I had to share my FAVE Easter image from Pinterest via NORDSTROM!

 I LOVE the contrast of the bright metallic gold against the soft pinkish hue! 


It made me think what a FAB accent idea for a NURSERY....
LITTLE CROWN INTERIORS used this beautiful damask wallpaper
for the focal wall behind the crib. Love it!

Double-stuff Oreo Chocolate chip Cookie recipe for your holiday party


Want a drop dead delish desert for your upcoming holiday parties? I'm talkin’ about the double stuff Oreo Chocolate chip Cookie recipe! This recipe is so easy!  




All you need is a bag of Oreo cookies, double stuffed of-course, and the makings for a chocolate chip batter mix. I made these babies for a cookie- swap party last week and they were a hit!  It makes 2 dozen very large cookies! 

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 sticks softened butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 Cup granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
  • 10 oz bag chocolate chips – I used the large chips
  • 1 bag Oreo Cookies, I used the double stuff

MIXING:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine butter and sugars in an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla
  • Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and then add to the wet ingredients.
  • Mix the chocolate chips into the batter
CONSTRUCTING:
  • Take a scoop of cookie dough and place on the top of the Oreo cookie.
  • Take a scoop of cookie dough and place on the bottom of the Oreo cookie.
  • Now press the dough around the entire oreo cookie. (all sides)
  • Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
Enjoy with a tall glass of milk!! Yummmmm!

Elf on a Shelf antics


I just had to share all the fun my daughter, ok me too, are having with the Elf on a Shelf doll. If you're not a parent yet, this little Elf keeps your children in check before Santa comes to town. He 'magically' moves around your house too, with a little shove here and there....Here are some of the antics that are going on...



Happy holidays!!
