    Cinnamon Streusel Oat Scones

    Is it just me or is Christmas coming WAY too fast this year? I feel like it was just Thanksgiving and now Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! How does this happen? I am normally SO on top of my Christmas shopping. I normally have all my gifts wrapped and under the tree this year. I still have things that are shipping to me right now! Btdubs, I heart Amazon. They make shopping so easy…all I have to do is press the buy button and BOOM! It is there in 2 days. Love it! Anyways, I just feel rather unprepared this year for the holiday season and I am…

Take time to just be with the people you love and focus on yourself. I am guilty of trying to do too much and not give myself enough rest. Taking a break from blogging has been my way of taking a few things off my plate…

Ever heard of SAP? No? Keep it that way. Anyways, so I wanted to tell you guys how the weekend with for Patrick’s birthday went. I know a lot of you were asking how it went and where we went, etc. We ended up going to Boston, what a great place to St. Patty’s Day right? (except for me because I gave up alcohol for Lent, still holding strong!) Patrick…

    Traditions

    Does your family have traditions around the holidays? My family…. (picture above at the Liebro household – Thanks so much for having us over Christmas Eve. It was a great party.) Meet Mom and Dad. In our family there are certain traditions that we do during the Christmas season and have ever since I can remember and I thought that it would be nice to share them with you all.. We (mostly my mom) spend countless hours decorating every inch of the house with Santa figurines, stockings., and Christmas trees. Everywhere you look there is another little something that just oozes Christmas cheer. Along with the decorating my mom and…
