The countdown to Christmas has begun and now is the time to pick up your holiday home decor and holiday gifts. For me personally, I am avoiding the offline retail stores as much as possible as I don’t feel like fighting for a parking spot nor standing in long checkout lines.
The majority of my holiday shopping is done online. I can find unique gifts and decor items at price points that I just love! I mean really, why go out and fight the nasty crowds if you don’t have to, right? Right!
Today I want to talk to all of you about HomenYard.com. We’ve been working with that company for almost a year now and have loved everything that I’ve ever gotten. If you are unfamiliar with them, they sell all kinds of home decor items, garden items, collectibles, holiday decor and of course…gifts for any occasion.
The company sent me their Angry Birds Christmas Stocking for this review and it is adorable! My 15 year old nephew loves the Angry Birds game and has several items that he has collected over the past 2 years. This is a stocking with the Kurt Adler Angry Birds plush head.
It is a really nice size and super soft! You can really stuff a lot of goodies inside it which is what I will be doing this year. I am going to load it up with items for my nephew and give it to him at Christmas!
This is an extremely well-made Christmas stocking that is trimmed up nicely with braided red cord that runs along the sides. There are 2 Angry Birds appliques that decorate the front of the stocking and on the top of the plush head is a hanging loop. You can hang it by the fireplace or place a suction cup on one of your windows and use it as a holiday window decoration. Cute, Cute, Cute!
Head on over to HomenYard and take a look around. It is a great store to pick up some holiday gifts and/or home decor items. You can also follow the company on Facebook so that you are up-to-date on new product arrivals and current sales specials.

Butternut Squash is one of those things that I wish was readily available in our area year round. We can easily find it September through February but other than that…it’s MIA from the Farmer’s Market scene.
One of the recipes that I like to make when I can obtain Butternut Squash is this easy-to-prepare casserole. I got this recipe many years ago and it’s been a family favorite since.
Baked Butternut Squash Casserole Recipe
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
5 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 cup cheese, shredded
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cream
2 1/4 cups bread cubes
salt and pepper to taste
Note: I like to combine shredded cheese together to use up what I have on hand. Often times it’s a combo of American, Parmesan and Mozzarella.
In a large bowl toss together the cubed butternut squash, melted butter, chopped onions, shredded cheese, milk and cream. Pour mixture into a glass baking dish (I use a 3 quart casserole dish but you could use a 2 quart one). Place cubed bread on top along with the salt and ground black pepper.
Place baking dish into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until done. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
