tis’ the season for twinkle lights, snowball fights, and festive bites.
Courtney here — every holiday season I make a new batch of holiday cookies, and for the past three years, I’ve done trees.
there’s something about them that is so whimsical to me, and so many possibilities when it comes to decorating (one year I made them all pink!).

Courtney here — and today I’m making small-batch pumpkin cake bars with cream cheese frosting. 2020 has been the year of small-batch desserts for me.

Read Moreclearly we're in full on holiday mode over here at WTD, and that means our calendar is quickly filling up with festive parties and sparkly soirées. i'm a huge fan of holiday party season because it's a great excuse to buy a new dress with sequins on it, wear a red lip, and rock a cool hairstyle that might feel too aggressive at a boring different time of year party. so we rounded up four of our fave ways to get creative with your waves this month.
