Welcome Back to the Retro Re-pin Party! I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday with family! We drove from Denver to Austin for the holiday (14 hours in the car - woo!) and enjoyed some overdue time with family. We also celebrated my mom's 60th birthday on the 22nd by throwing her a surprise wine and cheese party this past Saturday. All her friends were in on it, and my sister and I came up ...
Retro Re-pin Party #22 Featuring Homemade Vanilla Sugar
It's time to Retro Re-pin Party! This week has finally felt like Christmas around here. I went to my first holiday party - a book swap with my book club. We each brought a book we really love and exchanged them with a little poem. Whichever book we ended up with will be what we read for January's book club meeting. When I first joined the book club, I had no idea how much I'd come to enjoy ...
Retro Re-pin Party #21 featuring Sweet Potato Nachos
Get your Pinterest pins ready because it's time for the Retro Re-pin Party! I just got home from the most wonderful food eating trip to Portland. You can read all about it here in my post from this morning. It's been a bit crazy to be travelling so much. I've been ordering packages left and right for holiday gifts and trying to time them so they'd arrive when we were actually in town and ...
Retro Re-pin Party #20 Featuring a Round Up of Unique Pie Crusts
It's Time for the Retro Re-pin Party! I hope you each had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving so much that I actually had 2 Thanksgivings - one friendsgiving a few days early and then a Thanksgiving with my sister-in-law in Washington DC on the actual day. The benefit of hosting a friendsgiving is that we still get to have leftovers at home even if we celebrated out of state. (Though I ...
Retro Re-pin Party #19 Featuring Prosciutto Pear Bites
It's time to throwback with the Retro Re-pin Party! Y'all, Thanksgiving is coming!!!!! I seriously can not WAIT for Thanksgiving. Just 9 more days!! As a food blogger, it's pretty much our biggest holiday. I think November may as well be national food blogger month. (Anyone want to join me on that? We can just tell everyone that Thanksgiving is a feast in our honor and the parades are for ...
Retro Re-pin Party #18 featuring Cherry Cheesecake Bites
Welcome again to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week has been a crazy drop in the weather here in Denver! Monday morning it was about 50 degrees when I left the house for work, and by the time I got home it was 20 degrees and there was snow on the ground. Today has been even crazier with 3 inches of snow and 11 degrees outside. I'm headed to a meeting tonight and planning to try to get away ...
Retro Re-pin Party #17 Featuring Caramel Apple Nachos
It's time once again for the Retro Re-pin Party! Did everyone have a good Halloween? We didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as we typically do, so I had a TON of candy left over. Do you have any leftover Halloween candy ideas for me? I have no idea what to do with it all. (Besides eat it - breakfast of champions right?) I actually felt so guilty about eating all the candy this ...
Retro Re-pin Party#16 Featuring Pork Carnitas and Candy Corn Rice Krispies!
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week I have gone absolutely pumpkin crazy. I've been holding off on the pumpkin spice all the things craze, but I just had to jump on the bandwagon for the week of Halloween. It's our family tradition! What's your favorite pumpkin recipe? I've got some Pumpkin Spice Kettle Corn and some Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spinach Mac and Cheese on ...
Retro Re-pin Party #15
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! My post is a tad bit late today (Shhhh, please don't tell anyone) because I just spent 5 hours driving around town in search of 5 sheets of plain white foam core board to make a DIY light box. After lucking out at Joanns, Michaels, Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, and Walgreens I FINALLY found some at a Wal-Mart that was nowhere near where I ...
Retro Re-pin Party #14!
It's Retro Re-pin Party time y'all! I was realizing today that I should probably have my Halloween decorations up by now. I went out last year just after Halloween and managed to score some great stuff on clearance, so I should probably get it down from the attic and put it out before it's time to take it down again. Are you ready for Halloween at your house? Do you have ...
Retro Re-pin Party #13!
Welcome again to the Retro Re-pin Party! The weather has definitely been Fall-like here in Denver lately. We're in that in-between time where it's too cool for A/C and not cold enough that I have to turn on the heat. I like the idea of a month without a crazy energy bill. :) I've been going crazy on Pinterest lately looking at Fall and Halloween ideas and preparing for a ...
Retro Re-pin Party #12!
Welcome to another week of the Retro Re-pin Party! I can't wait to see what Pinterest goodies y'all have to share. I'm in search of some yummy slow cooker recipes for my Crocktober series, so be sure to link those up if you have them. I'd also love to see your ideas for fall decorations, Halloween costumes, and football watch parties. October is an exciting month at Sustaining the ...
