Holly’s Perfect Gingerbread Cookies

To me, life and its experiences have always been intrinsically tied to the food we create and consume together. Food has a way of wrapping around our hearts, stirring up magic, and unlocking memories. And have you noticed how everyone’s favorite recipe has a story? I always feel like it’s such a privilege to hear these stories from a dear friend or beloved family member while they’re cooking or serving the dish. So as a special holiday treat, I asked a few of the Behaviorists to share their own holiday stories along with a favorite recipe.

Holly’s going to kick things off this week. Read on to discover her recipe for the Perfect Gingerbread Cookies!

Holly’s DIY Ghost Tutorial

It’s no secret that yarn is my jam. And with both my wedding anniversary and my son’s birthday falling on October 31st, it’s no secret that Halloween is also my jam. So when I found out that my spooky yarn ghost DIY would be kicking off the month of October here at Model Behaviors, my head almost exploded.

Our inspirational word this month will be “explore,” and it gave this project the perfect direction. While I love to work with all different kinds of materials and techniques, I’m always looking for new ways to use some of my tried and true favorites. I chose to focus on exploring the possibilities with yarn this month. I use yarn nearly every day in some way or another, and I am still constantly finding new varieties, textures, and weights of yarn along with original ways to incorporate it into my pieces.

I also knew from the get-go that I would be using a piece of nature in this DIY, so I wanted to make a family affair of it and go on a little adventure to let the kiddos explore their surroundings and enjoy these first few days of fall weather we’ve had here in North Texas!

Staying Productive During the Holidays

With Halloween past and Thanksgiving looming around the corner, the holidays are no time to sit back and relax. At the same time, it’s way too easy to get sucked up in the mad rush of it all and forget the truly important things—family, friends, love, and decadent turkey feasts.
