Welcome to the weekly High Five For Friday link-up hosted by Tif @ Bright On A Budget, Becky @ BYBMG, and myself. We're glad you're here! High Five for Friday is where we come together to share five highlights or five favorite things from the past week each Friday.

I've been in the Christmas Baking Spirit for about two weeks now. I've been pulling out all of my recipes, doing trial batches and trying to decide what I want to make for Christmas Gifts. I always make my friends cookies and candy for gifts, so this year I'm adding this Classic Vanilla Fudge to my list of things to make. It's a favorite of mine that I think everyone is sure to love.

Hey Y'all! I can't believe it is already December, can you? I'm so excited because that means Christmas is near. It really is the most wonderful time of year. I truly love Christmas and get so excited to start checking off my list of things to do. I want to see and do everything  and enjoy the Christmas Season as much as I can. I love celebrating the birth of Christ, seeing the beautiful lights, the happiness that it brings to my child, watching Christmas movies, eating the delicious foods and everything else that Christmas has to offer. I just love it all! So to help you out, here are 25 Things To Do This Christmas Season. Be sure to get out there, take in all the moments of Christmas and make the most of it. Enjoy it!

The holidays are here! The excitement at this time of year is infectious, and it’s the ideal opportunity to spend time celebrating with your friends and family. The holidays are a time to get together, and it’s wonderful to be able to open your home to guests and truly feel warmth in your home.

It seems like when Thanksgiving and Christmas time is near, it is such a stressful time when it should be the most enjoyable time. I love both holidays but I absolutely love Christmas. It really is the most wonderful time of year. I love celebrating the birth of Christ, but I feel like I really don't get to enjoy the true meaning of Christmas like I should. We are always in the hustle and bustle of things trying to get everything cooked, decorated perfectly and finding the perfect gift. Now that I have my son and he is at the age to really enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas, I want the holidays to be slower paced. I want to teach him to give thanks and teach him about the birth of Christ. I want to just bask in the wonderfulness of it all.  Here is what you can do now so that you can have a more relaxing Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It's almost Halloween and that means it's time to start planning out what you're going to give out to Trick or Treaters. Most of you have probably already bought your Halloween Candy, and some of you are probably last minute shoppers. When planning for Trick or Treat, please keep in mind that there are several children who have serious life-threatening food allergies. My son is severely allergic to peanuts and tree-nuts. Halloween can be so scary for Food Allergy Kids and their families, so please be considerate of them. Set aside a few safe snacks for those children who have food allergies, so that they can enjoy Halloween while being safe too. I can't speak for the other food allergies, but I can for Nut Allergies because that's what we struggle with. This is a list of Nut Free Safe Candy that I feel is safe for my son and other nut allergy kids.

It has finally felt like Fall these last few days in Kentucky. With Fall like weather, I have officially broken out my fall attire. My first Fall outfit that I have worn this year is this Pumpkin and Plaid Casual Look.

Baking can be fun but throw in a child or two in the mix, and you have every parent’s worst nightmare. However, it’s important to get your children cooking in the kitchen as it’s a basic life skill that will come in handy for them as they grow up. Here are some tips to make baking fun but mess-free.

Fall has officially been here for a week. I'm trying to dress the part, but this hot Kentucky weather isn't allowing me to enjoy my favorite season much. So for now, I'm sticking with t-shirts, thin pants and slip on shoes. This Burgundy and Leopard print outfit is comfy and cool enough to allow me to enjoy Fall without melting too much.
