Tiny Finds: Fun Size Snacks

7:43:55 by Anum | No Comments

Anything turned bite-size instantly wins me over. My newest find: mini caramel apples from FamilyFun. This adorable idea is a quick and easy way to make a classic snack more special. Just use a melon baller to scoop out pieces from the apple, add a lollipop stick, then dip and decorate! It makes a perfect party snack item, or you could even do a decorate-your-own buffet with a variety of toppings. Not to mention the tiny apples are so much easier, and less messy, to eat than a regular caramel apple. Both kids and adults will love this treat!

Tiny Finds: Bunting

For the past week I’ve been scouring the web looking for unique ways to decorate my shiny new apartment and I’ve come across something utterly adorable that I can’t stop thinking about! Whether you are decorating for a sweet soiree like a birthday party or baby shower, or just looking for an easy way to add color to a room—I bring you bunting!

The great thing about these garlands of happiness is that there are literally no limitations. Even the non crafty crowd can easily pull one off with a hole punch, colored paper and a little string.  Or you can find really cute ones to buy online!

Whenever I eventually clear the moving boxes out of the way, you can bet there will be some of these sweet designs making my new apartment a little brighter and in turn, a little homier. Since I’m so smitten with this tiny find, I’ll post a few more for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Tiny Pleasures: Roadside Farm Stands

12:00:06 by Jessy | No Comments

Having recently moved across the country, exploring my new surroundings has been top priority on my to-do list. My last few weekends have been filled with mini road trips and I’ve realized that nothing gets me more excited in the car than a tempting oasis on the side of the road. Be it a little mom n’ pop market, a majestic lookout point or even a little field of wildflowers, I love to make pit stops and check out the local offerings along the way. And since I hail from the Midwest, I simply can’t imagine life without roadside farm stands. Fresh flowers, local honey, strawberries that were picked that morning? Yes, please!

Much to my pleasure, these hidden gems are sprinkled all throughout California. And depending on where you live, you may likely discover one not far from home too! The best thing about pulling off the road to peruse a farm stand is you never know what you’ll find— making the overall trip that much more memorable. It’s a tiny pleasure I’ll always be on the lookout for.
