Twas a few weeks before Christmas and I didn’t know what to do! My friend was a tea drinker, but this I already knew:
She’s got teacups and teabags, stirrers galore—I’ve already bought her the entire tea-drinking-store!
Well, let me tell you:
Tea to go is the stocking stuffer you’ve been looking for.
As you may have noticed, I have a love for all things old-fashioned, feel-goody, and thoughtful. So, there was no way that I was going to let February 7th pass me by this year. Are YOU prepared?
We recently got a ***brand new*** Hobby Lobby nearby.
My sister and I used to drive at least 45 minutes with 3 littles in the back seat to get there.
Now we just stroll right on over whenever we get the chance…let’s just say it’s a game changer.
So, as I was strolling through my friendly neighborhood Hobby Lobby, I noticed the overwhelming amount of Christmas decorations made of PomPoms…I’m talking ornaments, trees, garlands, pillows…you name it!
But the prices were OUTRAGEOUS. So, I carted myself and my little crafty baby over to the kids section and started throwing PomPoms in my cart. (Continue reading…)
Isn’t it just the best when there’s a pattern that you can use in more than one way!?
I discovered the beauty of this with my Squared Fashion Wrap, originally created for the chilly winter months. I then realized with a different fabric, it’s perfect for a beach cover up!
…but enough about that, it’s chilly for now, so let’s focus on the bitter cold blast that’s coming our way. (Continue reading…)

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas this weekend! Today I won’t be posting anything more than Christmas wishes—I think it’s healthy to take a break and really savor the time we have with our family and friends during this time. So, count this as your sign to put down the phone or close your laptop and go spend time with the ones you love—all we have is today, so enjoy it while today is still called today!
Merry Christmas from (all 3 of) the Rossis! 🙂
A few weeks ago, I was brainstorming with my Mom on what to get my neighbors and friends for Christmas. I had made small jars of Blackberry Jam earlier in the year for this purpose, but what else do you give with a little jar of jam!? After hearing my tales of the magic and overabundant Luffa in my backyard (a full tutorial on how to grow Luffa and turn them into sponges coming soon!), my Mom suggested that I ditch the jam and gift each person with a jar of homemade epsom salts and a luffa sponge. It was the perfect idea (that’s why she’s my Mom, I guess!) that incorporated my love of baths (who doesn’t love a bath?), essential oils, and gardening. Today I’m going to show you how to whip up this affordable and adorable Christmas gift, perfect for neighbors, church friends, family, and family friends!
