a little bit of life, a little bit of style, and everything in between.
FROM THE ARCHIVES ❄️⛸️🌲some of my past favorite winter looks mostly because I miss real pants and being able to button my coats
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻

OH..
I love peanut butter buckeyes, they are so tasty! I will have to try this ice cream, thanks for sharing 🙂
LOVE Buckeyes- considering I'm an Ohio and Ohio State girl I better, because they are everywhere and served at just about every event! 🙂
Yum. Yum. My mom makes buckeyes every christmas so I love them!
……IO to the anonymous up there. Buckeyes are the mascot for Ohio State so up here in Ohio we eat them all year long and especially on football game days 🙂
I've never had Buckeyes before… but peanut butter is my one favorite foods, and ice cream is the other… so when you combine them I'm SURE to be obsessed. I need to try this!
Looks amazing!!!
These look amazing! I've never had buckeyes before, but it's peanut butter and chocolate . . . can't be too bad, can it?
Amazing! I'm from Ohio, so I was basically born a buckeye fan (both the team and the treat!). This ice cream is on my next grocery list! Thanks!
so addictive!
This ice cream is AWESOME! We picked some up at Publix on Thursday and everyone at my house has loved it! I've never tried buckeyes outside of this ice cream, so that recipe from Smitten Kitchen just made it to the top of my list.
I make those all the time!!!!! Soooo good!
sorry ice cream has been bothering your stomach lately :(. i actually discovered that if you blend some high quality protein powder with frozen bananas, you can make a really yummy sort of ice cream substitute- of course it's not exactly like the real thing, but it's definitely worth trying out! i know you recently decided to stop eating meat (and you've been running a lot!), so you might think about looking into it. A lot of websites will even ship you a few samples for under $5 🙂
YUM!! I definitely want to try this! I actually have been craving ice cream almost ever day now. This could be very dangerous.
I love making buckeyes… I made a TON of buckeyes this past Christmas. I usually make them with my grandma, but this year I had to wing it on my own. Apparently they are really good. I am still hearing about them haha. I don't know what made them so different from any other ones. I can't wait to make them again!
OHIO STATE!!!!!
Publix has the best ice cream; I'll have to try this next time I'm in Florida! And I definitely want to make buckeyes now–I've never had one!
I'm an Ohio native, so buckeyes are a staple at EVERY event!
That sounds amazing! I am lactose intolerant, so I cannot often indulge, but I do when I absolutely have to haha. Maybe you're becoming lactose intolerant, too? I was fine up until my senior year of high school, and my body just stopped being able to process milk and ice cream. Just try one of those Lactiad pills next time u eat ice cream, you might see a difference! 🙂
I love buckeyes! My mom makes them every year for Christmas, too! And I have to say… they are my favorite =)
My family is from Ohio and my dad was an Ohio State Buckeye so my grandma used to make buckeye candies all the time when I was little! Thanks for sharing the recipe I'm excited to have rediscovered them!!
I love buckeyes! I wish publix was still open because I could so eat some or all of this right now. I love making buckeyes! My Boyfriends family is from Ohio and we make them every Christmas! This Christmas we made them with white chocolate and they were so good!
xoxo.
I love anything peanut butter so I'm sure I'd love buckeyes and the ice cream!
That looks like the most delicious thing in the entire world. I probably need to get some ASAP.
Yes, I am! And you are SO, SO right. They are dangerous.
