60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes {and When It's Time to End It}

If you're looking for a winning recipe for your holiday cookie swaps, then scroll through this round-up  of 60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes on Taste As You Go!   Do you ever get That Feeling in your gut when you realize that what once brought you happiness now fills you with dread? You know the one... It's That Same Feeling that causes you to ask yourself repeatedly " Why am I doing this again?" I've been trying to battle that super persistent feeling for the past few weeks by giving myself little pep talks: "Don't give up now. You DO want to do this!"  "Don't you remember how much you used to love doing this? Just keep going!" " Do it one more time and you'll see -- everything will be fine. You'll feel much better once you get it over with." But no matter how many times I tried to get excited about it, I found a reason to avoid doing it. (Thank you, Caroline.)

Cutting Down Family Christmas Tree at the Christmas Tree Farm | Taste As You Go

Sharing what I'm loving right now, family/life happenings, favorite finds, and whatever else pops into my head.

Now that Thanksgiving is in our rearview, we've turned our focus over to Christmas. If you've seen my Instagram Stories, then you know the kids have already requested I put Mariah Carey on repeat 🤦🏽. 

I started decorating our living room fireplace mantel before Thanksgiving... but I added some more Christmasy pieces this morning. Then my husband and I brought up other boxes of decorations, and we got our Christmas tree this afternoon.

So our house is starting to look pretty festive. I'm looking forward to seeing our tree with lights and ornaments... and I can't wait to finish decorating the rest of the house this weekend!

Before I head to bed to rest up for our decorating adventures, here's a new batch of Tidbits for you to read when you find the time.

Enjoy!

  1. For the most part, we've put our fall decorations away. But I love these velvet pumpkins and am thinking about ordering some so we'll be ready for next fall. They'd look super cute on top of the dresser we have in the hallway upstairs.

  2. This rolling cart has been a lifesaver in our house. So much so, I ordered two.

  3. Since I started Christmas shopping before Halloween, I also ordered this year's matching family pajamas back in October. Our oldest is a fan of this style, while our youngest still prefers the snug-fit. I am loving that these pajamas are more inclusive in design in that you can choose what skin color Santa has!

  4. This is my new favorite Dudley. Because pockets. I need to order it in all the colors.

  5. With the colder weather comes the return of my winter skin, so I'm trying to stay on top of my water intake. Lately, I've really been into combining sparkling water made with my SodaStream and ruby red grapefruit juice. So refreshing!

  6. I started decorating for Christmas by decorating our mantel. I wanted some more greenery and more twinkly lights, so I bought this garland, and it looks great!

  7. Even with the holidays, I've managed to make time for reading. This is my current read.
