🎄CHRISTMAS BEDDING🎄

My husband and I watched the Lindsey Lohan Christmas Movie on Netflix the other night and it was SO cute!

It inspired me to make my bedroom look cute and cozy like the adorable little Lodge in the movie! I love how it turned out!

These flannel sheets are the SOFTEST things I have ever owned. Even my husband commenting on them and how hard it would be to get out of bed in the morning! 😂

The truth is, winter is hard for me. It’s my least favorite season, aside from the Holidays, so I find joy in the little things like super soft and cozy bedding and warm twinkle lights.

I loved this sweater from the second I saw it! It is so versatile. I paired it with my faux leather pants and booties this past weekend for a fun and cozy date night outfit. The pants are surprisingly warm.

You can also pair them with some dressy flats for a work appropriate look!

Which shoes do you prefer?

These animal print flats are a total dupe for my Rothy’s and are under $30! Say what?!

🏈SUNDAY FUNDAY🏈 🏈Now that is getting chi

🏈SUNDAY FUNDAY🏈

🏈Now that is getting chillier and darker sooner, I have really been utilizing my new kitchen a lot more.

🏈My one request, when I met with @adu_your_appliance_source for my new appliances, was an oven that had an air fryer feature!

🏈My boys LOVE chicken wings football Sunday and I love air frying as a healthy alternative to the traditional method. However, my old countertop air fryer would only let me fry 6-8 wings at a time, so you can imagine how long it would take to feed 2 hungry teenagers and my husband.

🏈Enter, my new @geappliances café oven that does many fancy things, including air frying. I can make up to 40 wings at a time and they are a total crowd pleaser!

🏈My husband was a good sport in letting me film him making his famous Old Bay wings. I am not sure what he loves more, making them or eating them!

🏈Here is his recipe. Let me know if you give it a try!

OLD BAY WINGS
Ingredients:

2 pounds chicken wings
2 tablespoons Old Bay
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup cornstarch

Directions:

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees

Place chicken wings in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons Old Bay® seasoning and black pepper. Add cornstarch and toss wings until fully coated. Shake each wing and place on a foil lined cookie sheet sprayed with canola oil, making sure they are not touching; spray tips with cooking oil. 
Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Flip wings over and fry until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 8 to 10 more minutes. We like them crispy so we leave them in longer.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. We like ranch! Happy Sunday!

✨KITCHEN GLOW UP✨

🐶I am so excited to share Maisy’s first official collaboration. [#gifted]

🐶I absolutely love my new mat and set of dog bowls from @trough_pets.
They are made of 100% food grade silicone and match my new kitchen perfectly!

🐶I bought a pretty acrylic dog bowl after my remodel, but Maisy is quite a picky little pup and did not like how the metal bowls banged against the acrylic so we had to go back to this ugly plastic one!

🐶I am so happy to have discovered @trough_pets. Their bowls come in lots of colors and several sizes to choose from and now we are both happy campers!

🐶Check out their website
troughpets.com
to place your order!

🐶You will love them and they make a great gift, too! 🐶❤️

🐶Head to my stories for a personal little back story on this company!

❄️THE SOFTEST SWEATER❄️

❄️This is the sweater I have been teaching for the most this season!
The only sweaters I buy anymore have to be super soft and snuggly. I don’t have time for itchy and uncomfortable clothing and this sweater is insanely soft and cozy.

❄️I love it with jeans, but it also looks super cute as a layer over dresses and tank tops and is the perfect topper for a flowy skirt.

❄️Slightly cropped and fall perfection! It goes perfectly with my new jeans from @motherdenim and the length is perfect for pairing with booties!

❄️Happy Thursday
