Happy Holidays!

    My dear blogging friends,


    I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.  I just wanted to send you all warm wishes during this time of year.   I hope Santa was good to you and that you all remembered the true reason for the season.  I don't know if I'll have time to blog much this week so I want to wish you all a very Happy New Years as well.

DIY Christmas Décor!

    Happy Tuesday Everyone!  Hope y’all are having a great week so far…and if any of you are taking exams/finals…I wish you all GOOD LUCK!  My fiancé and both of my roommates are in their 1st semester of law school so it’s been a little crazy and stressful around my house….I tend to stay out of their way and play on Pintrest on my down time.  I am loving all of the Holiday ideas and decoration from that site and just wanted to share some of my favorites that I’ve seen so far this year. 
    Write something “Christmas-y” on a chalkboard and put it over the

Peppermint White Chocolate Covered Oreos

    Hello Blogging friends of mine.  Hope y’all are doing great.  I’ve been super busy lately with work, going to the gym, wedding stuff…which we got our Save-The-Dates in the mail this past week…yay!!!...so I’ve been addressing envelops and all of that good stuff….BUT, I did make the time to make some Holiday Treats.  My future brother-in-law came home this weekend so we all celebrated Christmas at the “Honea’s” and I thought I’d bring some kind of creative dessert. 
    These are SUPER easy to make and are absolutely delicious.  There is a trick to this recipe however - Eating just one!  Bon Appetit!

    What you need:

    1 package Oreo cookies
    1 package of white/dark Nestle chocolate chips…whichever you prefer
    1 package of (Andes) peppermint sprinkles
    Wax paper

    How to make them:
    Melt white chocolate.
    Dip each Oreo in the white chocolate, then lay out on wax paper
    Sprinkle with peppermint sprinkles.

    Let them cool for about 30 minutes and ENJOY!
