I want this for my coffee :)

So my husband is responsible for getting me addicted to coffee. I never liked coffee until he made me my first french press cup, and then it was over. I'm still not a drip coffee fan but give me french press in quantity any day and I'll be a happy camper. I'm also now a fan of lattes and espresso and basically anything else.

So in the spirit of sharing I have found this wonderful and totally cute, green solution to a cup of coffee that is too hot! (And a way to never forget it) Check out these cozy cuffs at www.shopcozycuff.com/products!

Cheers.

Fun clothes shopping at Mod Cloth

So I ran into this site the other day and wanted to share some of the goodies I've found here on Mod Cloth. I'm really loving all their clothes, shoes and accessories. I definitely plan on bookmarking this one and showing it to my husband, I definitely have a birthday coming up....

My Christmas Cookie Adventures

Well, we're back from all our Christmas fun and the wedding extravaganza of the year. I can finally post some of the things I was working on for presents! I did a mason jar full of the dry ingredients for the most delicious white chip orange cookies. They're a huge hit when my husbands Army friends come over for dinner. Here's an image of my own little army of mason jar cookies:

The recipe is inside the label and is as follows:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1 egg

2-3 tsp grated orange peel

2 cups (12 oz. package) white chocolate chip morsels

Combine flour and baking soda in a small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and orange peel. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop dough by the tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy!

Congrats to Caitlin and Andrew!

I am so happy to congradulate my cousin and his new wife on their wedding! It was a beautiful ceremony, with a beautiful bride and handsome groom, great friends and family and much festivities to be had by all! I can't wait until I get home and get a chance to post some of the pictures from the wedding. Until then I am having a great time being home with the family.

Searching for a headband

So my hair is a little too short to do anything fun with for my cousin's wedding, but I wanted something cute to hold it back. Here's some fun little bands I found while searching Etsy:
