Magical Realism

I love magical realism. Specifically, I love works of children's fiction in the form of magical realism that have morals or spiritual elements to them (The Alchemist, The Chronicles of Narnia, even Twilight).... I just finished a new series by Brandon Mull called Fablehaven (available on http://www.amazon.com/) - So entirely blissful to find a new series! A fantastic story of siblings, magic, adventure, good and evil, friendship, and of course, the power of love and purpose.

Wine and Cheese Tray

When I saw this Cheese Palette by Ritzy Bee Events, I thought it was incredibly creative and looked divinely delicious. Perfect with a nice glass of Chardonnay at cocktail hour. Then I found out - it's DIY. I am in love!
