This year, the lovely Lindsay from Typically Late and I are going to host a Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies link-up! I think it’ll be a great way to trade cookie recipes and for everyone to try something new! Each day will have a theme. You’ll just need to post your recipe (no pictures needed), and the recipes can be reposts. Our link-up will start on December 13 and will end… View Post »

The homecoming outfit
I know I’m not alone here in immediately preparing for homecomings as soon as Mac has left. Even if R&R is months away, counting down to something just makes each day a little bit more bearable.
