I am excited to host my husband's family for Christmas Eve this year, and I've been planning ahead for the meal and table settings this week. Planning ahead helps me control what I can control. I saw my turquoise napkins in a drawer the other day, and it inspired me for my Christmas Eve table setting. I… Continue reading Christmas Eve Tablescape

High Five For Friday!
I love Cyber Monday! On Monday I finished all my Christmas shopping while on my couch, in my pj's! I got some great deals on things for my family...and I got a few things for myself. The Body Shop ran a 50% off + free shipping sale, and I just couldn't resist! I follow Essie… Continue reading High Five For Friday!
Staying Organized At Christmas
My brain is now in full Christmas mode. It's so much fun to get ready for all the various Christmas parties and gatherings throughout December...but it can also get a little hairy. I create a gift organizer every year to keep myself on track so I don't forget anyone or go over budget. I like… Continue reading Staying Organized At Christmas
How To Roast A Whole Chicken
One of my favorite Sunday dinners is Roast Chicken. Tender, juicy chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and rolls always hits the spot! It does take a little bit of work, but it's not a difficult recipe to conquer. I love that it only takes a few ingredients to put a glamorous entree… Continue reading How To Roast A Whole Chicken
No-Fuss Crock Pot Nachos
My hubs and I love a good plate of beefy, cheesy, slightly spicy nachos. I can't bring myself to pay for Velveeta, so I've been on the hunt for a good nacho recipe that doesn't break my budget. Campbells Nacho Cheese soup makes a great base for these nachos. I haven't been able to find… Continue reading No-Fuss Crock Pot Nachos
I Give You Thanks!
On the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims thanked the Almighty for the food and circumstances that provided for their survival. President Lincoln declared in 1863 that Thanksgiving would be a national celebration, a time set aside to acknowledge the "blessing of fruitful fields and the source from which they come." (source) I have so many blessings to… Continue reading I Give You Thanks!
Are There Christmas Shopping Manners?
I have always been an advocate of good manners. One of the first things that impressed me about my husband back when we first started dating was that he was careful not to leave his cart on the left side of the aisle at Walmart, and he always looked before going out into the main… Continue reading Are There Christmas Shopping Manners?
My Thanksgiving Meal Contributions (2013)
Happy Thanksgiving week! In just a few days my husband and I will head "over the river and through the woods" to my parent's house. Most of my mom's side of the family will be together for the first time in quite a few years. This is also the first time we've been with my… Continue reading My Thanksgiving Meal Contributions (2013)
High Five For Friday!
Happy Friday Before Thanksgiving! Is it just me or are we flying through November?! Here's my week in review: My sister made some delicious chocolate popcorn for our ABC marathon on Monday night. We decided that even the hard to please Len Goodman would have awarded it a 10! I did stage one of my… Continue reading High Five For Friday!
Cherishing and Remembering
It seems to me that Thanksgiving is the most family centered holiday. At Christmas there’s the excitement of gifts, church programs, caroling and all that accompanies our celebration of Jesus’ birth. At Thanksgiving, it’s just family and food! With a smaller focus, changes in our families may be more obvious than at the busier holidays.… Continue reading Cherishing and Remembering
