We got our wish- a white Christmas in Maine! Oh what joy I felt when playing in the snow with my little girl for the very first time- she absolutely LOVED it (the first thing she asked to do was make a snow angel)! Growing up in Maine, so many of my childhood memories involve getting all bundled up with my brothers and playing outside with the neighborhood kids all winter long, so it warms my heart seeing my baby experience the fun of snow!!

I thrifted the LL Bean sled years ago, long before I had babies. I always longed to be a mother so I bought the sled as a purchase of faith- that one day I’d have a kiddo of my own to use it with…some dreams really do come true!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you- thank you for being here!! ❤️🎄🎅🏼

I had fun putting together little holiday gifts for my daughter’s teachers, including these cute little mini wreaths made of Ferrero Rocher chocolates! The clear plastic wrap roll is from Amazon! 🎄🎁

The weather is getting chilly so I love to treat myself to a cozy cup of something warm and delicious! This morning I’m making hot chocolate with @planetoat Barista Lovers Oatmilk from @foodlion which is rich and creamy and froths up so nicely with my hand mixer. Of course I had to top it all off with some mini marshmallows and a dusting of cocoa powder!

Head to Food Lion between 12/6-12/10 to pick up a FREE carton of Planet Oat Barista Lovers Oatmilk, perfect to add to your coffee, tea, and hot chocolate drinks! #BaristaLovers #sponsored #Foodlion #planetoat

#sponsored Growing up, one of my most memorable Thanksgiving traditions was my Grammy Joyce’s banana nut bread. She would stay up into the wee hours of the morning not only making a loaf to serve on Thanksgiving Day but also baking extra loaves for each of us to take home. Her way of showing love was through her baking!

Now that I have a little one, I’ve started thinking more about how to incorporate various family traditions into our holiday festivities. This year I’ve decided to start baking and serving my own twist on Grammy’s banana nut bread recipe- one with a delicious cinnamon crumb topping!

Food Lion has quality baking ingredients, including Fisher Nuts, which add the perfect crunch to the crumb topping in this yummy banana nut bread recipe!

For the last several evenings while out for a walk

For the last several evenings while out for a walk around our pond, we’ve spotted this little beaver who has a lodge nearby! Beavers are territorial so when he spots us, he acts all cool and collected and then WHAM…He slaps his tail on the surface of the water as a warning! He did this several times until we kept on walking! 😆

Fall in New England cannot be beat and I’m so thankful we get to spend a few weeks here (my Mainer heart missed it so much)!

We took a stroll through the historic village square of Amherst, NH to see the gorgeous homes and beautiful seasonal decorations! My “if I win the lottery” dream has always been to buy an historic home in a quaint old town and fix it up! Maybe one day!! 🥰
