We are in the final days before Christmas, and while I’m pretty much finished with my shopping (except maybe a few stocking stuffers and gift toppers), I still have lots of baking to do to make sure I can get our tokens of appreciation to the bus driver, mail delivery person, neighbors, coworkers and far-away…
gift guide for stocking stuffers
Today gift guide focuses on stocking stuffers for everyone on your list. I always save stocking stuffer items for last. I like to take inventory of the presents we have gotten for everyone, see if there are any small things that would pair nicely with our existing presents, or just smaller items that I think…

gift guide for the baker
As we head into the final weeks before Christmas, I have gift guides for people with specific interests.

holiday baking
It’s the time of the year where the fridge is stocked with butter and eggs, the oven is on overdrive and the aprons are constantly in use. This probably doesn’t come as a shock, but one of my favorite things about the holiday season is baking cookies and treats to share. I bring lots of…
december goals
December, December, the most wonderful time of the year is here! November was a whirlwind of activities and seemed to go on longer than usual (I think having half a week of the month left after Thanksgiving contributed to that). We have already started to get ready for Christmas and it makes me so happy….
