christmas inspiration

Be sure to check out my Christmas Pinterest board if you're still in need of some holiday inspiration. I added over 125 pins last night, including home decor and DIY project ideas, not to mention a bunch of tasty recipes!

holiday collection

what's new

(Note: I'm still waiting for a few more pieces from my Thanksgiving collection to launch, but since the holiday is just around the corner, I thought I would share what's already available for purchase. I will update this blog post as soon as those additional pieces launch.)

no tricks, just treats

If candy is not your thing, it might be worth trying some of these sweet Halloween treats instead. I especially love those little meringue ghosties!

1. meringue ghosts | sweet + savory
2. halloween rice krispie treats | the stay at home chef
3. jack-o-lantern hand pies | so much food
4. creepy witch finger cookies | simply so good
5. brownie dirt pudding | my baking addiction
6. halloween bark | delicious little bites

this summer in photos

This seemingly endless summer gave me ample opportunity to spend time with friends and family, get started on my Christmas card collection, and challenge myself to walk an increasing number of laps around the park. Unlike last year, I had no major plans for the summer, but it was enjoyable all the same.

fun fact: the Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship | my youngest nephew's first football game | outfit of the summer | the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever made | sleepy baby Leo | the aforementioned park | a charming puzzle by Charles Wysocki | I spy an adorable woodland creature
