Hot Cocoa Bar

It’s hot cocoa season and if you are anything like us, we have a permanent cup of hot cocoa in our hands at all times! There is just something so special about drinking hot chocolate at Christmastime especially when there is a winter chill in the air! We love to have a permanent hot cocoa bar set us as well.

Plus, hot chocolate immediately takes us right into the hot chocolate scene in The Polar Express, which just so happens to be one of our absolute favorite Christmas movies to watch as a family. I can hear you singing now…”Hot! Hot! Ooh, we got it! Hot! Hot! Hey, we got it! Hot! Hot! Say, we got it! Hot chocolate”!

Christmas Caprese Salad

Caprese salad is a family favorite…we enjoy it as an appetizer, snack, and salad before a delicious Italian family meal. There is always an occasion to enjoy a fresh Caprese salad and this time of year, make it a Christmas Caprese Salad.

With Christmas nearing, elevate your Caprese salad by arranging it into the shape of a candy cane on a platter or cheese board as I’ve done here.

Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Potato Soup

Ever wonder what to do with leftover chicken or turkey from Thanksgiving Day?! Well I have you covered. This Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Potato Soup is the perfect post Thanksgiving Day meal and its so incredibly delicious, flavorful, and comforting. Its like a huge hug in a bowl…a soup you will find yourself enjoying all winter season long.

I typically make this soup with rotisserie chicken, however, considering I know we will have leftover turkey…I will sub the chicken for turkey when I make this soup this weekend. It is just as delicious with turkey!

Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Muffins

Thanksgiving day is near and often times we are so focused on prepping and serving Thanksgiving lunch and dinner that we forget a little something for breakfast. These Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Muffins are divine and perfect to hold everyone over for the big feast. They are even more delicious the next day and the next.

You and your family (and guests if you are hosting others this year) will love these! They are the perfect mix of sweet apples, cinnamon, and a sweet cream cheese filling that is the perfect little surprise inside. Trust me when I say…it will be hard to eat just one!

Walmart Holiday Gift Ideas

Can you believe that Christmas is just a little over a month away?! The holidays are upon us and our Christmas countdown is on. We love this time of year so much and we were even talking today about when we will put up our Christmas tree. We usually put it up the weekend right before Thanksgiving and I think we will do the same this year…if not a smidgen sooner!

I’ve also already started checking family and friends off of my holiday shopping list! I want to finish my shopping earlier this year so I can truly enjoy the holidays and not get caught up in all of the hustle and bustle. I’ve found several thoughtful and affordable gifts on Walmart’s website.

Buffalo Plaid Thanksgiving Tablescape

This years Buffalo Plaid Thanksgiving Tablescape is one of my favorite fall tablescapes to date. I’ve discovered a new love for black and white buffalo plaid…it has started showing up in different ways throughout our home and I love how southern and homey buffalo plaid makes things feel.

This years tablescape was inspired by family, by home, and by daily comforts. I wanted to create an inviting table that exudes warmth and coziness…one that says come as you are…you are loved and welcomed here.

Captain Jack Sparrow Halloween Costume

Captain Jack Sparrow is one of my all time favorite Disney villains and I’m a big fan of all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Peter introduced me to these movies when we first started dating and I’ve been a fan every since.

During quarantine, we showed the first 2 movies to Reins and Addison and they are now big fans too! Watching it with them brought me so much joy and we all just laughed and giggled at the character of Captain Jack Sparrow.
