New Year’s Eve, especially this year, is the perfect time to enjoy a small celebration at home. Look back on the past year and look ahead to the coming days of 2021. Though the festivities may be smaller this year, there are still plenty of options for New Year’s Eve appetizers and snacks to share….
When I think of New Year’s Eve parties of the past, champagne comes to mind more than the food offered. Champagne, or sparkling wine, is probably the food or drink that is most representative of New Year’s Eve. A few years ago, I created a food blog dedicated to eating the national food of the…
I’d imagine that this year, more than ever, the New Year’s Eve celebrations will be at home and they will likely involve children, so organizing some family-friendly activities will make this December 31st the most memorable day of the 2020 calendar year. I often consult with JT, my 8 year old son, when I have…

Who doesn’t love daily gifts during the holidays? One of my favorite ways to celebrate Christmas has always been the advent calendar. Growing up, we never had one, which isn’t much of a surprise considering my mom had four kids very close in age by the time she was 22 years old. I can only…
