Featurekins // A Christmas Dream, And How it Came True

By Leslie Schor, Senior Fashion Editor Leave a Comment

From our happy home
Through the world we roam
One week in all the year,
Making winter spring
With the joy we bring
For Christmas-tide is here.

Now the eastern star
Shines from afar
To light the poorest home;
Hearts warmer grow,
Gifts freely flow,
For Christmas-tide has come.

Now gay trees rise
Before young eyes,
Abloom with tempting cheer;
Blithe voices sing,
And blithe bells ring,
For Christmas-tide is here.

Oh, happy chime,
Oh, blessed time,
That draws us all so near!
“Welcome, dear day,”
All creatures say,
For Christmas-tide is here.

-Louisa May Alcott

Luvkins // Christmas Stockings

By Debbie Jovel, Contributor Leave a Comment

“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, …..”

I can hardly believe the holiday season is here which means that it’s almost time to decorate your home with Twinkle Lights, Snow Globes, Christmas Stockings, a Christmas Tree and other Holiday Decor. I love that there are so many options in Holiday Decor. I especially like all the unique and fun Christmas Stockings. My favorite Christmas Stockings for babiekins are woodland animals and ones with pom poms or tassels. With Christmas Stockings as cute as these, your babiekins will be as excited about their very special Stocking as they are about the treats inside it on Christmas morning.

Foodkins // Holiday Traditions and Creamy Coffee Flan with Nestlé

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief 2 Comments

Flan is a traditional dessert that my family makes every year around the holidays. It is a tradition to gather around the table and talk about all our wishes and dreams for the upcoming year and to reflect on the the blessings and sometimes hardships we endured together.

In Brasil, it is custom to celebrate Christmas on the 24th all the way through the 25th. We usually gather grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles, cousins and family from near and far to laugh, celebrate and to eat together.

This year we will be making one of our favorite flan recipes – creamy coffee flan! I hope you make this with your loved ones and enjoy the sweet and creamy taste of this savory dessert.

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Nestlé. All opinions are 100% our own. #JuntosConNestlé

Creamy Coffee Flan

Caramel Sauce

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup water (optional)

Flan

1 can of La Lechera sweetened condensed milk

1 can of Nestlé Carnation evaporated milk

4 Tsp. of Nescafé

10 egg yolks

Preheat oven to 400°F.

For the caramel sauce:

Place sugar and water into a medium sized saucepan. Let the sugar and water heat up on medium heat. As soon as the sugar starts to dissolve, gently mix it so the sugar doesn’t burn.

Once the sugar has dissolved, the sugar mix will turn into a dark caramel color. Remove from heat and carefully pour into a flan baking pan or 6 small baking dishes. Set aside.

For flan:

In a small bowl, combine your Nescafé and a can of Nestlé Carnation evaporated milk. Mix together and put aside.

In another bowl, whisk together 10 egg yolks and then add a can of La Lechera sweetened condensed milk. Mix together.

Now combine all the ingredients together (Nescafé, evaporated milk, egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk). Mix together.

Pour the flan into your flan pan or baking dishes.

Take a casserole dish and place 2 inches of water in it. Now place your flan pan or baking dishes in the casserole dish.

This creates a water bath and the steam from the water is what cooks your flan!

Place your flan in the oven for 45 min. Take out the flan and insert a knife trough the middle. When the knife comes out clean your flan is perfect!

Let cool (we love to eat flan cold) and serve!

You can find all the ingredients to make this delicious creamy coffee flan at your local Walmart!

With the holiday season in full swing you cannot get enough inspiration on how to decorate your home, right? I’m honored Babiekins asked me to share mine.

I’m all into a simple but sophisticated, warm Christmas. I love white, some black and gold for my decorations. This year I choose to combine white, black and gold with more natural items and add some greenery and marble. Normally we like to have a traditional Christmas tree, but living in Dubai made me look for an alternative: the printed- fabric “tree” from Ikea (www.ikea.com ) and the wooden branches (DIY). Which are both fun and simple alternatives. The fairy lights have been a staple in our home for a couple of years. This time, I choose to hang them as a cluster on the cabinet. The lights shining on old cabinet are great at night. They bring an extra glimmer to the room.

A marble vase holds a bunch of candles and can work beyond the holidays as a traditional vase. Just like the succulents balls, which are very festive in the combination with the little trees on the tray and candles. These also work great after the holidays to get the house a little bit more green.
I really like how the poms poms add a playful effect and some color to the simple wooden branch Christmas tree.
