I’m starting this post with a big, bold PSA … YOU NEED 18+ HOURS OF PREP AND RISING TIME TO CREATE THIS BREAD. DO NOT START THIS RECIPE ONE HOUR BEFORE DINNER. With that said, it’s totally worth it. And truly very, very easy. And the results are magnificent! There is just nothing like warm, …
It may be my Type-A personality, or perhaps my college major of business, but I’m all about goals. Not so much New Year’s resolutions, but goals. Goals are my jam. They make me happy and help me to feel organized. My list of goals are outlined each year ’round about this time – post Christmas, pre-January …

1) Participate in a Polar Express inspired train ride. 2) Make ornaments! These are my favorite, of course, but Pinterest is booming with kid-friendly ornament ideas. Just search “DIY ornaments” and you’ll be feeling crafty for days. 3) Visit Santa … and not just the mall ones. My favorite Santas to visit seem to be the …
First comes love, then comes marriage, then come the melding of a million traditions! Oh, traditions! And then comes the baby in the baby carriage … and, of course, another round of traditions! Since my husband and I wed in 2007 we’ve evaluated a lot of the traditions we grew up with, the ones we want to keep …
Our tree is simple and sweet this year – white lights, a ribbon garland and homemade cinnamon ornaments. These ornaments are the perfect Christmas craft and ensure that your home will billow the scent of Christmas all December long! Earlier this week my daughter and I mixed the cinnamon dough in our trusty KitchenAid and …
Sometimes the most important part of gift giving is understanding your recipient. Are they vegetarian? Do they enjoy fashion? Are their children young (and therefore, every gift must be washable)? Today I thought it would be fun to introduce you all to some gift ideas for those crunchy moms. The ones who read ingredient labels …
It’s late at night as I type this and, friends, I’m drooling just thinking of these divine little treat. Blueberry Streusel Twists are a must have this fall. Well, if I’m being perfectly honest they’re a must for winter, spring and summer too. A sweet brunch item or a dessert everyone will rave about, whenever …
