I am always in need of quick and easy Christmas treats. While I love to bake during the holidays, it doesn't always happen. Sometimes our jam packed schedule makes it impossible to bust out a fresh batch of cookies. This year, my son needed a treat for his class party, and of course I didn't find out about it until the night before. I decided to forgo the hour-long baking session and make Candy Trains for the kids. Not only are they delicious, they are quick to make and super cute! Candy ...

Tips For The Perfect Holiday Photos
Ah, the holiday season. With Hanukkah, and Christmas coming up a LOT sooner than I expected, I find myself getting my camera ready for what’s coming. With lights, colors, love, and most of all – awe and magic – I put a different emphasis on holiday photos than I would for photos I take the rest of the year. Why? The light is different, for one.
