My all time favorite Christmas tradition is driving around and looking at all the pretty Christmas light displays. I secretly wish we had light displays year round, but I guess just having them at Christmastime will have to do. Christmas Lights Brownies look like they have a string of lights spread out on top of …
One of my fondest Christmas memories happened the first year my husband and I were married. He knew how much I loved Christmas and wanted to surprise me by getting a Christmas tree. Boy did he ever and it was HUGE! It barely fit in the little duplex that we were renting. It was the …
Baths are usually reserved for my tiny humans, but that’s such a shame. I love a nice long relaxing bath with all the bath salts and bubbles. When I actually have the time to take a bath it’s like I am transported to another world. That is, until our youngest son insists to poke his …
We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup. Can you tell I watched Elf the other night? I just might be part elf because I LOVE candy cane inspired treats. LOL That’s where low carb/keto friendly peppermint desserts come in handy. I can have the …

They are basically icicle phalanges! The only hope I have is a large stock of winter socks when the cold temps roll …
Cookies are a universally loved treat. In fact, they are loved by both people and monsters (hello Cookie Monster). We have a few cookie monsters in our own family for sure. Plus, cookies are the preferred breakfast, lunch and dinner for Santa himself. So I am going to make a self declaration that this Christmas …
