I have
thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and cheer of our Christmas lights this week. They
have brought much joy to my heart and our home! Today is a full day for me, and
I am already looking forward to this evening, settling down on the couch, and
enjoying the lights again! And whether or not you have lights up, I hope you
enjoy a thing or two from this list.
Last Saturday, as I decorated the house for
Christmas, I found myself consulting Pinterest for some ideas on how to arrange
the things I already had. The kitchen at this house is particularly mysterious
to me because I don’t have room to add too much in there. I did find some good
tips, and this
was one of my favorite inspiration links! (BONUS: Speaking of kitchens…this one doesn’t feature Christmas décor, but it does feature a great kitchen renovation
that is practical in terms of storage. This kitchen isn’t over the top in size,
but it’s over the top in creativity!)
I want to make all the desserts in this post. Now that our house is decorated for Christmas, I just want to bake
(and bake and bake and bake)! (BONUS: Know what also sounds like a lot
of fun? A cookie exchange party! Great ideas and some recipes in this post. I’m especially intrigued by the recipe for the brownies from scratch.
I have a recipe I’ve made for years, but hers caught my attention!)
While I love a good addition to my holiday
decorations, I find great joy and contentment in reusing the same things I’ve
loved for years. (Case in point – I just replaced a tree I’d been using for
almost 20 years. It was time!) Sometimes using a same-old-same-old in a
different way can make it feel new again! Sarah has some great ideas for how to
do that…here.
I feel like people have a love/hate relationship with green bean casserole. I like it, but I honestly couldn’t even tell you when I last ate it. This recipe, though, intrigues me. It skips the condensed soup and works with all fresh ingredients. Would you try it?
As we enter this holiday season, it’s good to
remember the days can be long and hard for some. They miss people. They miss
traditions. They hurt. Robin’s words and stories can be a great reminder for all of us!
I continue to be enthralled by curated gift guides. Candace released hers, and they are GOOD!! There’s a whole bunch of them in this post.
