Giving a Meaningful Gift this Season

We're shifting gears a bit and giving a meaningful gift this season. 

Check out how you can, too.

Y'all, I'm going to be a bit of a mess throughout this post, so just bear with me, k? Sometimes I look around and wonder, "Why are we blessed? Why not everyone?" While I certainly can't answer these questions, I can start a conversation with my own kiddos with how to help others that aren't as fortunate. This year, we're changing up Christmas a bit. I'm a bit over the commercialism and mass amounts of materialistic expectations that tend to surface this time of the year...I'm certainly guilty of that, too. I get on social media and immediately start with the "my house isn't as Christmas pretty as hers..." or, "gosh, I need just one (more) pair of perfect boots to complete that Christmas outfit..." or, "wow, Christmas cards...mine are never as fancy as everyone else's,"...I could go on and on. But, then, I see these photos on the CARE site and am humbled to my core. Why do I even give a flip about a pair of pretty boots when all these sweet faces would just give anything for one single meal? One. I mean, really, y'all? I'm rallying the troops and we're doing things a bit different this year. Check out how we're picking out gifts from this CARE catalog this year>>> 

Free Joy to the World Printable

This free Joy to the World printable is available in four different colors below.

It's the perfect addition to your Christmas decor. 

Sometimes a simple printable is my favorite. I actually created this design back in October for use on another site that I contribute to. But, I loved it so much that I kept it for here (I can be a bit selfish at times. True story.). Today was the first chance I've had to share it with you. There are four different color options to coordinate with your decor (and ink levels...ha!). Download your favorite below. 

How to Make a Weathered JOY Sign

Today, I'm sharing a simple tutorial for how to make a weathered JOY sign. I almost didn't post this, y'all. But after sharing a photo on social media earlier this week where this sign was captured, a few of you asked me where to buy it. It was all kinds of free (hoarding paint works to my advantage sometimes). Check out the tutorial below. 

J-O-Y, J-O-Y, this is what it means...Jesus first, Yourself last, and Others in between (hey!)...anyone else singing that old Sunday school song right about now? No? Just me? Ah well, if you know it, it's now in your head (you're welcome). I keep seeing everyone's cute JOY porch signs all over the interwebs and thought it was about time to create one for my house. I already have my big NOEL sign on my porch (or sitting next to my front door, inside the house, patiently waiting for me to move it for the last week...ahem), so I wanted to create a JOY sign for my fireplace hearth. I kind of did a bit of a Christmas decor tweak (okay, overhaul) this year...after thirteen years of marriage, a lot of our stuff was falling apart (we got married right before the holidays...so we bought a little bit of super cheap decor that year for our first little Christmas. It's served us well, but...the time had come). When I set out for a new holiday look, I wanted to keep my budget in check(ish), so I actually made a boatload of stuff myself. It's my own form of procrastinating on my book manuscript that's due next month (#ahhhfreakout). Check out how I made this baby for zilch below. Nada. Zip. Zing.

Pineapple Cinnamon Cupcakes

Today's post is sponsored by EVITE® and Dole 100% DOLE® Canned Pineapple Juice. 
All opinions are mine.

#LifesBetterTogether, #BeThere, #Evite

I've never, (repeat: never), met a cupcake I didn't like. Okay, love. My youngest takes after me. We once went to a potluck where (under supervision of a preteen) he consumed five cupcakes in one sitting. I was stunned. And concerned...but you, know, it all ended well. These Pineapple Cinnamon Cupcakes from EVITE and Dole look like our kind of dessert.

I just love that these are made with a boxed yellow caked mix and several other yummy ingredients, including 100% DOLE® Canned Pineapple Juice. During the holidays, recipes like these are such timesavers...but also showstoppers! It's the perfect combination.
