Make sure to check out the rest of my 12 days of Christmas from 2012 here! Merry Christmas everyone!

Chocolate M&M Pretzels

Remember last year when I shared all those holiday tutorials? Well here's another one!  These chocolate M&M pretzel treats are super easy, great for any holiday party and quite tasty!

Here's what you need:

-Bag of pretzels

-2 bags of Hershey Kisses (you could do hugs too)

-Christmas M&Ms

Here's what you do:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Celsius.  While it's heating up, place pretzels neatly onto a cookie sheet with a silpat mat or wax/parchment paper

2. Place kisses on top of pretzels

3. Place prepared pretzels into the oven for 4-5 minutes, until the chocolate is shiny, but not melted

4. Take the treats out of the oven, and put an M&M on top of the kiss and push down.

Super simple, a nice sweet and salty treat to add to your holiday menu!

Breakfast TV!!!

So..super exciting, I had the amazing opportunity to be on Breakfast Television on Wednesday and it was so much fun!!!  Here's a little snap I took of the set!

I taped 2 segments, one was gift wrap ideas including the ones shows below (tutorial on the show!)

The second was my white chocolate candy cane oreos which you can view here!

I'll make sure to share links to the show once they're up!

September

Hi everyone!  It's been a while, so I thought I'd catch you up on what's been going on!  One post for each month starting with September.  

In September I started SCHOOL!  I'm taking an Apparel Design program in the city, so once a week I drive out for an evening class.  Here's what I wore to my first day of school!

Husband and I went on a coffee and game date (have you ever brought games to play on coffee dates? It's super fun!)

We bought the Fall Collection from David's Tea (Pumpkin Chai is my FAVORITE)

I bought some pretty loafers to romp about in Fall

Look out for October coming soon!
