​Stocking Stuffers…. This year I decided to make homemade vanilla as a stocking stuffer.......Vanilla needs at least 3 weeks to sit and rest but once it is ready- it's amazing… its makes for the perfect heart warming gift or a little holiday treat to make for yourself……. You’ll never want to buy pre-made again…..

​Ingredients:
40 proff Vodka
5 Vanilla Beans
Directions: Split Vanilla beans in half- slicing  from top to bottom.  Place in glass container. Pour vodka over to top until beans are covered. Let sit for at least  Three Weeks…. Then ENJOY!!!!!
​Where are you Christmas… I know I've found you….. We’ve found it…. The Jones household is in full swing…. Christmas decorting has begun…. The boys and I love to decorate the tree… Travis sets it up… but we take care of the rest… Carter is my little helper- my little holiday elf…. Colby could have cared less…. He likes the lights but as for the ornaments… well…. they look a little too much like a play toy…. We had several silver oranments being thrown across the room- my baby has quite an arm…..

​For us Christmas decorating is about mixing the  old with the new…. We keep the basic style of our house and then add in details of the holiday. White pillows changed to  Red….. Antiques books displayed with Red bindings….Red berries added to vases and arrangements…… Much like with my Holiday Photo Session… I love mixing different patterns… ruffles with knits… cotton stems in a silver mercury vase…….deminsion makes my world go around and pulls a look together…. 
​The fireside is burning….What is more inviting then the glow of the fireplace…..

​More Christmas Décor posts to come…. Wait until to see what we do with Christmas Cards….…. XOXOXOX

​Turkey, Spinach Casserole, Sweet Potatoes Casserole, Gluten Free Dressing, Seven Layer Salad with homemade  Ranch Dressing, Crustless Pumpkin Pie and so much more………We make these all year long but are our favorites  for Thanksgiving.  We enjoyed every bite... Here are our favorite gluten free fares :
Black FRIDAY…..how many of you went out this year for Black Friday…. I've gone several years in the past, but this year, I decided to shop online in my PJ’s….. Despite not heading out to the stores, I did snag some excellent deals. This sweater from the Limited couldn’t be any cuter….I bought mine prior to the sale, but you better believe, I picked up two more on this sale… another color for me and one for my BFF! It’s so warm and chic but has a slight edge with the chiffon under layer…. A must!!!!

​Khols never seems to disappoint on Black Friday…. The deals were amazing… but my favorite find was an addition to my Pot and Pan set. I snagged this pan to match my others…..Well, my mom did- Thanks Mom!!!.... Little story, last year, we had to get new pots and pans when it was determined that Colby had Celiac… Ive tried a lot of different brands, and I adore these ceramic pots and pans from Khols…. They work wonderfully !!!! If you are in need of a new set… these by far are definitely worth checking out!!!!
