All Things Life & Air Force Wife {Guest Post}

Today's guest post is from my adorable 'Spicy' sponsor Livia from All Things Life & Air Force Wife. Let's get in the holiday spirit and check out a few of her favorites! Don't forget to stop by her blog and give her some love!

I do a lot of “my favorites” posts on my own personal blog and was thinking, why should a guest post be any different? This is my absolute most favorite time of the year and that, combined with Pinterest, creates a long list of things to make (crafts or food), things that I want, and things that I must have. So here we go! 

1. Holiday Wreaths!

 I made this for my mother for fall and plan on attempting something similar for Christmas. Maybe some red and green garland woven in with ornaments? We will see. I love making my own decorations. It’s affordable and I get to make it exactly how I like it. 

2. Holiday flavored coffee creamers.

Peppermint Mocha and Pumpkin Pie Spice are the best! I wait all year for these to be back in the grocery store and then I stock up. As Lorelai Gilmore would say “I like coffee like I like breathing.” Hopefully you all got that reference! 

3. Winter Clothes!

Jeans, Sweaters, Boots, Scarves… I love them all. My latest must haves include a Fossil bag and Carlos Santana Boots.

4. Comfort Food

One could argue that this can be enjoyed at all different times of the year but I find that winter is when I am most craving mashed potatoes, pasta, among other amazing delicious recipes. My favorite by far has to be Parmesan Basil Orzo. I add a little bit of fresh garlic to kick the flavor up a notch! Find the recipe here. 

5. Family Time

This year is a little different for my husband and I. This is our first holiday being a military family and as fate would have it, we were stationed across the country from both of our families. We miss them greatly and it's hard being away this time of year but we are making the most of it together.
