With all of the Christmas shopping and cooking that has to get done during the holiday season, you might have forgotten to add someone to your shopping list: your furry friends, of course! Pets are people, too, or at least that’s what I think. You don’t have to go all-out if you feel silly giving […]
Whether the holidays snuck up on you this year, you’re stuck for ideas, or you’ve just been too busy to go gift shopping, the fact is that plenty of people wait until the last minute to finish off their Christmas shopping. I’m usually one of them, and I can tell you firsthand that braving the […]
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to decorating for the holiday season, I’m usually looking for something cheap and simple but still festive. Our house always plays host to both Thanksgiving AND Christmas dinners, so every year it seems like before I’ve even gotten the last of the cranberry sauce out of […]
Nothing gets me into the holiday spirit more than some fun Christmas crafts. I love home decor, so any excuse I have to combine my love of crafting with my Christmas decorating ideas is a win in my book! A great DIY Christmas decoration that you can whip up in a hurry is a tree […]
When there’s a new baby in the family, you know how important it is to make all of their first holidays a magical experience.

We’ve survived Thanksgiving! The dishes have (hopefully) been washed, the relatives have (hopefully) left, and the leftovers are (hopefully) delicious. It’s always tough to say goodbye to family you don’t get to see very often, but the holidays are coming up quick so we’ll see them all again soon. Now that we’re done digesting, why […]
When I think about Christmas, I think of a well-decorated tree, a fire crackling on the hearth, and, hanging right above the fireplace, a brightly-colored Christmas stocking hanging up and waiting for Santa. Now that I’m older I might not necessarily figure Santa as much into the equation, but every year without fail there […]
When I think “cozy,” the idea of curling up in a log cabin comes to mind, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and surrounded by peaceful woods. Add a cup of hot chocolate and a warm blanket to the daydream and I’m just about falling asleep! As nice as it is to […]
When the weather gets chilly, there’s only one thing I can think of: warm food.
