Shop Share- Ashlilium Reindeer Antlers 2018

November 30, 2018

Ho Ho How cute are these Reindeer Antlers from our favorite shop for headbands, Ashlilium.  They are just so festive! Everyday since Thanksgiving Hallie has been sporting them!

You might remember our Antlers from last year.  This year, shop owner Ashley has updated them to a sturdier headband and given them just a bit more sparkle! She also has a darling little Santa hat in the shop that will leave you swooning, along with many other dress up accessories! Hello Stocking! 

All of the items in Ashley’s shop are precious! We just love them! If your kiddos love dressing up as much as Hallie does, be sure to check out Ashley’s shop, Facebook and Instagram, and tell her we sent you!

Something magical happens at Christmas time.  Christmas carols are everywhere and lights turn on all around town.  In the Mock household we try and catch each and every Christmas special, and the books at bedtime are almost always Christmas tales. So today I am sharing some of our favorite Christmas books, we just can’t wait to cozy up and read!

1.Bear Stays up for Christmas / 2. The Jolly Christmas Postman / 3. Pick a Pine Tree / 4. Olivia Helps with Christmas /

5. Christmas in a Manger / 6. Pete the Cat Saves Christmas / 7. Snowmen at Christmas/

 8. Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas 

Hallie loves “The Jolly Christmas Postman.” It is full of games, puzzles and sweet surprises! It is sure to delight any child.  I can’t wait for Hallie’s elf Jovie to bring “Pick a Pine Tree” this year.  The illustrations are beautiful and the story is just precious! Do you have any favorites we should add to our reading list? Let me know in the comments.

Eat Like a Gilmore- Mocha Crunch Cream Cake

November 6, 2018

Lorelai Gilmore said it best, “If Eating Cake is Wrong, I don’t want to be right!” I learned a lot from the Gilmore Girls in the 7 incredible seasons, but most importantly, how to eat.  When Kristi Carlson announced the 2nd Eat Like a Gilmore Cookbook, Daily Cravings, I couldn’t wait to get cooking!

The 2nd official cookbook comes out today, November 6th, but author Kristi Carlson, was kind enough to share this recipe for the Mocha Crunch Cream Cake with me.  And oh my, let’s just say, she nailed it!

As an avid Gilmore fan, you’ll remember this cake from Season 2 Episode 3 “Red Light on the Wedding Night.” The episode opens with Lorelai and Rory taste testing cakes for Max and Lorelai’s wedding, at Weston’s.  Fran has a large assortment of cakes in front of the girls when Rory questions the morality of sampling wedding cakes at Weston’s when Sookie is making Lorelai’s Wedding cake.  Upon hearing Fran exclaim that she is bringing out a “Mocha Crunch Cream Cake” Rory abandons her ethics for the love of cake.  Who wouldn’t after tasting this cake?

The cake blends Lorelai and Rory’s 2 favorite things: Coffee and Chocolate into the most delectable and rich confection.  I may have slipped a bit with the coffee, but as Lorelai says.  “Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!” And she’s right, as a mom, can you really ever have enough?

This cake is so moist and creamy with just a hint of crunch thanks to the espresso. Kristi has mastered the Gilmore’s favorite foods and shares them with her readers in easy to follow instructions.  Now anyone can eat like a Gilmore.  Now, if only I had their metabolism!

To get this recipe along with almost 100 other recipe’s from the show, grab Kristi’s newest cookbook today!   I know I can’t wait to add it to my Christmas List! Which recipe are you anxious to try?
