksgiving, so the house was in super holiday spirit mode for longer than normal. The past few years we've made excuses for not decorating very much because I was either pregnant or we had the house for sale or we were on a cruise from hell. This year we had nothing stopping us from decorating as much as we wanted, so we got a little overzealous. Did anyone else have about six ... Read More about Garrett’s Christmas 2010 recap
