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

our house has found its identity and its identity our house has found its identity and its identity is christmas lol — here’s a little tour of our decked halls!!
lazy girl air fryer latkes 🥔 idk if I could ever lazy girl air fryer latkes 🥔

idk if I could ever go back to doing them legit (especially not until i have a proper vent sitch)

ingredients —
bag of shredded hash brown potatoes
2-3 shallots, grated or 1 large onion
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp coarse kosher salt (or 1 tsp fine sea salt) plus more for sprinkling
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
good olive oil spray

preheat your air fryer at 400℉ as you make your potato mixture and liberally spray the grates of your air fryer with a nice olive oil spray

grate the onion and mix with a bag of shredded hash browns
mix in 2 beaten eggs, ½ cup flour, tsp coarse kosher salt, tsp baking powder, ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

spoon four latke piles down and using the back of your spoon, press them down flat, spray them again!

cook at 400° for about 6-8 minutes until golden on one side. flip with a spatula and spray and cook the other side until perfectly golden on both sides!

serve immediately but if you can’t, crisp back up to serve in your air fryer! garnish with chives and a lil salt.

happy hanukkah 💙
OUR FIRST SNOW!!!! magic! joy! tears! all of it! OUR FIRST SNOW!!!! magic! joy! tears! all of it!
a tale of one woman, countless novels unfinished, a tale of one woman, countless novels unfinished, and the app that finally made her a reader. #AppleBooksPartner you sly thing!

yes, it’s true — i’m on my second book via @applebooks, which i think officially makes me a real-life reader?! i love that i can listen across all my devices (even CarPlay!), so it’s actually easy to turn on whenever i have a spare moment.
i’ve honestly been so much more entertained day to day — i used to just facetime family, play the same songs on repeat, or sit alone with my thoughts (dangerous). now i’m hooked!! 

i’m reading “wild dark shore” by @charlottemcconaghy, a @reesesbookclub pick, and it’s such a nice change from the light, easy reads i usually start and never finish.

so yeah… consider me a book girlie now. WHAT A PLOT TWIST!
potato stamped packaging paper! every year i colle potato stamped packaging paper! every year i collect the paper that comes in packages for about a month and then use to wrap our gifts — but i really wanted to make the extra spruced up this year. 

i used potatoes to make the stamps, but obviously you can skip a step if you already have cute stamps! i then brushed on some acrylic paint and spent the next few hours stamping away like a jolly little elf! 

i made some tin gift toppers too and my gifts look so special now 🥹

why spend money on gift wrap that’ll be tossed immediately after opening!? save that pretty gift wrap for paper chains instead!
