You know what bugs me about Christmas decor? It stays the same every single year. Which oddly enough is also what I love about it. Let me explain. You know the magic that you feel when you open up the ornament box and pull out your very favorite Christmas ornament, assuming the kiddos didn't smash it up while dragging the box out of storage of course. For me it's a huge glass bulb with a golden ... [ read more... ]

Holly Berry Cupcakes
Is anybody else secretly counting the days to Thanksgiving? Not because of the Turkey and all the amazing food of course, because of what comes after Thanksgiving. No, not the crazy American tradition of wandering around as food stuffed zombies at all hours of the night to buy things things at crazy low prices either. We're talking about that time when it's finally totally socially acceptable to ... [ read more... ]

Deep Dish Peppermint Cookie
It's Christmas time! It's Christmas time! I just can't help but LOVE this time of year. While I try to keep cool on the outside and be you know, the responsible cool headed adult who isn't counting down the days at all...on the inside I'm totally Buddy the elf. I am SO pumped to start popping a little buddy the Elf into the DVD player. “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for ... [ read more... ]

I know it's kinda silly because most people crave something they have baked and loved and want to make it again…but me, I'm always wanting to try something new! With all the combos out there…there's only so many baking spots in life to fill! Which kind of creates a problem because of course friends and family have their favs ... [ read more... ]

Merry & Bright Christmas Bulb Cookies
2014 is coming to a close, and if I were to sum up our year in two words it would be "Chaos & Crazy". Not that it's been a bad year, it has been a great year but so much going on in every which way, hardly a moment to stop. This year we're closing out the year with a bang as I wrap up the final edits of the book (eeekkkkkkkkk) and we fight our traditional Christmas flu. Yep, it's one of our crazy ... [ read more... ]

Peppermint Crunch Sugar Cookies
I simply can not wrap my head around the fact that Christmas is just days way. Days! It seems like no matter how hard I try, there is just never enough time at Christmas time. My "to do" list is always twice as long as the hours in the day, especially this year. Normally I have all sorts of goodies stored up in the freezer to easily pull out and serve at events as they come and go. Just has not ... [ read more... ]
