Loving Lately

Wrapping gifts with pretty paper and sparkly ribbon can sometimes be a chore, especially when you have a lot to do.  But once they are finished, the fruits of your labor sit charmingly under the tree for all to admire.     

Hot chocolate on a chilly night is so cozy and relaxing, but a touch of peppermint schnapps makes it even better.  It’s like a Peppermint Patty in a mug.  

A simple wreath made of cut-up white garbage bags tied around a bent hanger makes an adorable holiday gift from any child.  

My hometown {Bethlehem, aka "The Christmas City"} decorated for the holiday is stunning.   

Pretzels and chocolate, salty and sweet…a winning combination. 

After a day off from school, my class left me this note.  I was sent on a scavenger hunt around the classroom.  So cute...they were showing their love!

Let it snow!  The Parent Teacher Association in Connecticut wants the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School to be greeted by a winter wonderland when they head back to school in their new building.  They are asking children and parents from around the country to create unique snowflakes to decorate their school.  The snowflakes are due by January 12^th and you can send them to this address:
