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

Yesterday I posted a gift guide for all of the women in your life. Today, we are moving on to the guys with a gift guide for him! Just like in yesterday’s gift guide, there are gifts of all price ranges so you can get a great gift for grandpa, the perfect present for your…

stocking stuffers under $35
My favorite Christmas morning tradition is opening stockings with all of my family next to a blazing fire and a beautifully lit tree on Christmas morning. When my siblings and I were little, we would hand out everyone’s stockings so we could all open them at the same time. There is something exciting about stocking…
adult hot chocolate with peppermint, gingerbread and eggnog marshmallows
Last week my younger sister turned 21. Since it is December and we have to celebrate a 21st birthday properly, I give you homemade adult hot chocolate with peppermint, gingersnap and eggnog marshmallows. Woah. I am usually a tea person, but there is something about December, the crisp air and the festivities that make me…
