This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

*Note: I’ve gotten mixed information on whether or not the Hershey Kisses Candy Cane Candies are gluten-free or not. I’m still trying to confirm one way or another. If you have gluten sensitivities, just stick with the cookie base and the frosting, those ARE gluten free!

It’s Christmas cookie time! How many of you have Christmas Cookie parties or deliver goodies to your friends and neighbors? Right now my kitchen counter is covered in cookies and bars and anything sweet. It’s very tempting. I always like to make a gluten free option for my GF friends (and me of course). Soooo, today I’m sharing a brand new recipe with you, Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies with Hershey's Kisses Candy Cane Candies - YUM! Look at these little bites of deliciousness! One, maybe two bites of that dark chocolate cookie mixed with a peppermint cream cheese frosting and Hershey’s Kisses Candy Cane Mint Candies on top. Seriously, these are SO good. gluten free Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

GF Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies BatterThe Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Cocoa really makes a big difference, it adds such a rich flavor! Dark Chocolate Bite CookiesThese cookies have such great texture, but I suggest flattening them with a glass before putting them in the oven. Cream Cheese Peppermint FrostingThe cream cheese frosting is such a great balance for the cookies. It is just the right pop of peppermint cheer! Hershey's Kisses Candy Cane

    Hershey’s does not consider their CANDY CANE KISSES to be Gluten Free! I think these cookies owuld be great w/ original milk chocolate kisses, which ARE gluten free.

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
