Food Styling: Holiday Baking

With the holidays approaching at record speed, I always get asked if I’m hosting any of the big events. And the truth is, I don’t host a single occasion around the holidays. My mom and mother in law have it all covered (and then some). It’s amazing in so many ways - particularly with a little one - to not have to worry about the logistics of a big holiday gathering. However, I keep reminding myself that I am hosting the entire season for Henry. All the little moments that lead up to the big occasions. And that’s where the magic really lies.

I’m so looking forward to those moments. The messy kitchen. The flour party I’m sure I will instigate. Dance parties fueled by too many cookies. And since I couldn’t wait any longer and already started decorating (oops) - these super special little moments are already happening. His little eyes light up at every little change in the house - like he notices every detail (must be in the genes). Little does he know he’s giving me the greatest gift of all.
