When I was about nineteen, I used to work at the mall. There was one kiosk that sold candied pecans and the sweet smell would lure you right to them! I took a chance on this wonderful sweet smell, never having tried them before, and quickly fell in love with this sugar coated nut. Around […]
We’re getting closer to the Winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. The shadows on my wall in this post are proof that the daylight has shifted since you were last here. As I write this, it’s ten days before Christmas! It’s as if after we hit Thanksgiving, time sped up and here we […]
‘Tis the season for baking sweet things that taste like memories! During this time of year, so many of us bring out those old recipe cards or whip up something we know by heart, something that might have even been passed down through the family that reminds you of Christmas past. Those are my favorite […]
Back in the Winter, I showed you how I decorated for Christmas 2018 and transitioned it into Winter. I mentioned how I might share what I did the year before just to document and compare, but life happened and here we are! Christmas in July it is! So, let’s get into my DeLorean and travel […]
The cookies, treats, and food have been eaten. The tree may be on its way down this weekend, if not before. We’ve prepared for the Holiday season for at least a month – poured over our to-do list, shopped, wrapped, decorated, visited with family and friends. And in a blink of an eye it’s all […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! It hit me earlier in the month that 15 years ago yesterday, David asked me out for the first time (which lasted two weeks. Ha! You know what they say about second chances – if it comes back, its yours!) The fact I can even say I’ve known him for fifteen years just leaves […]
Ever since Christmas, I’ve been so excited decorating for different occasions and seasons now that we have our very own home. Valentine’s Day was no exception! Not only do I want to show you the little touches I’ve done to our home for V-Day, but also Whole Foods Market has teamed up with the blog […]
Today I’m thankful for the extra cash working at a craft fair for the weekend. The fair is mostly Christmas related, so it’s awesome for me to be surrounded by all that creative Christmas energy. I eat it up! The last two days have been particularly busy at the fair, and I’ve come home so […]
For a while, I’ve thought about vlogging (still up in the air if we’ll start doing that), but Snapchat let me get some practice in last week when I documented making fudge for my Dad’s birthday. I think we need to make a drinking game for all the times I say “also” and “so“. I […]
1. Do you like to stay in your PJ’s, or dress up for Christmas? This totally depends on what we’re going to be doing that day. Normally, I stay in my pajamas if we’re not going anywhere or having company over (much like any day off for me, let’s be honest) 2. If you could […]
