Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? How in the world can it already be April? This year has flown by, and even though I can’t believe Easter is right around the corner, it’s happening just the same. As far as holidays go, I am a big Easter fan. Of course, the meaning of […]

With every Christmas card I write {+ Christmas cocktail recipe}
I don’t know about you, but I just find something so special about receiving mail. When I was little, I loved running out to the mailbox and checking for surprises. More often than not, the only things delivered were bills and advertisements. Still, I lived for the possibility that a handwritten note would be mixed within. […]
The important lesson I learned from my Christmas village
One of my favorite things to do each holiday season is set up our Christmas village. There are numerous pieces, and each one comes together to form a cozy little town on the buffet in my dining room. We turn the light bulbs on inside the ceramic homes and buildings, and watch as the imaginary […]
25 cheesy holiday movies: the advent calendar you need this year

Unwrapping a new holiday tradition
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well honestly, it looks like a Hobby Lobby exploded in my living room. We got all of our decorations out this weekend, but haven’t yet put them up. Which means, there are just piles of glitter and ribbon and red fabric all over my couches. I can’t […]

My favorite things… stocking stuffer edition!
Can you even believe we’re talking about Christmas already? If you’re like me and refuse to accept that Christmas is coming until AFTER Thanksgiving, it’s time to start preparing for that reality because Thanksgiving is only a week away, folks. Last year, my holiday season flew by. Between moving houses and having a six-month-old, I […]
A spooktacular Halloween
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! It’s one of my favorite holidays for two reasons. One, I’ve always loved to dress up and make believe. I think it’s the storyteller in me. And two, it marks the unofficial start of the holiday season! Can you believe it’s November? I’m afraid to blink, or I’ll […]
