Last year I hosted my first ever, Holiday Cookie Exchange. I loved it so much that decided to make it an annual tradition. This year I decided to add a couple more guests and have everyone that attended the 1st one bring their momma!
I welcomed all of my guests in my delicious gingerbread dress. When I spotted this dress during cyber Monday madness I knew I needed to get it for the cookie exchange party. Isn’t it perfect? I mean when else are you going to get to dress up like a cookie! One must just go for it!
I was able to get my good friend, Stefanie from Love Notes Paperie to design the holiday cookie exchange invitation, recipe card and cookie ballot! It’s amazing to have such talented friends! I met Stefanie at a Rising Tide Society tuesday together meeting and I fell in love with her sweet nature and amazing sense of style. She typically designs wedding inviting suites, but has ventured into designing invitations of all sorts! I adore all of the paper goodies she designed for me and highly recommend her!
This time around I went with a colorful and happy Christmas vibe and paired a light blush tablecloth with a bold kelly green table runner and white mini tree accents!
I used all of my white serving platters and cake stands for cookie display purposes.
The big winner was for best tasting cookie! Along with this sweet trophy they received a $50 TJ MAXX gift card!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
