happy new year.

we'll be ringing in the new year with a sweet winter garland because decorations are not just for christmas only.

also:
a concert for peace.
fireworks.
bread baking.
letter writing.

happiest new year to each of you.
thanks for spending another year with me in this space.

egg nog.

eggs
mixer
combination
eggnog
i know. for some people there's nothing less appetizing. but for me, egg nog is pure delight. it's memories of childhood christmases in a frosty glass. yes. woolly tights, velvety dresses, scratchy headbands, and egg nog mustaches on four little girls. that was christmas eve at my house.

this version is easy and rewarding to make at home. just be sure to use fresh eggs from a nearby farm. if you're feeling fresh, add a splash or two of bourbon (we like this one). grate fresh nutmeg atop and enjoy.

box elder.

lately, i've been pining after cozy things around here. little somethings to snuggle up with. this box elder sweater from kinship press looks just right. to be paired with oversized socks and a mug of hot chocolate.
