Simple as That

Making Everyday Beautiful

getting ready for Christmas

Tired of keeping up with the holiday hustle? Enjoy a calm season filled with MORE memories & LESS overwhelm: Join us for 12 Days to a Simpler Holiday Season.

So how are everyone’s holiday preparations going? This year, since getting ready for Christmas and getting ready for baby fall so closely together I’ve been trying to get as much of my holiday stuff finished up as early as possible. I’m happy to report that we’re nearly there!
The house is decorated (we picked out only our very favorite decorations to put out this year and left the rest packed up), we’ll be doing a little bit of baking, some of these maybe:
WHITE CHOCOLATE DIPPED GINGER CRINKLES
2 1/4 cups butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup molasses
3/4 tsp salt
5 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp cloves
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
6 cups flour

mix and chill. roll dough into balls and dip top half in sugar. bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. dip in melted white chocolate after.

The holiday shopping is nearly done, the kids friend gifts are ready to give out (stay tuned over at write.click.scrapbook later this month to see what they are) and the Christmas cards are ready to mail. I’m giddy just thinking about all the stuff that is already DONE! Hee hee!

SIMPLE is definately the theme we’re going with this year and it’s been so great!

Here’s the simple little Christmas countdown me and Emily made using my big shot diecutting machine and a few strips of printed cardstock. It was easy to put together and the kids are enjoying it so much already!
