I am a chocolate girl through and through so when a coworker brought these little babies in I gasped at the chocolaty richness of this humble cookie.
The simplicity is refreshing after all the cut out cookies, you just mix, scoop, dip and roll.
Be sure to take a peek at our free printable holiday selection for a whimsical packaging ideas.

Sugar cookies are a must in our house. This year, I did not have time to put icing on them at all so we just “decorated” with different Christmas themed sprinkles prior to baking. The little one had a blast and there was sugar everywhere :)

There are many sugar cookie recipes out there but the one from Sweetopia works really well for me. Both Sweetopia and Sugarbelle have amazingly helpful decorating tips.

We had a hectic weekend of baking at our house. This year I decided to combine two of my favorite cookie recipes with two new ones for our holiday cookie tins.
I give these out to coworkers, friends and so on.
These linzer cookies were one of the two new recipes I wanted to try. I purchased the Wilton Lizer Cookie Cutters a while back but didn’t have a chance to try them out until now.
This recipe from Real Simple worked great and the cookie dough was really easy to work with. The only thing I would change for next time: I don’t think I will toast the almonds next time, they make the almond flavor overpowering.

Good morning on this last Monday before Christmas! Our weekend was a whirlwind of baking for gifts, parties and just general yummines for home.
I will share my favorite recipes with you this week but first I wanted to show you the final look of the gift for grandma that you helped me with.
Option 5 combination was the winner and I love how they turned out! Do you?

With four avid readers in the family I couldn’t not include gift suggestions for your little bookworm :)

Colorful bookmarks and personalized book plates will make any reading experience feel more special.
A colorful art print will liven up any book shelf, and I am in love with the idea of a personalized journal to write down any quotes and ideas your little bookworm might imagine :)

Since we are a Florida business, we had to have gifts for the Southern Belle as part of our Winter Wonderland. There is no one better for the job but one of my favorite businesses Swanky Baby Vintage :)
One of my favorite items for little girls is this super cute rosy barrette by Nest Pretty Things. I have personally purchased several of her items for our photo shoots, and the quality is amazing. These little barrettes finish off most any outfit by adding a touch of southern belle charm!
A particular customer favorite found in our personal store is the Mya Dress. This dress style has been a customer favorite for quite some time now! When I look at this dress, I can’t help but think Southern Charm!
A home decor piece I must recommend for the Southern Belle, is found at Define Your Space Vinyl, another company which I have personally purchased from before, the sign I purchased was amazing!! My new personal favorite sign from her site is, The Robbins Round.
For the southern belle with a classic southern belle style home, the flea market throw, by Moda Home is a charming addition. It reminds me of cold days at grandma’s house, all bundled up with my favorite homemade quilt.
And for the southern belle that loves to cook, you must know about the wonderful vintage style apron, also by Moda Home. I fell in love with the apron while browsing the new Moda catalog. I simply adore birds, so this caught my eye right away. My home is a french country style and I could so envision this hanging in my kitchen!
One of our readers has a chance to win a $50.00 store credit to Swanky Baby Vintage!

Little Speckled Frog is visiting the Winter Wonderland today with fun eco- friendly toy suggestions:
I am pretty sure Santa is “green”. He lives amongst the natural beauty of the untainted North Pole, his elves make all of the toys by hand, and his sled is powered by reindeer for goodness sakes!
Here is a list of great “green” gifts, even eco-conscious Santa would approve of:
Little Speckled Frog is an eco-chic children’s boutique specializing in organic, natural, and eco-friendly products. We believe that “going green” should be be just that – green… and purple, and orange , and blue, and red, and pink polka dot too! “Green” products can be fun and colorful as well as healthy for our children and the earth. Hop on over, and check out Little Speckled Frog for yourself!
We will pick 1 of our wonderful readers as the winner!
TO BE ELIGIBLE TO WIN YOU MUST:
