Not ready to say Christmas is over, but I'm lookin

Not ready to say Christmas is over, but I'm looking forward to what the new year brings. This week I'll be thinking about what that means for us. I'm ready to set new goals, new dreams, and push forward to 2021. Anyone else feeling the same? 🌟

Merry Christmas from us! 🎄🎅🏻❄️♥️

Making our home smell like Christmas the next 2 da

Making our home smell like Christmas the next 2 days because IT IS CHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas Eve everyone. I loooove the smell of this Christmas potpourri simmering on low next to me while I cook and bake all day. I've linked this simple recipe on my blog with a fun reel on how I throw it all together 🎄 Do you have any fun recipes you'll be making?

Finally hung my annual orange garland on the mantel. This year I used our dried oranges for a table centerpiece, but I had leftover oranges from my gift wrap project. A pop of color is just what my white mantel needed 🍊

Thea and I made these gingerbread cookies and they

Thea and I made these gingerbread cookies and they are so tasty! I love gingerbread cookies that are soft with lots of spice and just the right amount of sweetness. I ditched the royal icing and made my own buttercream cream cheese icing. Much better and I love they turned out. I was in a little bit of a rush icing the snowflakes with Thea waking up from a nap, but I am proud of how they turned out overall 😌 We'll be making another batch and licking up, I mean using the rest of our icing ❄️ ✨Recipe linked in bio!

🎄I've been thinking about how I want to spend C

🎄I've been thinking about how I want to spend Christmas over the next few days. This month has flown by, because time flies when you're having fun. We've made crafts (mostly me while Thea is asleep). We've baked (again me, while Thea eats the dough). We have watched Christmas movies and listened to Like It's Christmas over and over. I've taken photos and made memories, but the memories that stay with you are the ones that you are present for. I am reminding myself, and you, that as the next few days approach I want to do the following: 1. Remove Distractions - I want to take a little time out to put my phone, iPad, even Christmas movies on Netflix away to be present in the moment. Today I turned my phone completely off to go on a walk with Thea. I'm making time for more of those moments over the next few days to celebrate the holiday. 2. Quality Time - While the devices are away, play a game or have a good conversation over a glass of wine by the fire. This is about spending quality time that can be done the old-fashioned way. 3. Be Still - Sometimes when I feel that I have been rushing around, I take a moment to sit on the floor with Thea. It gives me a moment to be still and ground myself in her love for a moment.
4. Take Photos - As a photographer, I had to put this one in. Photography isn't for now, it's for later. Your memories may slightly fade over time, but photos will put you right back in those moments. I love using my Polaroid camera as a way to not get distracted with my phone, but if you need your phone just put it away after and stay present! 5. Take a walk - Yes, it's cold, but we can all use the fresh air right now. This is a great time to leave your phone at home and enjoy the crisp air and the Christmas lights outside. Has anyone else been thinking of ways to slow down and live intentionally over the next few days with the holiday?

GOOEY CINNAMON ROLLS are back by popular demand. J

GOOEY CINNAMON ROLLS are back by popular demand. Joel and I have been making this cinnamon roll recipe since our first year of marriage in our first apartment. Its been perfected overtime, making it better and better every year. We make these cinnamon rolls every Christmas as a family tradition. The dough gets prepped on Christmas Eve for a fun day of baking, placed in the oven overnight to rise, then baked early in the morning for breakfast. We like our cinnamon rolls fluffy with lots of brown sugar cinnamon flavor and frosting that has just the right amount of sweetness. We add a dash of heavy cream for the cinnamon rolls to soak up just before baking, which is our secret to gooey rolls! It provides a tasty flavor while keeping the dough moist and chewy. #cinnamonroll #cinnamonrolls #homemadecinnamonrolls ◠ RECIPE IN BIO - Try it, enjoy it, let me know how you like it. Ps. Did anyone see the Christmas star? ✶

A friend of mine asked if I had any ideas for easy

A friend of mine asked if I had any ideas for easy, cute, and affordable gift wrap to make unique gifts this Christmas. I had been asking myself the same thing. I've seen cloth wrapped gifts trending a lot this year and wanted to put my own spin on it. Cloth wrapping is an actual method called Furoshiki. Furoshiki are a type of sustainable Japanese wrapping cloths traditionally used to wrap gifts and goods. For these gifts, I bought fabric from the discount bin at Joann's. You can also use flour sack cloths from Target for $3.99. I used dried oranges and pompous stems for the accents. I've linked everything in my blog post!
