Pasta with Creamy Butternut Squash Sauce

I used to have an obsession with butternut squash. When I was living on my own, I didn't buy a ton of different stuff all the time. I found something I liked, and I stuck with it.

DIY Pom Pom Duvet Cover + Fabric Dying

I was once so in love with our current duvet cover that I wanted the entire Urban Outfitters waterfall ruffle collection to fill my apartment in waves and waves of ruffley goodness.

While I love the combination, I think an even more palette-pleasing combination is to combine it with lemon. In this case, a creamy lemon buttercream ...

TBT - France | An Evening in Paris

Our final drive in the RV from Chartres to Paris was true to form, in that we got horribly lost and drove around the city for well over an hour. We were trying to find the metro station Ponte De Versailles - not to be confused with the Palace of Versailles. We learnt that the hard way. Anyways, after we finally dropped off ...
