Christmas Card Carousel

I just LOVE this blog event! It's definitely my favorite yearly link up!! It's such a neat way to share Christmas cards with all your blog friends!!

As always, the fabulous Courtney, at Simply Said designs, designed our card. She sent us these two incredible designs...

While we loved both designs, we chose this one! Just gorgeous!!

I'd love to see your Christmas card too!! Just head over to Faith's blog, Walk With Me By Faith, and link up!

Merry Christmas Friends!

Today in the town of David, a Savior is born; He is Christ the Lord.

Oh What Fun It Is to...Cook

Today I'm linking up with Molly, from Dutchess of Fork, for this fun holiday link up!

Christmas Eve

Our traditional Christmas Eve dinner is usually pretty simple (because we know we'll be eating TONS on Christmas day - ha!!). This year, I'm thinking about making this Baked Tortellini recipe ~

Christmas Day

Where do I even begin?!? Here's some yummy treats I've found on Pinterest that I know will be making an appearance in our house this Christmas

Pretty sure this is what we're doing for breakfast...yummy, simple and easy!

Carmel and Chocolate dipped pretzel rods

Hot Chocolate Peppermint Chex Mix, in my opinion, chef mix is one of the most perfect snack foods, EVER. ;)

Candy Cane Bark...I don't know why but I'm soooo into peppermint and chocolate this year. I think it might be my biggest pregnancy craving.

Like our hostess, Molly, my Christmas treat list wouldn't be complete without this yummy baked cheese dish. I love, love, LOVE baked brie!!

~ All these recipes can be found here, on Pinterest ~

Can't wait to see what everyone else is cooking up this holiday season!! Be sure to link up!

Merry Monday!!

What's 'merry' about today?

C U P C A K E S !!

I cannot get enough of them! Before this pregnancy, I didn't have much of a sweet tooth but wow, it sure seems like these babies loooove their sweets!!

We went home to Oklahoma City this weekend...which was were the cupcake extravaganza began...1st up, Cuppies & Joe.

Here's their website

their menu is uh-mazing!!!

My favorite flavor is their Boom Boom Pow ~ it's a vanilla bean cuppie w/chocolate buttercream, caramel, and sea salt. It's beyond delicious!!

We may have had to take a few home...ya know, just a few. ;)

Ok, so when I imagine what Heaven will be like, it's definitely a version of this place. Pinkitzel is every 'Girly Girl's' dream come true. They manage to combine an upscale boutique (complete with clothes, baby girl clothes and home decor) with a cupcake and coffee bar. Seriously friends, it's heaven.

Here's their website

While I was down this weekend, my best friend, Christina, threw me a baby shower...AT Pinkitzel!!! Yes, it was perfect. Truly, there aren't any other words to describe it. Here's a picture of the room where the shower was held. This pic is from their website...I'll be doing a baby shower post soon with lots more pics. Believe it or not, the room looked soooo much cuter for the shower. LOVE the antique circus theme!!

On our way back to Omaha, we stopped at the Plaza in Kansas City. After doing a little bit of shopping, we had to stop at KC's well-known cupcake place.

It was just a small store front...small but adorable! Here's their website

Super yummy & fun flavors!! My favorite was their seasonal flavor 'Peppermint Hot Chocolate,' it was delicious!!

Now that we are home, I'm still craving cupcakes. Luckily, I went to a Christmas Party tonight that was right next door to Jones Bros. Cupcakes!! Pretty sure it was meant! Ha!!

Here's their website

If you're ever in Omaha and are looking for a place to grab a tasty cupcake and cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) I highly recommend Jones Bros.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family, food and lots of fun!!



30 I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

B O Y S !

We are just beyond thrilled with this amazing blessing. I'm still in such an amazing state of shock. It's just wonderful!!

Here's the latest bump pic of me 'with my boys' ~ 18 weeks

Long time no blog...

Hi friends! Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged, I have been SUPER busy. I'm hoping to have a bit more time for blogging now. Until then, I thought I'd put together a few pics of things I'm LOVING...

Cozy Fall clothes

Cool Fall nights cuddled up with a cup of hot cocoa by the fire

My new addiction...pinterest

Mostly, I'm just soooo loving that its Fall, its such a great time of year!!

I love how this time of year reminds us all of how much we have to be thankful for

In all things give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Happy Vererans Day!

Happy Veterans Day to the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Thank you for the tremendous sacrifices you have made to defend us and our freedoms.

No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
