Ever since I was introduced to the new @nutpods To Ever since I was introduced to the new @nutpods Toffee Nut creamer, I’ve been making this banoffee protein smoothie almost DAILY!

Banoffee is a mix of flavors I fell in love with when I lived in England - toffee, banana, coffee - and this smoothie brings them together in one place in a healthy way! (Banoffee pie is the only other way I’ve had these flavors and it’s, um, NOT healthy 😆) 

All you need to do is eyeball these ingredients:
- iced coffee 
- @nutpods toffee nut creamer
- frozen banana slices 
- local honey of your choice of sweetener 
- unflavored protein powder
- sometimes I add ice but not always!

Hop on over to the link in @nutpods bio OR search for Toffee Nut Nutpods Creamer on Amazon to order! 

Have the best day! 🍌

🇮🇹 Tour de Italian Restaurants 2025 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 Tour de Italian Restaurants 2025 🇮🇹 is in the books! For some reason, a couple of years ago, we started this thing where we hit up as many local Italian restaurants as we can during the holiday season! This year we ate four fabulous meals at four of our favorites: @amerigo_restaurant, @fratesis_italian, @eatatceramis, and @tasteitaliankitchen! 

Not exactly sure where this tradition was born, but I think pairing red, white, and green Italian vibes with the Christmas season is a no brainer as a duo! 🤣

There are some local Italian greats we couldn’t make it to this year, but… there’s always restaurant tour 2026!🎄🥰💚🤍❤️

PRANK THANK YOU NOTES!! Send one (or two or three) PRANK THANK YOU NOTES!! Send one (or two or three) for a great cause! 

🎄 BACKGROUND: for the past several years, our church has given each kid in our children’s ministry $1 to multiply so we can give back to a great cause! My three combined their dollars and bought a few stamps. We already had the envelopes and cards! We will be able to buy more stamps the more we sell! Speaking of that…

🎄 the past two years, we have sent prank Christmas cards. But I couldn’t get my act together in time this year! So we are sending prank thank you notes instead! They’re $3 each and I’ll send them out the week after Christmas.

🎄 HOW TO SEND:
- pick a silly item from our list: bucket of dirt, pasta earrings, map of Kyrgyzstan, Donald Trump action figure, Peppa Pig neck tie, VCR, subscription to a paper clip of the month club, grocery store version of monopoly, or a miniature snoopy roller coaster! 

- DM me the name and address of the person you want to receive the card. Also send me your Venmo handle and I’ll send you a payment request! 

- your friend will get a note to the effect of, 
“Dear [friend], Thank you so much for the pasta earrings you gave me for Christmas! You know I love me some noodles and you know I just got my ears pierced! You’re so thoughtful. I can’t wait to see you at the reunion next month! Blessings, Candie McNerny”

🎄 You’ll sleep well knowing you’re delivering a laugh + a little honest confusion 🤣 ALL WHILE supporting In His Steps, which is a precious after school ministry in Canton that invests into every aspect of a growing student. They do great work! 

🎄 THANK YOU so much for your support and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

*let me know if you have any questions!*

And thank you @broadmoor.kids for fostering the fun! 🫶🥳

Got to do a fun Christmassy spread for my girl @jw Got to do a fun Christmassy spread for my girl @jwholmes412’s beautiful Christmas party last week! I love using reds and greens in a board, and loved the orange accents too! 

Jessica and her girls did pretty much all the other food by themselves and it was the most incredible spread! 

I hope Joy and Jesus are all up in your holiday this year! 🥰
