edible Christmas gift idea- pesto pasta dinner kit

Who would’ve guessed that our surprise once-every-ten-years snowstorm would stir up such a flurry of surprise posts? But these cutest little edible Christmas gifts are another one! Adam tromped out in the snow to save all our massive bushes of basil, turning my kitchen into a veritable pesto factory the day after the snow. And […]

christmas gift wrap idea- picture wrap!

Christmas gift wrap idea- PICTURE PRESENTS!

I’ve mentioned in the past that we had a ton of Christmas Eve traditions growing up, and we are trying to continue most of them with our little family. Which means Christmas Jammies on Christmas Eve! This year, I made personalized gift wrap for the kiddos and thought I’d pass the idea along. To create […]

easy snow ice cream recipe!

easiest snow ice cream recipe

Today’s post is a total surprise, thanks to an unexpected snow storm that gave us a Snow Delay AND a surprise chance to make snow ice cream for breakfast (so ironic to be writing this from south texas and not colorado- haha!). I can’t actually remember who gave us the tip that Half & Half […]

gift wrap ideas- the prettiest packages

the prettiest gift wrap ideas- nine gorgeous present toppers

So I’ve always loved pink Christmas trees and white Christmas trees with sweet pink decorations, but am fully committed to a “family tree” (aka- a place to pile on all of our eclectic, homemade, and souvenir ornaments). However, last year Adam got me a rose gold tree when artificial trees went on sale. Pair that […]

how to make an evergreen wreath

I know that most of you are way more on top of things than I am, and that you’re probably already all Christmas-prepped. But between what must’ve been a serious Christmas-goods-Goodwill-run before we moved to Saipan and the craziness of moving this fall, our Christmas decoration game this year is extra weak (and by weak, I […]

driftwood wreaths

DIY driftwood wreath

My Christmas-in-Saipan motto is “do the best you can with what you’ve got.” Ok, actually, that’s my motto in Saipan decorating overall- haha. Resources that I have in abundance? Shells. Drift wood. Coral. Coconut. I made stockings (and a tree skirt) out of a drop cloth last year, and thought I’d add driftwood wreaths to […]
