Pi(e) Day

We are a pretty nerdy/geeky family and don’t really need any sort of reason to celebrate pie. It’s fun to celebrate silly holidays like these! With Pi / π Day around the corner, I’ve been searching for all sorts of recipes to try out.

Shortbread Cookies

After trying an abundance of combinations, this is the recipe I use as a base for all my shortbread cookies. I love eating these warm and straight out of the oven, but I especially love dipping these in a cup of hot tea, hot coffee, or hot chocolate. Please give this recipe a try, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

Life Lately

Things have been so hectic with work and life lately, that I’m just enjoying a breather right now. A breather to make a checklist of the remaining things I have to do before Christmas and New Year’s. A breather to think about the things I’m most looking forward to.

Favorite Christmas Movies

While there are a ton of Christmas movies to choose from, there are always a few movies I must watch every single year. Some may argue a few of the listed movies aren’t quite “Christmas”. To me, if the movie is involved with the holiday, then it’s a Christmas movie!

Here are a few of my/our favorite movies to watch during the Christmas holiday season.

Christmas Stockings

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can finally concentrate on Christmas! I do have a little bit of shopping left to do though. Specifically, stocking stuffers. Here are some of my ideas so far.
