It was snowing when I woke up the day after Thanksgiving. It was beautiful and magical and we made a quick pact to stay cuddled inside all day. Originally the plan was (because it always is) to get the tree that day but the freezing temperatures and the quiet snow and the icy roads kept us in. I didn't mind. This is kind of a big deal for me because this girl loves her plans but the idea of being trapped at home - with nowhere to go and nothing to do (nothing but everything ;) ) was so ... continue reading...
Cinnamon Fruit Dip
I'm a snacker. I love having snacks during movies, on my desk all day while I am working, in my purse, and during any kind of sporting event. In fact, I could easily eat snacks all day and never sit down for a full meal but I have a husband who seems to think that popcorn doesn't count as dinner ;) Just like Cinderella's fairy god mother, "I'm liking fruit & veg" for my snack choice (please say you know that quote! It is one of my favorite lines in the whole movie!!) Since it is the holiday ... continue reading...
Happy Thanksgiving
I wanted to use a picture of a beautiful pecan pie for this post but I have yet to make it (or photograph it) yet so I'm going with this one. I am hoping that when I do get around to making my pie it does turn out pretty so that I can have a photo for next year ;) I wanted to pop in to say Happy Thanksgiving and to encourage you to slow down because holidays can be crazy but it will go by so fast. Right about now I'll be making a pie and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. ... continue reading...

I've always loved the idea of gift baskets! Remember all those silent auctions you had when you needed to raise money for a mission trip or camp trip as a kid? I LOVED them. I would put together a "Stay Cozy" or "Date Night" basket together and then wander around the room looking at what all the other students brought to the auction! I wanted to buy them all but alas I was in middle school and obviously needing to raise money for the trip! I still love Gift Baskets to this day - they are a fun ... continue reading...
Blogging with my Lenovo All-In-One
When I first started blogging all I had was a little laptop and lots of random words swirling around in my head. As I've continued on this journey, a love for photography has emerged along with a million other little things. It is seriously humorous to me when I think about where I started and where I am now - I never dreamed I would be where I am today! It doesn't take long to outgrow your old ways of doing things in the blogging would - before I knew it I needed a DSLR, lightroom, and a ... continue reading...
