links i love. {born to travel}

photo from this article

i often see tons and tons of people sharing links to articles on their facebook pages. most of the time, i simply keep scrolling through my feed, never really stopping to even read them. however, a few weeks ago, i saw one that really stuck out to me. the article was titled: 17 signs you were born to travel. out of curiosity, i clicked the link and was pleasantly surprised with what i found. the article definitely made me smile, as i could really connect with everything they included on their list. 

i immediately shared it with mary grace, and knew i wanted to share it on here, too. it definitely goes along with the theme of our blog so i thought it would help bring a smile and inspire some wanderlust to our readers, just like it did to me. 

have a great day! 

xo, caroline. 

my favorite chocolate chip cookies.

i never realized a lot of the things i would miss when i went away to college. i'm not sure if it was christmas time, the stress of studying for exams, or the combination of both (most likely), but all i wanted last week was a homemade cookie. 

upon arriving at home, i made it my mission to get to making christmas cookies as soon as possible. the first ones i made were the never-failing, classic chocolate chip. i use this recipe, because in my opinion, it always creates the best results. an added plus- the smell of these cookies baking in the oven around christmas beats any holiday candle.

this recipe makes a lot of cookies! plenty to share.

ta-da! they taste even better while they're still warm! 

what are your favorite holiday cookies?

happy baking!
