Eric and I will be picking out our Christmas tree tonight and finishing up the decorating in our home. Year after year, setting up that Christmas tree is what really gets me in the Christmas spirit. It’s what starts my dreaming about all the Christmas treats, carols, and gifts for my loved ones.

It’s November 10^th and I’ve already got my Christmas picture cards all ready for the mailman, which means more time for baking (and eating) holiday treats. The best part of it all? These Christmas cards from Basic Invite knock the socks off last year’s cards!

Goodness, there’s nothing better than an ice cold glass of fresh squeezed lemonade in the summertime. Especially when its homemade, you know what I mean? There’s something special about making the lemonade for (or with) your loved ones and then enjoying it together; preferably with a chocolate chip cookie. 🙂

Sooo, I wouldn’t consider myself a good cook. By any means. That being said, someway, somehow, I knocked these taquitos out of the park. The best part of it is, I was just kind of making it up as I went.

In case you haven’t been able to tell yet, I’m a sucker for anything floral or plant related. So, when I saw these cross-stitch hoops being beautifully dressed in florals and used as decor all over Pinterest, I was hooked. My mom and I both thought they would be a great addition to my wedding decor, so I set out to find away to make them myself. Turns out, its pretty simple.
