One of my favorite drinks of all time is hot cocoa. It’s perfect all year long, if you ask me, but when it really shines, is the holiday season. Packaged cocoas range from watery brown slightly sweet concoctions to one of the most delicious things you’ve ever tasted. Looking for consistency? Why not try making your own hot cocoa mix.

Halloween Decorating With White Pumpkins

White pumpkins started showing up in force several years ago. I have to say, I love them! While they vary in their color from very white to almost a creamy yellow, white pumpkins have a great traditional round pumpkin shape.

Fall Dishtowels

OK, I'm really not a person who gets into theme decorating. Cute little Easter bunnies and spooky witches have their place, but in my holiday decor. That being said...I am certainly not against decorating your house appropriately for holidays. While browsing the internet I came across these cute leaf print hand towels at Crate and Barrel. They are perfect for fall. Trendy, obviously seasonal, but sophisticated. You don't want to beat your guests over the head with your decorating. These towels are subtle, yet still show that you welcome the season and are open to a little whimsy in your life.

Why not be ready for such an occasion by keeping some new Starbucks Via instant coffee in your pantry.
