Coffee & Conversation

it’s the weekend! Join me for some coffee and a glance at the week in review including some family Christmas fun!

Happy Saturday! What a week it has been. We had an amazing time at the cabin for Thanksgiving (a fun recap post is coming :), and jumped into the week full of Christmas festivities!

I LOVE decorating the Christmas tree, and it’s a night we look forward to every year. Some families love the process of looking for a tree and chopping it down.

We, on the other hand, are the point-to-the-tree-and-have-someone-else-do-the-rest kind of a family.

And this is why we go to Stauffers Of Kissel Hill.

Slide the tab to decorate our tree!

Earlier this week I also shared an annual tribute that I wrote in memory of my best friend who died of breast cancer two years ago.

I hope reading it encourages you and brings you a smile.

Did you see my vintage bistro chair makeover with Dixie Belle Paint? My favorite part was the unbelievably easy antique chipped paint effect I got with one of their products.

See what these chairs look like now! These products would make a great gift for the DIY lover in your life.

The December issue of the imPERFECTly emPOWERed Journal hit the virtual stands on December 1st! On Thursday I shared a preview of what this month’s issue includes.

Let’s check out some more amazing blogging finds from last week’s Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

These rustic and simple DIY twine Christmas trees look so cute on a mantel.

Homemade vanilla extract is a wonderful little Christmas gift idea for neighbors, teachers, or friends.

These soft and fluffy sugar cookies are so easy and festive!

And these buttery salted caramel thumbprint cookies are perfect for your next cookie exchange too.

If you’re looking for a no-bake holiday treat, try this chocolate peppermint tart.

These tips for hosting overnight guests for the holidays makes it simple and low-stress.

Have a great weekend!
