The Perfect Holiday Drink!

One of my favorite drink during the Christmas season is Bailey’s Irish Cream and milk!

This is nothing better than sipping on a rich glass of ice cold creamy milk to make the holidays bright!  Now think of that same glass of milk with Bailey’s Irish Cream… Can you taste it yet?  I know that I can!

Ok here’s what to do:

1. Fill your glass half way with ice.
2. Now fill your glass half way will Bailey’s Irish Cream.
3. Next fill your glass the rest of the way up with milk.
4. Stir and Serve!

Yep that’s all! You will blow all of your guest away with this very easy yet delicious drink!

Beautiful, Must Try Homemade Ornaments!


This year I participated in a home made ornament exchange at
White House Black Shutters.  I wanted to come up with an easy yet beautiful idea that I could share with all of you.

My first thought was I wanted to make something silver and shiny. That didn’t turn out well and to be honest I had made many failures before I found the perfect one to share with you.

So I changed my direction a little bit and chose something a lot less complicated.

I love the idea and the look of homemade snow flakes, but I wanted to make something a little different.  As I was pacing around my room and thinking about what to make, I started to clean up a bit so I wasn’t wasting too much time in the process.

While cleaning I stumbled upon an ornament just like this one!

Not knowing where it came from, I had a great idea! I will make this same exact ornament! lol Ok, so I cheated a little because I didn’t think of it myself but you have to admit that they are super cute! I found out later that my little sister had made it at her St. Nicolas Craft day party for her Home School Group (thanks Rachelle for the great idea).  I thought to myself, if a 12 year old can make it anyone can.

 I found some old music sheets and cut them into pieces. When cutting the paper make sure that there are 4 lines of notes.

030

Fold the paper into quarter or half inch folds. 

033

Fold in half.

034

Secure 2 ends with some sort of glue (I used a glue dot).

Like this!

And now the other side.

Continue these steps until you have as many as you want!

Cute and Cozy Christmas Clothes

I love dressing up for the holidays although I don’t like to be uncomfortable either!

Christmas at my house is all about spending the day with the family remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season!

This year I chose black, stretch skinnies with a long, maroon, turtleneck sweater. I paired with a black necklace, a black belt and a black cardigan for a very dressy yet comfortable Christmas outfit!
