Christmas decor and dogs, more specifically puppies, can be nothing short of chaotic. However, it can also be nothing out of the ordinary, it’ll just depend on your dog and their attitude and interest in things. Having a dog or a puppy doesn’t mean you can’t decorate for Christmas, but you should take a little…
Is there anything better than chocolate peanut butter squares? These can be made year-round and for any occasion, but in our family, these are a traditional dessert spread option. EVERY YEAR. These and shortbread cookies. If you’ve ever been over to our house or my aunt’s house in the month of December, you’ll have seen…
I wanted to do some fun blog posts, and that includes this Christmas tag. I know that tags aren’t the most popular thing anymore, but I figured it was a good way for you to get to know me a little better, but centred around the holidays. You know that I would totally love to…

One thing I have always found to be an issue when it comes to decorating for the holidays is that there can be a serious lack of small space for Christmas decor posts whether on blogs or just on social media. I live in a city that has a lot of highrises so house decorating…
Peppermint brownies are something I love to make during the holidays. So I thought, in honour of National Brownie Day, this would be the perfect opportunity to share this recipe with you. This did start from a family gift in a jar type of recipe when we were growing up. But the addition of the…
Unwinding during the holidays seems like an oxymoron doesn’t it? At the time of writing this, the holidays are shaping up to have some semblance of normalcy to them this year. In 2020 we did virtual Hanukkah and Christmas and we all felt some sort of longing for the usual. I do think that’s true,…
