Breaking away from the day to day
I love winter symbols like snowmen and reindeer! They are just so darn cute! I’ve shared my snowman & reindeer Light Up Jars, yummy Milano Reindeer Cookies, and Nutter Butter Snowmen. Well this little recipe is nothing short of cute! If you’re looking for an adorable and easy treat for a holiday gathering, classroom party, or…
My BFFL Beth grew up in a Southern home in the northern part of Florida. (Don’t try to make sense of it…just go with it.) Her aunt would hold an annual cookie bake where family & friends would gather to her home to bake and decorate sugar cookies for Christmas. When Beth moved to Miami,…
The holiday season is all about love, family, friends and COOKIES!! Growing up, my mom made these Snowball Cookies that the family dubbed “Andreas Nutballs” (you had to be there). They are essentially, well, nutballs rolled in powdered sugar. My husband LOVES these! So now, every year, my mom is obligated to make them for…
St. Patty’s Day is coming. A time where little leprechauns all dressed in green scurry around causing mischief and protecting their pots of gold.

Ok, seriously, they are…

A few years back, my aunts started making these absolutely adorable light up snowmen. They were so easy (and…
So, I’m a self proclaimed “wine-o.” I enjoy a nice glass of the ol’ “mommy grape juice” from time to time. Ok, maybe more than just time to time…. With the holidays approaching VERY quickly, what better gift guide than a Wine-O Gift Guide? These are some great finds for anyone on your gift list…
Being of Italian descent, there are many traditions and customs that all revolve around food. You know, an amazing bowl of pasta with a fresh marinara sauce, savory meatballs, or crispy homemade biscottis. Well, in March there is a holiday that taps into my Sicilian side, the Feast of St. Joseph. Joseph, Mary’s husband, is…
The countdown to Christmas keeps getting shorter and shorter….I’m trying not to freak out about how much I still have to do… This tradition is one of the top ones on my holiday list each year. Our hand painted tree skirt. I know many people just have a regular beautiful tree skirt around their tree,…
