Last Christmas (like, literally- Christmas Day) I posted a photo on Instagram of the dessert I made to take to our family Christmas dinner and everyone begged for the recipe. I promised I’d post it before the following Christmas, and here we are! Signed, sealed, and delivered. Most people who know me, know that my […]

Happy Sunday ! I am a little late posting today because yesterday our family went to get our tree and stayed up way too late decorating it. You can see our photos on my Instagram ( I would love to follow you too! ) . I would also love to see all the holiday crafts […]
One of my very most favorite Christmas treats are cream cheese mints. And when I say “Christmas treats,” I really mean “any time treats.” But in my brain, these will always be Christmas mints (and Mormon wedding reception mints) because we always made these at Christmas when I was growing up. And the greatest part […]
I love Christmas books and this year I have gathered even more for you. 75 Christmas books for kids. You cna’t go wrong with this list, it’s got books for babies through school age and I even have reviews, almost all positive. Almost. This is a very very long post but I wanted the reviews […]
A few things that have made my pregnancy and first days of motherhood a pleasure! I’ll admit to slipping a cardigan over this comfy nursing gown for a quick Target run. It’s so cute, I doubt anyone knew I was in my nightie! ($68, belabumbum.com) I wanted to prep for a natural birth without taking […]
It’s coming to that time of the year when our outdoor time is limited. It is getting darker earlier, the cooler weather is starting to kick in, and of course there’s more rain and maybe even snow in the near future. To keep kids from going stir crazy while being stuck inside in the coming months, […]
There are so many great options for holiday photo cards, but I’m a big fan of I’m a big fan of Minted because their cards are sourced from a global community of independent graphic designers. Their cardstock is thick and includes a recycled option, and their designs are fresh and modern. But a huge draw […]
Extended Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana) This is one of our favorite poses for stretching the upper back and shoulders. Beginners should consider modifying the pose by placing their forehead on the mat. This will help relieve any potential strain in the neck. Start off in tabletop position and slowly walk the hands forward dropping your […]
I hope you all read today’s post title in an English accent. Actually, go ahead and read the whole post that way. And I’ll be sure to throw in lots of words like knickers, blimy, and collywobble. While we’re on this topic, say “Beer Can” in an English accent. No really, do it. Out loud. […]
I am so excited to be doing Christmas crafts! My kids are both begging to spend time at the art table, are coming up with their own ideas ( yay!) and I have so many posts waiting to be published. But that is what’s new with me. I want to know what’s new with you […]
The joy of giving. It’s not just a holiday catchphrase, it’s REAL. We’ve all felt that particular warmth that comes when we tap into our generous nature. But as the holiday season rachets up, giving translates into shopping which, depending on the length of your gift list, turns into a slog. Even the name "Black Friday" sounds bleak, don’t you […]
Maybe it’s that much-discussed pregnancy glow, or the knowledge that the finish line is near, or just really great genetics, but our December/January cover star Kourtney Kardashian’s recent nude photos for DuJour magazine are a reminder of how beautiful and amazing pregnancy is. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and mom tells the […]
