Monday Kat regaled us all with the best parts of her year. I’m going to try and do the same, but dang it, I had a boring year. Before I begin, let’s discuss the title of this post. Kat mentioned on Monday that New Year’s Eve is her “dark day.” I would have to agree. […]

Auld Lang Syne
KatDecember 31st is my “dark day”. Remember how on Gilmore Girls everyone in town knew about Luke’s “dark day”. Welp, mine is just around the corner. One year I spent my dark day in Times Square for eleven hours. No food. No bathroom. One degree. That could have started my disdain for New Year’s Eve. […]
Christmas Bakecation
If that picture describes you looking in your pantry thinking what in the peace on Earth goodwill to men you’re going to make for Christmas dessert, then look no further. I’m not sure when this cake became a staple at Christmas, but I am oh so glad that it did. I’ve mentioned before of my […]
Bachelorette Do’s and Don’ts
Last week Chris Harrison made us suffer through two nights of roses and rejection. We only have the energy to discuss night 2: Hometown Dates. Alternate title of this episode: Sweat. And lots of it. Seriously. Everyone was sweating. It was like watching skin cry for two hours. 2020 has obviously been quite the year. […]
Tinsel Tourney
This literally has zero to do with tinsel, but it is a festive game you could include at your family gathering. Before we get going, I’ll share my Christmas card to get you in the spirit since Kat shared hers recently. I won’t name this friend I’m about to drag through the mud, but she […]
Raspberry Chewies
KatI tried and tried to figure out a way to pun that title so it read like the iconic Prince song, “Raspberry Beret”, but alas, my brain is shot from this year. I’m sorry to once again be a disappointment. You know what’s not a disappointment? These bars. I first had them at a cookie […]
Ornament to Be
If you missed our post on Friday, head there now. It’s a good one about unique traditions to add to your Christmas. Today is also a tradition of sorts. Kat’s portion has been happening for years, but I started mine just a few years ago. I got the idea from my friends, Jody and Katy. […]
Oh Christmas Tradition…Oh Christmas Tradition
Caroline What does Christmas mean to you and yours? Do you know it’s almost time because your cousin is camped out in his less than glamorous RV in your front yard? Do you always enjoy spaghetti and syrup on Christmas Eve? Is the day to celebrate Jesus’ birth not complete without a Hickory Honey Ham? […]
Signed, Sealed, Delivered
No one has ever said that to me, but it hasn’t deterred my spirit when it comes to sending out Christmas cards. This was the seventh year that I sent out Christmas cards from me..just me. I have 60 cards printed of me. Should we take a trip down memory lane past the sea of […]
Bachelorette Do’s and Don’ts
Last week we paused this nonsense to ring in Christmas. Today we are back to the stupidity. Cover yourself in rose petals and read along. The most recent episode was high on the leaderboard of absurdity…per usual. To sum it up, Tayshia reminded us all about 86,000 times that she’s been married before. She played […]
