Valentine’s Day inspired treat board - these baked heart shaped donuts are definitely the star of the show! ❤️

Ok these might be my favorite sugar I’ve ever made 😍 inspo brought to you by my anthro doormat! I was a little bummed when I realized I had gold star sprinkles after I already decorated these, oh well!

Christmas theme treat board anyone could do! This peppermint bark cheesecake dip is the real MVP here 😍 I’ll share the recipe later today!! Check out some more amazing treat boards from the accounts below 🎄

Everett loves having his own little Christmas tree in his room, he also insists that the lights stay on all night long and I can hardly blame him!

The Christmas season - I look forward to this time all year long and it brings me so much joy. The lights, decorating, baking and family time.. and now living the magic of the season through our little boys eyes ❤️ I have it all, right here under my roof, but I can’t help but feel a little guilty. I know this isn’t the case for everyone and that breaks my heart. My hubby and I were chatting last night, after I shared my feelings of guilt, and we discussed what we’ve done or plan on doing to donate in our community or to strangers as well as random acts of kindness and it made me feel so good. ❤️ I’m not always the best at articulating my thoughts and putting them to paper but I just want to send a gentle reminder that Instagram is a highlight reel and personally a place for me to get creative (I love that part!!) and just because you don’t make all the crafty things for your kids or go all out decorating their rooms, etc. that’s OK, that is not at all what matters!! You are what matters ❤️

I think I get just as much, if not more, enjoyment out of these Christmas books as Everett does! We just started “How Winston Delivered Christmas” tonight (the purpose is to read a new chapter each night starting on December 1st-Christmas day) I love it, such a fun concept!
