Spiced Chocolate Nightcap

As much as I love the holiday season, I’m not going to pretend that it isn’t one of the most stressful times of the year.

  • Today marks the second week of advent where we light the faith candle. As a family we’ve been lighting our own advent wreath each evening, and it’s been an incredible way to connect and center ourselves ... to remind us of what the season is all about! In this crazy time, what do you and your family do to refresh?
  • We love our little town! The lighting of the Christmas tree is one of my favorite traditions! @franklintn @visitfranklintn
  • Programming lights all week means I need gorgeous nails to stare at occasionally! ;-)
  • Happy Thanksgiving friends! I am so thankful for all of you who follow me and my family on this crazy journey of life. I pray your day is filled with fun, family, and food!
  • Who else has a pie done?! This is a new one for me ... pumpkin pie on the bottom with heath pecan on top!
