Stocking Stuffers: Pet Edition

I know I said that my “Stocking Stuffers” series was finished…

BUT…

We all know that the definition of FAMILY is diverse. Families come in all shapes and sizes. The American Veterinary Medical Association released a stat in which, “85% of dog-owners and 76% of cat-owners think of their pets as family,” (Southern Methodist University, July 16 2021). That being said, our furry family members are deserving of a little treat and extra love at Christmas.

Dress Like…

AUDREY HEPBURN

She was and continues to be the epitome of style and grace. She is not only my favourite actress but also one of my style icons. She mesmerized me from the first time I saw Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961).

Great Christmas Cookie Decorating Tutorials

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE the Food Network and I have spent countless hours watching it; I usually have it on in the background while I’m cooking, cleaning, marking, writing at home. My favourite program this time of the year is the Christmas Cookie Challenge. I am so blown away by the bakers’ talent and skill when it comes to decorating cookies. I decided to learn –the jury is still out on my level of mastery, however, I did find some super great tutorials.

I read a great article on the Wilton blog about the types of icing for sugar cookies and I tried my hand at some of them.

Buttercream

Royal Icing

Cookie Icing or Glazing

Christmas Staff Party Outfit

Staff parties are back! We haven’t had one since December 2019 and you can bet your bottom dollar that we are going to ring in the Christmas season with gusto (in keeping with current health regulations –of course!).

But what should I wear???

Ribbed V Neck Sweater Dress (Heather Green Gables) from Reitmans
Snowflake Earrings & Necklace Set from Etsy
Santley Box Clutch (Black) from Aldo
Koosaflex Ballerina Flats (Black) from Aldo*

*Normally, I’d pair this sweater dress with boots; however, I am still recovering and haven’t been cleared to wear heels. These ballerina flats are much fancier than my Nikes. BUT secretly I can’t wait until I can wear these…
