Family Cookbook
I’m all over this idea of gifting a family cookbook. All over it. Anjali gave hers out as favors at her wedding, but I’m picturing a book full of my family’s favorite holiday recipes. Everything from main courses to cookies to the breakfast casserole we’ve eaten every Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. In fact, I think I’ll get started after the New Year of designing separate ones for both my dad’s and mom’s sides of the family. (via the kitchn)

My fiance’s grandpa passed away last year. he used to crack a bunch of walnut shells every year. Last spring his wife (my fiance’s grandma) gave me a hue tupperware container full of perfectly cracked walnut shells. I made her, my fiance’s parents and brother a wreath made of the shells. I love the significance they hold.
