Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I love it because it’s all about the gratitude and not about the gifts. It’s the only holiday where presents aren’t pushed and giving thanks is embraced. It’s a time to be with your family and friends to celebrate the joy of living and love for each other. My wish [...]
Holiday Cookie Recipe
November 18, 2010 By 6 Comments
Years ago, I was a hugely loyal fan of Southern Living Magazine. For years, I received a monthly subscription and there were several years where I purchased the holiday book that contained wonderful recipes. Fast-forward ten years and I no longer have the subscription or the books (part of my moving decluttering…sorry, Southern Living), but [...]

Pre-holiday decluttering… It doesn’t matter if we’ve been naughty or nice, pre-holiday is the best time to declutter to make room for the slew of new stuff. Think of this process as a way to create a space for what’s on your holiday list. If you’ve asked Santa for some new books, consider purging some [...]

If there’s one thing that makes me jump out of bed, it’s coffee. Yes, “I’m Stacey, and I’m a coffeeholic!” I go to sleep thinking about that first cup of coffee in the morning. My two-cup minimum in the morning and a pick me up in the afternoon satisfies my coffee craving. The nicest thing [...]
