She has an Etsy shop where you can see all of her work, and she was kind enough to gift me with one earlier this summer and more recently, she sent me one for fall that I am literally in love with! It’s a little too early for me to decorate for fall…

A Few Favorite Thanksgiving Dishes
Can you even believe Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK!? I feel like it has really snuck up on me this year. I make the same things every year, including four dishes I’m sharing below (three casseroles and one dessert). I shared these on Instagram last year, so I thought I’d share them again this year on the blog so they have a permanent home.

Our Christmas Mantel Decor
This year I decided I wanted to change up my mantel décor and do full and lush statement making greenery.

Christmas Sweets
This past Sunday, I spent the entire day in the kitchen baking all sorts of sweet Christmas treats (during the Patriots/Steelers game, hence the Patriots Christmas sweater ;)).

We usually fill containers and treat bags with our baked goods, and hand them out to friends, family, and the UPS/Fed-Ex/USPS delivery crews! I also do this for my co-workers in lieu of…
