Yay Nola--I probably would have given you a vote just for representing local design, but it helps that I actually really like the space too :)

Abita Strawberry is one of my favorites! Here in New Orleans the arrival of this beer at bars is a sign of Spring. Covington Strawberry Ale is a decent second choice, but only once the Abita is gone for the season.

Though there are tons of art choices, something like this print might be a fun choice: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59911577/mum-13-x-19-inch-fine-art-print?ref=sr_gallery_10&ga_search_query=yellow+orange+pink+kids&ga_noautofacet=1&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade%2Fart

Also, don't feel that every item that goes into the room has to be all three colors--particularly as, when your daughter decides she *actually* really loves purple next year, you can trade out a few of the accessories without starting totally over. Have fun!

The buffalo mac and cheese recipe is one of my great guilty pleasures--a bit of work and time to put together, but really, really good.

My immersion blender is one of the best appliances I own. After getting one, I can't believe I lived without it--so easy to use and clean and it doesn't take up much room to store. Even if you only use it to make soups and sauces this will be worth it.

This article was far from inspiring; I even support limiting waste and I wanted to mock this woman. Instead of offering reasonable suggestions, this article makes people who limit their waste and consumption seem insane. Come on, she puts the strips back in the netflix envelopes? No thanks.

I love cranberries and would happily eat it both ways, but deep down, I like the canned jell version better. That being said, for Thanksgiving itself, I always make it from scratch because it just looks so much nicer set out on the table than my much-loved wobbly cylinder.

Aww, as a Santa Cruz native, now far away, it was great to see this walking tour. Nice job.

Caramelized Pineapple Tiramisu! I can eat pans of this stuff. My only changes are more pineapple and in the coffee/tea mixture, I like to add more tea and less coffee.
