How I Make My Baby Books

BABY

A lot of people will tell you that by your 3rd child, pictures go to the wayside and traditions you did with your older kids will often get skipped for the littles. If you know me, you know that will never be the case. Especially when it comes to pictures ;) I started a tradition with Charlie where I created a baby book for the first 6 months of his life instead of the first year.

RECIPES

I’ve been on a mission to find more healthy recipes for my kids in the new year. I have a list of recipes I’m working through and the first was something with shredded coconut.

Setting the Table for Christmas

Holiday Decor•OUR HOME

One of my favorite things I look forward to on Christmas is having a special meal around the table with family. Christmas Eve is generally the bigger celebration, but I love Christmas night too.

Double Chocolate Reindeer Cookies

Holiday Recipes•RECIPES

There’s something about baking this time of year that is extra special. In fact, I’m not sure I bake cookies any other time. But in December, we do them weekly if not twice to three times weekly ;) This year I wanted to branch out from our typical sugar cookie and make something equally as festive. I googled ideas and the reindeer cookies popped up and I thought they were SO cute. You can make them with any of...
