How are you spreading a little holiday cheer this

How are you spreading a little holiday cheer this season? #ad One of our family’s favorite things to do is to put together special gifts for all the “helpers” in our lives. The people who do so much in the background, but who may not always get the recognition they deserve. This year we made it even easier with the help of @cherylscookies.

I got one of their large gift towers of cookies - because each Cheryl’s Cookie is individually wrapped, it made it so easy for us to split them up for multiple gifts. We paired some with gift cards for the kids’ teachers, put together a tin of cookies for our mail carrier, set up a treat cart for all the delivery drivers who stop by our house, and sent a box of cookies to the fire station (with a homemade card, of course). We’ve been doing this for a few years and it’s so fun when the kids come up with new ideas of people to gift a sweet treat to during the holidays.

What does giving mean to your family during the holiday season?

If you love pasta, stop what you’re doing right

If you love pasta, stop what you’re doing right now and order some Sfoglini pasta. #ad Trust me, it will instantly become a family favorite. Sfoglini pasta is made using organic durum semolina and other grains from North American farms to produce seasonal pasta throughout the year. They use bronze dies and plates to give the pasta a rough texture for the ultimate sauceability, and slow-dry it to preserve flavor and nutrients.

Their Cascatelli that I used in this recipe is thick + hearty and the shape really maximizes how much sauce you get in every bite. So delicious! Recipe is below - the red and green colors in this dish make it the perfect holiday side. Shop their holiday sales (link in bio):

Creamy Italian Sun-dried Tomato Pasta

- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 16 oz Sfoglini pasta
- 16 oz sun-dried tomatoes, drained and gently rinsed
- 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 shallots, diced
- 6 oz prosciutto, cut into small pieces
- 10 oz baby spinach
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 c chicken broth
- 2 c heavy cream
- 5 oz shredded Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp fresh thyme

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain + set aside. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the prosciutto until crispy, remove and set aside. Add mushrooms to the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Then add shallots and garlic. Cook until they soften. Season with salt and pepper, then add in sun-dried tomatoes.

Deglaze the pan with the broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. When the broth has significantly reduced, stir in the cream and thyme. Simmer for 4-5 min. Sprinkle in the cheese and stir to combine.

Add the spinach in batches, cooking just until wilted. Add in 3/4 of the prosciutto back into the pan, then mix in the pasta.

Sprinkle with remaining prosciutto when serving.

If you haven’t already tried @mochiringcolumbus

If you haven’t already tried @mochiringcolumbus in Kenny Centre Mall, you have to stop by and try their mochi donuts, grab a milk tea and get one of their Korean corn dogs. Mochi donuts are made with rice flour and are deliciously chewy and topped with unique flavors, like taro, black sesame and dragon fruit. And not only is the shape fun, but it makes it so easy to split and share with others so you can try all the different flavors.

Mochi Ring’s brown sugar black milk tea might be the best I’ve had in Columbus (but their sparkling lemonades are also fantastic of milk tea is not your thing). And if you’ve never had a Korean corn dog, you can choose either a beef hot dog, cheese, or a combination of the two and have it coated in crispy ramen, fried potatoes, or hot Cheetos. I had one with potatoes and dipped it in yum yum sauce and it was delish.

Can’t decide what to get? Here’s what we tried + loved:

🍩 Taro
🍩 Black sesame (a surprise favorite for the kids)
🍩 S’more
🍩 Cinnamon
🍩 Dragon Fruit
🍩 Strawberry
🍩 Peppermint (seasonal and it was one of our favorites)
🍩 Fruity pebbles
🌭 Potato corn dog (all beef)
🌭 Ramen corn dog (all cheese)
🌭 Potato corn dog (half and half)
🥔 Original tornado potato
🥔 Buffalo tornado potato
🧋 Strawberry milk tea
🧋 Strawberry sparkling lemonade
🧋 Mango fruit tea
🧋 Brown sugar black milk tea

📍 1144 Kenny Centre Mall, Columbus, OH

Spent most of the day shooting holiday content and

Spent most of the day shooting holiday content and setting up some decor in our home. I’m also in a baking mood, but that will have to wait a bit as we’re prepping for a kitchen project for next week. Any guesses on what we’ll be working on?

I love this wreath and garland 4-piece collection set from @kingofchristmas - definitely wish we had a mantel to display it on, but that’s probably next year’s project. It does look great here in our entryway, though! Now I just have to decide where to hang the wreath and whether I should add candles or bottle brush trees. What do you think?

