Everyday Maddie

 Happy Wednesday! I am joining a new (to me) link up today where we are talking about different things we are "currently"...... LOVING. LOOKING FORWARD TO. SMELLING. PREPARING FOR. and THANKFUL FOR. Currently LOVING: Looking at all my Christmas decor. I am loving all the festive things right now! I am an early decorator. Here's my philosophy.... Currently LOOKING FORWARD TO:  Well, Christmas. Ha! I'm also very much looking forward to Thanksgiving! I love all the yummy foods and family time! Currently SMELLING: All the Christmas candles! My favorites are anything balsam/winter pine/frasier fir/etc. I also love cinnamon/spices/etc. Currently PREPARING FOR:  Wrapping all the gifts!! I got some wrapping paper, ribbon, bags, etc. the other day at Marshall's, and I am so excited to get to wrapping!  Currently THANKFUL FOR:  I am so very thankful for all of my memories from past holidays! I love all of our traditions, and even though those are pretty much the same every

 Need something yummy to make for the holidays?? These cookies are delicious and taste like FALL! Taylor shared these several years ago, and I finally got around to making them. Here is her recipe.... And this version includes the icing recipe.... I'm not sure if it's her icing recipe, or if someone else made it up. But it's delish! And for the final product! YUM. And baking in your pjs is the best! Happy Tuesday and happy baking!!

Happy Monday, friends! I had a super festive and fun weekend, and I am linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday to share all about it! Friday morning started with me taking down all the fall/Halloween decor to make way for Christmas!! I listened to my fave Christmas song to get in the spirit even more so than I already was! I made a ricotta mixture for our delicious dinner. I didn't take any pictures, but I met Caleb and his dad, brother, and grandfather for lunch at our favorite Starkville spot- The Grill. Lasagna soup for dinner! Definitely one of my very favorites!! Caleb indulged me in watching a Christmas movie while we ate and decorated. We watched Christmas with the Kranks! No matter how many times I watch it, it does not get old. I love it! Super festive Saturday morning coffee. YUM. My mom, step-dad, and Mimi got to our house around 1 am!  Our Saturday appetizer before we ordered Papa Johns. I am now adding basil and salt and vinegar chips to all of my cheese board

 Well happy November! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some favorite things from the week! My very favorite thing from the week (and probably the year!) was The Eras Tour! I have a post dedicated to the night that you can read here.  We had the BEST time!! Our post concert dinner was a fave... I love Cane's! I mean, we ate at 12:30am, but it was still delish! I guess everything today is going to be Eras related. I'm not sad about it! I got a tshirt and sweatshirt at the concert, and I really haven't worn anything else since 😂. Definite faves! A girl I watch on Tik Tok was eating these, so I grabbed them at the grocery store yesterday. They are SO good! They're the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. I ate them by themselves and on a cracker with cheese and pepper jelly. YUM. To pair with my mini charcuterie, I opened my favorite wine that I got when we went to Charleston a couple months ago! And my last fave for today....my Christmas decor is going u
