All week, I’ve been talking about holiday gifts… After all, the holiday season is now in full swing! I know Etsy’s been around for a while now, but in the last year I have really started doing some shopping on Etsy. And, I can’t get enough! So, for this week’s Friday Favorites, I thought I’d…
Each year, I do quite a bit of holiday baking… I’m sure that comes as no big surprise to most of you. I just love giving homemade goodies to all of our friends and family. Of all of the baking I do, I think cookies are my favorite. One of the things that I enjoy…
Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away… Are you ready?
My husband and I don’t usually go all out with Valentine’s Day… It’s just not our thing. There are no diamonds or extravagant gifts (though I wouldn’t be entirely opposed to that). We usually make a point to get each other a card and (when we remember) a small gift. Instead, we usually make a special dinner together (which is rare) and make some chocolate covered strawberries.

With the holidays coming up, we can all use some fresh new ideas for hostess gifts. I always like to keep a few small gifts on hand so that I have something when I need it. You never know when you’ll get invited to a party or a get together and you need a last…
I can’t believe it’s Friday already again. Even scarier is the fact that Christmas is now only three short weeks away! This fall has gone by in a flash… It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over and the Christmas season is now in full swing! So, if you’re still scrambling to catch up…
I have always enjoyed Christmas… ever since I was young. One of the things I love is putting together gifts for my friends and family. I don’t go for the gift cards and large store bought gifts, though. I enjoy gathering small, thoughtful gifts and putting them together with homemade items in gift baskets that I…
