I heart Christmas!

I can't believe that tomorrow will be December 1st!!! I LOVE decorating for Christmas and now that we finally have our own home it is even more fun! However, an expensive and fancy wreath is not in the budget so....I decided to use a plain wreath as a base that I could change out decorations for every season or holiday! I bought the grapevine wreath from Joann's for about $5.00 and bought a variety of 50% off holiday decorations from Michaels. Below is the wreath I decorated for the fall and then the Christmas version. Oh, and I love birds so I thought it would be fun to add a different little birdie for each season!

This time of year is perfect for crafting; when it's cold and windy out and you just want to lounge in your sweats! I have so many ideas and can't wait to try them all! And after 2 days in a row of trips to Michaels with my mom, I have plenty to work on! I would love to see any of your holiday crafting ideas!

Giving Thanks

I don't know about you but I LOVE anything pumpkin! And this pumpkin roll recipe I tried out for Thanksgiving this year did not only look beautiful but tasted delicious as well! And it really is super easy to make! (Even if it doesn't look like it!!! I swear it is!) You can find the recipe here! 

And for those of you who look at that picture & think "yeah right!"- Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread and Muffin mix is Ahhhhmazing! Seriously! I like to make it as a bread and add chocolate chips! (The only way Ben will eat it!)


I am NOT a baker who objects to and is horrified by boxed cake mixes, especially when they are delicious! So why try to fix something that's not broken???! 


I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have very much to be thankful for; I know I do! :) 


Thank you to my family & friends who made this Thanksgiving so much fun!

I just love when I get to do super girly cookies! 

Keepin' it short and sweet this time!
