The beauty of the Christmas season brings joy & warmth every year. This year, more than ever, I think we could use a hefty dose of both! This is my second Christmas season as a mom, and I love thinking of ways to make the Christmas experience magical and exciting for my little one. I also enjoy seeing other families’ traditions.

I think it’s pure and endearing. However, there’s...

With all the holiday hustle and bustle, I love a meal that can be made with minimal ingredients in the crockpot. Plus it's even better the next day! My mom has cooked this chili for as long as I can remember and I’ve made a few changes over the years: one being the omission of corn because my husband is allergic, but you could...
