I have to be honest, before I created this recipe I did not like gingerbread cookies. I always found them to be difficult to make, too spicy, and I am not a huge fan of cinnamon. However, I love to decorate them and gingerbread cookies are a Christmastime essential. I played around with some recipes […]
I recently published a stocking stuffer guide for her and for him and I thought that a Part III for babies and toddlers would be a helpful addition to my gift guides. I have to be honest: before having a kid I would have no idea what to pick up for a baby or toddler […]
Happy First Day of Christmas, everyone! (I mean, it’s the day after Thanksgiving so it’s officially Christmastime, right?) I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Our holiday was a bit more quiet than usual, but the food was just as delicious as always. With that all being said, after dinner is cleaned up on […]
Happy Monday, everyone! Last week I published an Amazon stocking stuffer guide for her and this week I wanted to publish a Part II of the collection for him! As I mentioned in my previous post, I think the stocking tradition at Christmas is so much fun and I look forward to it every year. […]

Earlier this week I wrote about re-organizing my life, and one of the first things I decided to do was organize my agenda and OMG! I feel like a literal weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I do not know about anyone else, but if my plans and to-do lists are not in […]
Sadly (for some of us), Halloween is over. Personally, October is my favorite time of year and I do become sad when the Halloween festivities come to an end. I enjoy the whole month and celebrate Halloween throughout the entirety of October. I love scary movies, costumes, spooky decorations, pumpkin spice lattes, and just about […]
Is there anything better than curling up with a good book or story in front of a warm fire with a cup of hot cocoa? Probably not. I’m sharing some of my favorite Christmastime literature below. Let me know what you guys think! A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens (1843) Dicken’s A Christmas Carol is probably the quintessential Christmas […]
