the holidays are upon us!

I can't believe that we are well into the month of November. This year is absolutely flying by. I am excited that we are going to LV for Thanksgiving to see family. My husband is absolutely amazing and agreed to me (and our pup, Emma) flying up a few days early so I can be there for this sweet girls 6th birthday:


Our niece, Kylie.

I will also get to be there for my sister, Lisa's birthday as well (it's 2 days after Kylies). We are going to see the final Twilight movie together (already bought tickets haha), it should be a great girls night out. 

 Sisters! :)

This week I am going to be finishing up some Christmas shopping (I know you probably think I'm crazy lol), since we won't be in LV for Christmas I want to make sure that the shopping is done really early. I am excited to spend Christmas in our new house in Texas. We are going to try and go to LV for maybe a week after the holidays and before Kyle starts work but we will see how everything works out.

With all the talk of holidays and food, I had the urge to bake something yesterday, this is what I came up with:


Spice Cupcake with Buttercream Frosting and Caramel Drizzle (cupcake and frosting are homemade)

They are delicious!! If you want the recipes keep an eye out on my food blog 


I hope you all are having an amazing Wednesday!
