12 Days of Christmas! Day 9: Gingerbread Palooza, Q+A and a Giveaway! {CLOSED}
Yes, I made gingerbread with my little ginger.
If you guys have been reading my blog for a few years, you might remember that two years ago, the night before I had Max, I went to my parents’ house and we made a gingerbread house. I was in labor while doing it (but didn’t really know I was) and it’s sort of been a tradition ever since! The houses. Not the labor.
This year, my dad and I tried out the gingerbread village from Target. I loved it so much! It was so fun getting to decorate a few different mini houses.
Max and I also mixed up gingerbread dough to bake cookies dough. It’s chilling in the fridge and I can’t wait.
ALSO! I’m going to film a Q+A video this week, so ask whatever you want to ask in the comments, on instagram, on twitter or in an email! xo
Yesterday’s giveaway winner for the Madewell Tote is Stacy S who said “I’m grateful for the people that love me and my kids….without them, I don’t know where we would be.”
