Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Everyone
I want to keep the talking short today and let you just get to the fun stuff. That being said, I know not everyone is going to like this, but I only made one guide this year and it has something for everyone. I’m not loving the gendered “for him” for her” gift guides and I feel like all sorts of gifts can be good for anyone! We’ve made this roles as a society and make these dumb assumptions like men don’t like candles or women don’t like technology. I mean, Dave LOVES by Bath & Body Works lotions and like to keep one both by his bedside and end…
Anatomy of a Practical Bar Cart
Bar carts are one of those home decor items that so easily become a disaster, at least if you actually use them. You want to have out all your glasses and booze and bar tools and all of a sudden it’s a cluttered mess. So, I want to walk you through some basic bar cart styling that is actually practical. Have you ever searched for Pinterest bar cart inspiration and saw nothing but carts filled with flowers and pretty things and the actual purpose of said bar cart is a tiny percentage of what’s using space?

The Anatomy of the Perfect Christmas Stocking
Growing up in the Judish household meant Christmas presents were a whole ordeal. My mom really values and feels proud that she is a great gift giver, which has rubbed off on me. Giving the perfect present to someone is one of my biggest thrills in life. I spend all year writing down anything someone mentions that they like or want and try my best to keep track of whether or not they bought these items or even write down more abstract things they love. So, gifts are huge in my family and stockings were no exception. In fact, as I got older and my mom and my stocking game…
Dollar Tree Christmas Tablescape
Way back in the day, when I was a very young lady buying a home with my first boyfriend, money was always very tight. I really wanted to decorate for Christmas and create something special, but my budget was itty bitty. That’s the year I began my love affair with Dollar Tree. I found all sorts of ways to decorate with whatever I could find and I ended up with something pretty great! I also bought a lot of dishes there, amongst many other things for the home. I’ve even got my friends into Dollar Tree. I’ve passed on the knowledge, although a lot of people don’t believe me when…
The best Christmas molasses cookies!
There are a lot of cookies I love for the holidays. I can’t fault the simple, yet delicious sugar cookie. A pinwheel is always so satisfying. Gingerbread is an obviously delicious choice. Snickerdoodles and hot cocoa cookies are comforts and sometimes I just want the OG chocolate chip. Then you have the other lovelies like thumbprint and shortbread and snowballs and the list goes on. However, when all is said and done, the cookie I want most at Christmastime is the old fashioned molasses cookie, the spicier the better! I’ve been making this cookie for many years now. When Dave and I first started dating and I spent my first…
