I’ve been busy cranking out Christmas content over the past couple of weeks. I’ve partnered with 11 other awesome bloggers to help bring you “12 Days of Christmas” which was a really fun collaboration paired with a great big giveaway. Here are all of the prizes that were up for grabs: All of this stuff…
I’m from San Antonio and Mexican food is a Christmas Eve tradition. These green chicken enchiladas are a hit every time I’ve made them. We had tamales at Christmas as far back as I can remember.

I’m not a bah humbug person. Far from it. I love Christmas. I’ve been playing Christmas music since mid-November and nagging my husband to get up on the roof and string enough lights so that our house can be seen from space. I wanted to bring our elves on the shelf (yes, there are two)…
I am now one of those “sports moms.” My calendar is cram-jam packed with practices and games. I know my way around the sporting goods store and I even know the rules to most of the sports my kids play. Not very well but I have a basic understanding. My boys are six so we’re…
