Guinness Chocolate Cake

Eats
It's that time of year where second winter tends to hit this side of the hemisphere. It's that hope you feel in your chest that spring is just around the corner and then BAM, winter's back.

 Instead of crying and crawling back into bed and waiting for May to come around, you should bake this cake and then crawl back into bed. With St. Patrick's day around the corner, there's no better time to make a guinness chocolate cake.

Officially Addicted

Mugs. 
Something everyone needs, loves and collects whether you'd like to admit that or not. My mug collection has slowly been growing over the past few years and to be honest, nothing makes me happier! There's something about opening up your cupboard and choosing a mug suiting your mood at that exact second, or picking the perfect mug for the evening company you over for causal chit-chat and desserts.

Cookie Monster... Or Monster Cookies?

Eats
Anything falling under the category of dessert (and of course chips... lots of chips) is the key to our hearts. This is a chocolate chip cookie recipe I found while creeping Tanya Burr's blog! It is hands down the easiest recipe I have ever made, and to be honest, the most delicious. These cookies are so large that the entire recipe only makes about 10 cookies... and yes it's completely acceptable to eat an entire cookie, maybe even two!

Nothing beats the smell of christmas

Eats
There is something about the smell of Christmas that's like no other. Every year I always comment about how excited I am for the smell of the Christmas tree or the freshly baked cookies I've got going in the oven. By far though, one of my favourites is mulled wine!
Mulled wine is something I have never actually made myself, but have always enjoyed drinking! When I was searching for a recipe, there were so many variations that I couldn't choose between them, so I decided to mash a few together for the perfect recipe!

Cake In a Jar

Creative

Welcome to the Do It Yourself Gift Series!

I'm just going to throw this out there and say Pam & I are obsessed with crafting. Give us some glue (preferably glitter), scissors and paper and we are so content. For me, I love nothing more than finishing a project I've been working on and immediately sending a picture of it to Pam to show her how pleased I am with myself and how fabulous...or unfortunate (yes, this happens on a regular basis) it's turned out. For the next four days, we are going to be posting our favourite DIY gifts for you, along with super easy how-to steps so you can become just as craft obsessed as we are!

Edmonton & Area Handmade Market and Activity Roundup

Christmas
So Anthie and I have been cranking out gift guides like the good lil' Christmas helpers we are, and I thought I would take it a step further by creating a list (we like lists around here) of some handmade markets and events happening around the city of Edmonton. Jason Blower, who does some amazing illustrations of our city was kind enough to let us showcase his art (yay local art!) and I'll be sharing some of my favourites in this post!