It’s not too late to order your trees and decor from King of Christmas. Save up to 50% off for a limited time, plus $25 off orders $549 and up. Use code SEASON25. Shop here: https://www.kingofchristmas.com/WEARLOVEWANDERS

Here are two easy and creative gift wrapping ideas

Here are two easy and creative gift wrapping ideas for this holiday season! #sponsored @amgreetings is always my go to for cards for every occasion and they also have all the gift wrap, ribbon, balloons and more to make your celebration even more special. And if you’re looking for a fun way to up your gift wrapping game, try one of these ideas:

Angled pocket wrapping

Measure your wrapping paper to be 3x the width of your box, plus enough to wrap around the edges. Fold over one side over your box and secure it just over the edge. Take one corner of the other side and angle it down, with the straight edge against the box. Then take the free edge of the paper and wrap it around the front of the box. Fold down and secure the top and bottom of the wrapping paper like normal. Now you’ve made an angled pocket on the front of your gift! You can use this to place your card, a little greenery or anything else you’d like.

Small ribbon bow

Grab a coordinating ribbon to go with your gift wrap. Measure out 4-5 hand-widths of ribbon. Secure one end of the ribbon under your pinky and ring finger on your non-dominant hand. Make an L with your other fingers on that hand, wrap around the ribbon over, under and around until you’ve made 3-4 loops around each finger. Then wrap the free end of the ribbon around the back of your loops, around the front, and then tuck the working end through the other part of the ribbon so you can pull it tight. Trim the ends to even them out and attach them to your gift with hot glue.

You can find all the American Greetings cards and more this holiday season at a retailer near you!

Who’s ready for the holiday season?

Definitely ready for all the holiday shopping ahea

Definitely ready for all the holiday shopping ahead, how about you? #FableticsPartner Between Christmas gifts, Hannah’s birthday presents and all the things we need for the baby, I think date night this season will be spent running a lot of errands. Might as well be cute and comfy while we’re at it! @fabletics fall and holiday styles are so good. Lots of festive + holiday prints (styles for the whole family, even kids) and cozy layers. Jamie says their Don Trouser (classic fit) are officially the most comfortable pants he owns. And I’m still wearing my pre-pregnancy size (XL) in most of my Fabletics, including this houndstooth set.

I’ve been a Fabletics VIP member for almost 2 years and I can’t get enough of it. The clothes are so comfortable and make me feel amazing, plus you get 20-50% off everything always, inclusive sizing from XXS-4X and the membership is so flexible (skip any month you don’t need anything).

I got the sweetest name art prints from @namestori

I got the sweetest name art prints from @namestories this week. These are personalized name origin keepsakes designed to inspire and empower. Hannah’s had me read over hers several times already.

These name story prints are a great unique and meaningful gift for the holidays for a friend or family member, an upcoming baby shower, or anyone special. Name Stories has several colors to choose from and you can order just the print or have it framed. I opted for just the print and then picked up these floating frames at the store. Now I just have to decide where to hang them in the girls’ room.

Do you know the meaning behind your name?

It’s holiday card time! Seriously, one of my fav

It’s holiday card time! Seriously, one of my favorite things about this season is getting stacks of these in the mail from our friends and family around the world. We keep ours up all season long and I’ve always found it as a great reminder to how blessed our lives are. Our family’s holiday cards came in from @minted and I just love how they turned out! We even included a little baby announcement on the back for anyone who hasn’t heard our news yet.

I’ve been ordering our holiday cards from Minted for years - as a photographer, I always recommend them to my clients too. Why? Because their quality is incredible. Their cards are made with thick, high quality paper and have luxe customization options like hand-pressed foil accents and letterpress. Minted has so many designs to choose from that are designed by a community of independent artists from around the world and if you’re on top of your address game (which I am not, but maybe someday), they have free recipient address printing on your envelopes too!

Use the code WANDERHOLIDAY2024 for 20% off Minted’s stationary and gifts + free shipping (exclusions apply). The code is valid through 12/31!

Looking for a fun activity for your guest while yo

Looking for a fun activity for your guest while you finish up in the kitchen this holiday season? @ohiopoultry has the best idea - set them up with a DIY deviled egg bar! It will also save you time prepping them in advance, so a win all around.

Make your hard boiled eggs like usual, slice them in have and mix the yolks with your go-to deviled egg base recipe. Set out the egg halves, prepared filling, ziplock bags for the guests to use on their own eggs, and as many different toppings + inclusions you can think of. There’s always the standard pickles and bacon, but the possibilities are endless with multiple different cheeses, herbs, jams, and so much more. As a fun little bonus, set everyone up with their own mini charcuterie board too!

@ohiopoultry had us out for an evening to chat about all things eggs and we got to try out this DIY deviled egg bar ourselves. For mine, I went with an egg flight of pickles + bacon + hot honey, raspberry jam + bacon + dried cranberries + walnuts, and dill + tajin. So, so good!

Eggs are one of my favorite easy sources of protein and they’ve been so important to my diet this pregnancy because they’re a great source of choline, vitamins and other nutrients. What’s your favorite way to enjoy eggs?
