I know it’s hard to think about packing up Christmas decorations when we’re all still in the holiday spirit, but I wanted to share this now so you can refer back to it when you need it—since I’ll be taking a short break from the blog after Christmas! I update and re-share this post every …

I’m dreaminggg of White Christmas Margaritas! This creamy coconut margarita is what tropical Christmas dreams are made of. It’s festive, delicious, and basically a white snowy Christmas in a glass. Garnish with a few cranberries and rosemary to really add some Christmas spirit to this stunning cocktail. And it’s easy to scale for entertaining, making …
I wanted to re-share the Best Cinnamon Bread Recipe for sharing with friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers, Christmas party hosts—or just keeping for yourself. Plus, it’s amazing with a cup of coffee on Christmas morning. This recipe is a tradition in my family. My mom has been making it every Christmas for as long as I …
I’m sure it will come as no surprise that I use a holiday checklist to stay as organized as possible during the busy Christmas season. This checklist is basically a super detailed word doc version of my “Holiday Notes & Traditions” phone note I’ve shared. It is not fancy or pretty, but it’s an insanely …
Before I sign off for the holiday, I wanted to share some tips, reminders, and our favorite organization items that may be helpful to you for after Christmas… The Holiday Traditions & Reminders Note If you have a Holiday Traditions & Reminders note in your phone, don’t forget to update it with anything you’ve learned …
Before I sign off for Christmas, I wanted to share our 2021 holiday card and wish you all the merriest Christmas! I wish I could send each and every one of you a printed Christmas card. I really do. And Caroline would LOVE to seal and stamp thousands of cards! But truly, thank you for …

I honestly cannot think of anyone who deserves a gift more than our teachers — especially this year!! The first year I served as “class mom,” I created a “favorite things” questionnaire for our teachers to fill out, which definitely comes in handy around the holidays, Teacher Appreciate Week, first day of school gift, end …
Over the past 6 years we’ve acquired a few holiday traditions that I really love and look forward to each Christmas season. While some of our traditions won’t happen this year, I know this season will still be filled with so much love and magic. In hopes I can avoid the last minute scramble, I’m …

I apologize ahead of time if your envelope is glued to your card, our return address is double or triple stamped or the postage stamp is upside down…Caroline was in …
I recently heard of one of the cutest holiday traditions — new Christmas pajamas on Thanksgiving!! I love this idea so much because 1. it’s super fun to open a Christmas gift a month before Christmas and 2. it really extends the life of the pajamas (although we wear our holiday pajamas year-round)! So today …
Matt and I went back and forth about whether or not to get a Christmas tree this year. With our kitchen renovation displacing multiple rooms in our house there really isn’t a big enough space to put a tree without being in the way of our construction site or reduced living space. Also, I can’t …
