Gift Tag Ornaments
Attached to a bow on a gift or wrapped in a pretty box, giving ornaments is a Christmas tradition in my family. I decided that it was about time I started partaking in this tradition, however instead of buying ornaments I would make my own. This year I decided to make them using my Great Grandma\’s applesauce ornament recipe. Here you\’ll see how I used this recipe to make snowmen for friends.
2. Work mixture 2-3 minutes with your hands to form a ball.
4. Use a straw to place a hole at the top.
5. Place on a cookie sheet and allow to dry 4-5 days – your home will smell fabulous.
6. Be sure to flip the ornaments over after two days so they\’ll dry on both sides.
8. You can also paint the ornaments like I did here.

Thanksgiving Outfit
It\’s an old fashioned Michigan Thanksgiving this year (aka the ground is covered in snow and it\’s freezing). Since I spent a lot of time in the kitchen for Thanksgiving I wanted to make sure my outfit was comfortable and nothing is more comfortable than leggings, chunky knit sweater, beret and flats.
Thanksgiving themed cupcakes
This weekend I celebrated \”Friendsgiving\” I was in charge of dessert. So I made pumpkin and coconut pie as well as these chai tea cupcakes adorned with a pilgrim hat and acorn. The body of the acorn is made out of caramel while the top is a Tootsie roll while the pilgrim hat is Tootsie Roll adorned with caramel. To make the cupcakes I used a regular cake mix but added some of my chai tea mix to it and the frosting is vanilla bean.
A Christmas Tradition: Pajamas
In my family getting a new pair of pajamas is a Christmas tradition. Everyone gets something catered to their own taste and style. However this year I discovered Pajamagram you can get everyone\’s name on matching pajamas including the PETS! While my family isn\’t all for matching pajamas… Jack and I will be matching this Christmas!
