So here I was, getting ready to write a post to the guys about how experiences are a great Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetheart. And then I snapped out of it and realized that ladies are my blog readers. So this one is for you! I’m a gifter. That’s my love language. That means Dearest Carl gets gifts for …

It’s here! The Cozy Gift Guide series to help you buy something for everyone in your family. Hopefully they inspire you and help you out while shopping for some of those really difficult people. Like the men. Why is it they already have everything? I know I struggle to find good gifts for Dearest Carl most years. So here are …
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m spending my morning snuggling my niece and eating cinnamon rolls but I wanted to pop in and share just a couple things I’m thankful for! I’m thankful for Dearest Carl. He never stops working to provide for us and serve anyone and everyone in his life. He uses his perfectionist skills to make our home just what …

Let me tell you a story. My first Christmas morning as a married woman was a disaster. I had already been a little low because I’m a traditions kinda gal and for my first married Christmas, we obviously didn’t have any as a couple. So I was determined to make Christmas morning a warm, wonderful, sparkling memory. For our Christmas …

You may or may not remember, Dearest Carl and I have a quirky Valentine’s Day tradition. We make a giant fancy cheese plate and watch The Hunt For Red October. It’s not sappy or even that romantic but it’s ours and I love it. My cheese plates are always made up of things we love, but if you want to …
Only two more sleeps! Are you ready? I’ve been basically living in my kitchen this week and now I have one cheesecake to make and then I’m done making desserts. Probably for a month. We’re so lucky to live close to family so our Christmas day is nice and relaxing, hitting up three rounds of presents and delicious food within …
