Valentine’s day is one of those weird holidays. For the serious, romantically-inclined, it is a day to be revered, honored, orchestrated and executed with precision. For the less romantic…dare I say, less sappy?…it is a day to simply do something nice for the person we love and admire. Well, for me that person is my […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – ALL over my house! Saturday, I was child-free for 6 hours!!! So, I pulled out my Christmas “To Do List” and got busy. By the time the kids got home, cookies were in the oven, my peanut butter balls were almost finished, my house was spic-n-span, […]
We lost a box of ornaments. It got swallowed by the vortex in our attic. What to do??!!! Well, I came across some super fun, really easy crafts. Once I got started, it was pretty simple. The first, I found on this site: Soda Can Reindeer http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf42833752.tip.html I did things a little different. Here is […]
Ugh! It’s been a CRAZY last week! Sorry to miss out on posting. But, I am back and ready to share some fun/ creative Sweet Treat Swap ideas! Here’s one of my little sister’s (Krysti) holiday favorites! Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there who might try this! Have a great day. *Tomorrow’s post […]
Well this is shaping up to be a crazy week! I am sure that I am not the only one feeling the same way! There is shopping to be done, lists to be made, trees to buy and a plethora of other things to occupy every minute of our day! But, that doesn’t change the […]
Well, hopefully everyone survived the Thanksgiving turkey-o-thon! We had a great time with our family, and the kids were super excited to eat as much dessert as they could fit in their little bellies. I’m a firm believer in letting the kids have treats on holidays. Sarayah had 3 plates of whipped cream and Aidan […]
Harrison Ford is an icon. His performances as Indiana Jones solidified him as such. There’s no arguing with that. His sun-weathered abs and mysterious chin scar, make him an even more delectable treat for the eyes. But, he’s got nothing on my Upside Down Apple Almond pie. From the rich caramel rivulets of gooey goodness, […]
I looked at my calendar today and realized Thanksgiving is next week! Holy cow!!! This month has flown right by me! We are having Thanksgiving with my in-laws and I always enjoy cooking with Lisa and helping out. There is nothing worse than your guests sitting around waiting, with nothing to munch on! Avoid the […]
We are sick. As a matter of fact, we have been sick for a week. It’s one of the many joys of having kids. Think of them as dirt magnets. They attract every germ in a hundred mile radius and polite as always, they share them with me! Lovely little stinkers. It’s hard to get […]
The weekend is coming! The weekend is coming! YAY!!!! Let’s take a night off. But, then will we eat? How about we throw some things in a crock pot and go out for coffee and muffins! Whether you save this for game day or make it for dinner tonight, it’s always nice to get some […]
