    Ho ho ho! Santa Hollyce is here to spread some Christmas cheer…what’s the best part of the holidays? For me – the FOOD! Especially baking sweet treats. If you have been a long-time follower, you will know that before I was a special needs mom…before I was a stepmom…before I was wife…before I was a recruiter…I was a pastry chef. It is my heart’s passion and I bleed simple syrup. The holiday season is the BIG SHOW for me. Baking pies for Thanksgiving, decorating sugar cookies with my kids, and making candy over the stove – these are the things I live for this time of year! I asked on…

    February 7, 2019

    The day of love is just around the corner! As you all may remember from Christmas, I love holiday books. They add a theme and a variety to our at home library. As we approach our next major commercial holiday, I set out to do some research and read over 30 cupid-themed books. I selected my 12 favorites (in particular order) that you may want to consider gifting to your little ones next Thursday for Valentine’s Day. I’ve provided affiliate links (at no cost to you but help our family) to Amazon and all are available with Prime – so you have plenty of time to order! Yippee skip hooray.…

  • Hudson’s First Birthday

    August 30, 2018

    He’s one year old! I’m sure every new parent feels this way at his or her child’s birthday – but I don’t know where this year went. I remember those few moments before he was born and knew life was about to change; it’s similar to the same way I felt when Tyler & Emily walked into my apartment so I could meet them for the first time. The pitter patter of my heart was quick but so full of excitement, love, and joy! When deciding how to celebrate, I knew I wanted something intimate. There was a day back in February where I thought I might want to plan…

    July 10, 2018

    Happy July! I cannot believe we are over halfway through with 2018. Even crazier (well at least for me), I left my job more than 6 months ago. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how life would feel without a corporate gig – but looking back at all the blessings (and adventures) over this year, I am so grateful I took this leap. Thank you to you all for following along and supporting me through this journey! How did you celebrate the Fourth of July this year? I have always loved the Fourth of July – the colors, the sense of unity we have as a country, fireworks sparkling in the sky,…
