Happy December! And welcome to the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. 🙂 As we go through our first holiday season in our new home, I am so looking forward to finding and starting traditions we can have each year as our family grows. One classic tradition I've actually never done is an Advent Calendar! [...]
Okay, I'm going to put this disclaimer right up front: THESE ARE HARD! Not specifically this pumpkin version, but rather macarons in general. They're the most temperamental bake I've ever made. But I think I've finally gotten it right! This batch was the best I've done yet. Of course I'll list all of the ingredients [...]
I made this recipe three times last year over the holidays and that STILL wasn't enough. Everybody loved it! People were constantly asking me to make it again. It's particularly fitting for the holiday season, but this dish makes a killer side any time of year. (And if you have a sweet tooth, this may [...]
I'm not sure if it was one crazy smart person, or the culmination of those over time, but it was an intense power move to associate a heightened sense of status and importance with the idea of busyness. Think about it - we envy the mom who seems to 'do it all', a comment about [...]
New + beginning bread maker here. 🙋🏽♀️ This is only about the third time I've made some type of bread. Previously I've tried rolls and biscuits - one worked, one failed dramatically, neither were flavored. This recipe was made as a loaf (but can be easily adjusted into rolls) and includes flavors of molasses, honey, [...]
I may be biased here. I've done this for years and years and years now. It first started off just tagging along with my mom. Then I ventured off by myself. Now I get to take along my almost-hubby. 😍 (Sweetest thing ever - if your significant other is even somewhat into this sort of [...]
Happy fall y'all!! It is my FAVORITE season of the year and I spend as much time as I can in aaaall the coffee shops. I always get so excited when Hobby Lobby has their fall themed aisles way too early (you know, in early August or maybe even late July) just because I know [...]
A collection of good coffee looks that inspire me to drink more coffee today... as if I needed any more motivation there. Enjoy the aesthetics xx.
Here it is!! My very first plant project!! It’s small, nothing too ambitious but that’s exactly what I need. It’s beginner level. Growing up I was sort of known for having a black thumb - every plant, flower, or growing thing I tried to love on very rudely died. But in my defense, it was [...]
I’ll admit it - I kind of hopped on the Earth Day trend. It wasn’t until everyone started posting all these things about loving the planet and ‘going green’ on Earth Day of 2019 that I really paid much attention to the topic at all. But hey, here we are [however many months] later, all [...]
