1. SO EXCITED to announce the Holiday Entertaining Made Easy cookbook/booklet this week. There’s a digital and printed version available (printed version is spiral bound and can lay nice and flat on your counter while you cook!)
2. Banana saving hats – these little things supposedly help bananas last longer, they’d make a fun gift idea too!

   

3. What a writer learned about productivity from writing about productivity – this was a fascinating read.
4. Crackling wick maple syrup candle – this is so cozy and perfect to have burning in the fall and winter, just purchased one and it smells so maple-y.
5. Love this advice about tackling hard tasks. 

Bridget’s Picks

1. I just discovered this great, Midwestern small business and placed an order for my daughter for Christmas.  This mom created portable dollhouses – I think it’ll be great for long car rides.
2. Now that it’s getting pretty chilly, I am all about cozy warmth all the time.  I have a sherpa crewneck like this and think it’s so fun and especially perfect for fall to winter.  I also have a cardigan one that I wear when I’m at home almost every night.
3. This post made me laugh out loud…big time.  I always love when a business can have a little fun and this nursery certainly did that!

Alyssa’s Picks

1. I just got these pants and they are SO comfy! I shared another pair of knit/sweater ones a few weeks ago but I love these ones too and they have a lot of fun colors!
2. This families videos always pop up on my feed but this is such a cool and clever way to make chocolate turtles!
3. Have you heard of the ‘Shacket’ trend?? I think I like them and I’ve had my eye on this one and someone shared this one that looks SUPER cozy for winter.
4. I love coffee cups and one place that always has really cool and beautiful mugs is Anthropologie! I’ve had my eye on these for a long time and love these ones for Christmas time!

The Team’s Favorite – Spice

Phi

• Right now, I cannot get enough of Cinnamon. I love it in my morning coffee.  If you’re ever looking for a super high quality one, this Vietnamese Ground cinnamon is a winner

Bridget

• I’m not sure if this counts as a spice, but I’m going to say yes!  We love spice at our house, so I am often adding red pepper flakes to things.

Alyssa

• One spice I always love to add to roasted veggies is sea salt and black peppercorn!
