A year or two ago, my friend, Megan, made me business cards. Well not real business cards, dating cards. They featured a goofy, yet cute picture, contact information, and most importantly a list of my attributes. The funniest, yet most truth – SCARF ENTHUSIAST. Cold weather is back, and so is my enthusiasm!

This Halloween was our first in the new house, and our first time entertaining trick-or-treaters. We spent the evening on the porch with a few friends, plenty of adult beverages and our dog, Gibbs, who handled the influx of masked strangers with considerable poise.
With every batch of youngsters peddling jokes (that's a thing here in StL -- kids tell you a joke or ask you a riddle in exchange for candy) there was at least one very patient parent, braced for an impending sugar high and inevitable crash. To show the chaperones a little love, we recommend mixing up one of the following two recipes. Give these guys to the guardians in dixie cups, along with candy for the kiddos, and you're sure to be a fast neighborhood favorite.

Over Labor Day Weekend, the May clan had the honor of traveling to Ketchum, Idaho to witness the wedding of a childhood friend. Mitch was best man, but although the rest of us took our ranch wedding fashion just as seriously. We had to find outfits to complement the natural landscape, and obviously have our own mini photo shoot while the Bridal Party was doing the same. Below are our favorites and breakdowns of where you can find or replicate our outfits.

Everytime I go to make a casserole or other baked dish, I'm reminded once again why they are great friends to someone with a crazy travel schedule. If I can freeze it and it tastes as good later, that baked dish is a bro for life.

If you didn't know what you were walking into when you enter my friend's new bar, your head might explode with all the decor and happenings. But really, it's a tribute to one of his favorite places: the ruins pubs of Budapest. It's based upon how entrepreneurs in Budapest would take old, "ruined" buildings and transform them into great pubs.

We moved to St. Louis in February of this year, and although I caught the tail-end of winter I find myself completely unprepared, wardrobe-wise. I spent the entirety of those early weeks decked in Under Armour, over-sized college-era fleeces and snow boots, which hardly seems office-appropriate.
So, I'm welcoming the season by expanding the seasonal wardrobe.

I couldn't be more relieved! Peatey is going to be a lifelong freeloader in my little brain (Or for at least another year)!
Read MoreMeet "Peatey." He's a Brain Tumor, the Size of A Pea
There are about a million phrases in life that you can never imagine uttering. Some good. Some bad. You always hope that if you're going to have to say one of them, it will be the former.
For the past 6 months, I've been uttering the latter. It's just one of many things that I NEVER thought would happen to me (good and bad.)
I have a Brain Tumor. My friends helped me name him - Peatey. Because well, he's the size of a pea. And obviously, a boy!

I hosted a bachelorette party at the Humphrey House this weekend that was appropriately themed: Bubbles.
Read MoreGYSTS: Floating Shelving DIY
We have an expanse above our living room sectional that was in desperate need of some art. I had originally planned on hanging a gallery wall, but a little Pinterest digging revealed that a simple ledge provided a lot more flexibility -- with a lot less work.
