I have a very sensitive nose. I’ve never been a huge perfume, candle, or air freshener person, that is until last fall.

One day we stopped by one of our friends house on our way back to North Carolina and I noticed that the most wonderful scent I’ve ever smelled in a home.

I remember asking her later what it was and she told me it was Yankee Candle’s Christmas Cookie candle. I’m not exactly sure why Christmas Cookie smells 100x better {or more pleasant} than any sugar cookie I’ve ever taken a whiff of, but it does, and I’m pretty sure anything we will ever call “home” – rental or property of our own – will forever smell like this candle. For me, something about it makes it feel more inviting and just like a home should feel, comfortable.

ps – If you come to our house and I forget to offer the cookies that you smell, don’t be disappointed. 🙂
