thought it would be sweet to share some of our fav thought it would be sweet to share some of our fave holiday traditions (+ some new ones i’m adding this year!) #AppleBooksPartner ✷ i always upcycled packaging materials to wrap our gifts, and i love my alone time to wrap with a cozy @applebooks audiobook and bevvie ✷ we do an eggnog taste test! it’s almost always the least fancy ones that win ✷ we gift each kid an ornament that represents something that they loved that year, and document it in a little notebook ✷ we bake the worlds best gingersnaps and attempt to gift them out before eating 98% of them ✷ we always make our own clay ornaments (gid is the show off, but we make them too!) ✷ we eat a red and green fruit salad on xmas morning, always, no matter what! ✷ we make the house feel like a snowglobe – we usually make coffee filter snowflakes but this year we drew with chalk markers and it’s so cuteeeee ✷ excited to find out my main character energy on @applebooks year in review! ✷ we put out snacks for the delivery drivers (weirdly, gum is always the most taken item!!) ✷ i always take a week off from social media, and instead use my phone to read. currently catching up on the latest @reesesbookclub picks on @applebooks ✷ andddd the best part, TWO christmas trees! going to have the kids decide the theme every year, but i’m sure it’ll be coastal every year haha
buddy pasta from elf! so disgusting but my kids we buddy pasta from elf! so disgusting but my kids were soooo stoked 😆 a very cute and very exciting treat to surprise your kids with this week!! i did angel hair with marshmallows, gummies, pb candy pieces, mini pop tarts, chocolate sauce, maple syrup and sprinkles
unfortunate news — yesterday it rained and my beau unfortunate news — yesterday it rained and my beautiful snowy view all melted away, so now i’ll reminisce about last weekend instead because that was so superior! CROSSING EVERY FINGER FOR SNOW ON XMAS EVE NOW ❄️
every surface of my house is covered in holiday cr every surface of my house is covered in holiday crafts and projects, AND I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY #applebookspartner a little recap of some of the projects i’ve done lately christmas music, @reesesbookclub audiobooks, and terrible movies blasting while i craft, scampering around just doing my part to make all the cozy magic! also if you use @applebooks, you can go peep your “year in review” in the app now, and find out your main character energy!
buoy ornaments! how sweet are these!? and they wer buoy ornaments! how sweet are these!? and they were so so simple to make— i kinda love the idea of making a little buoy bundle every year 🥹 someone sent me a picture of some clay buoys the other day and i knew our coastal theme tree needed them stat. i made them out @sculpey_official, baked them and had each of us paint our own, once they were dry, i just put some string through each one, tied a large knot on the bottom and then tied them all together. if you want the supplies i used sent straight to ya, just comment MAKE https://liketk.it/5GIBV #diyornaments #clayornaments oven bake clay ornaments, #coastalchristmas
crispy rice spicy tuna — out of polymer clay! with crispy rice spicy tuna — out of polymer clay! with actual little wood @katsuyagroup chopsticks! while we wait for this years ornament (ahem @gideonboomer), a look back on one of my personal favorites — we miss katsuya so much!!!! #diyornaments clay food ornaments, #polymerclay
