No Bake Cookies–a holiday favorite of mine


It’s that time of year when homemade goodies are an essential. For me, I like to keep things easy and simple; I also like to share!

Here is the link to the recipe I used (and of course, I had to sample the goodies) I also substituted 1/2 the vanilla for almond infusion as it makes it so cheery! And a little music to help set the mood as you bake/cook/ enjoy the Season!

Don’t let it be a blue Christmas (or holiday in general). Twinkle all the way!


Christmas and the holidays are just around the corner and we know what kind of crazyness that can add to people’s lives.

You can win two ways this year, support a local artist whom had hand-made fashion accessories (scarves and necklaces and more) and beautifully hand painted art, give a gift to yourself or to a loved one, items include free shipping and free gift wrapping (upon request).

Pickens for Autumn, Changing of the leaves in Pickens County, South Carolina


Nature’s hues put pantone to shame. Rich, saturated colors of oranges, burgundy, crimson, spices, golds, and so many more shades that words can not describe or depict!

The Sunday drive on a Tuesday proved fruitful and the cool, crisp air and carolina blue skies made for a perfect day of wandering and sipping coffee.
