Elf on the Shelf: Ugly Sweater Day. Today is ugly sweater day for my kids at school. So I thought I’d post our elves, Winter, and Pepper’s ugly sweater scene as well. They went riding in a one-horse open sleigh in their sweaters, PJs, and slippers. My kids and I imagine that they are riding, …
Elf on the Shelf: Rewind 80’s Dollhouse Our elves flashed back to the past with a fun rewind retro scene that took place in my daughter’s dollhouse. A while ago I purchased a few of these Rewind Barbies for under $10 each (I know, it was such a great deal). I have been storing them …

They attach papers to refrigerators and they can ‘attract’ kisses. Unlike those wonderfully cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, hanging a mistletoe in a random spot usually brings about awkward moments. …
Christmas Candy Dessert Board. Recently, I hosted a book club get-together. Since it was going to be in December, I thought it would be fun to have a Christmas candy dessert board for my friends to enjoy. I also provided a cheese board and veggie board with ranch to balance out the sugar. It turned …
This is how to make an Eggnog Latte. I love eggnog in small doses and/or diluted just a tad. I typically like to add a splash of Sprite or a little ginger ale to my eggnog. The thought occurred to me that making an eggnog latte may taste good. I did some experimentation and loved …
