Holidays

Making it through this year is as good a reason as any spread a little Holiday cheer! Right now I’m making small gifts like these Mint Filled Ornaments to give to delivery drivers, mail persons and friends for the holidays. I am planning to make plenty to go around because I know we all need …

Easter Egg Hunts are a big part of the Easter tradition in our household. What little kid doesn’t LOVE a good hide and seek game? We decided to upgrade our Easter Egg Hunt game this year and we had a Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt! This Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt was so …

Baths are usually reserved for my tiny humans, but that’s such a shame.  I love a nice long relaxing bath with all the bath salts and bubbles.  When I actually have the time to take a bath it’s like I am transported to another world.  That is, until our youngest son insists to poke his …

This post is sponsored by Red Baron but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. I love everything about the holidays and because of that I can only blame myself for being really busy and stressed.  What can I say?  It’s the most wonderful time of the year for me.  We try to …

Growing up, if there was one thing we could count on my mom making for her annual Christmas party, it was Chex Mix.  She always made it homemade and we loved to snack on it all night.  I definitely think of those Christmas parties when I’m eating Chex mix or really any snack mix.   Snack …

My children are little “fruity foodies”.  Provide them a fruit platter and they will devour it in a few minutes.  I don’t know how, but somehow I raised kids that would rather eat fruits over other desserts any day.   This Turkey Fruit Platter is an Easy Thanksgiving Fruit Tray that will please any fruit lover …

My toes go into hibernation once the temps are freezing and only start to recover in the spring.  My husband can confirm this because he sometimes touches my toes as he’s sleeping (haha).  They are basically icicle phalanges!  The only hope I have is a large stock of winter socks when the cold temps roll …

Cookies are a universally loved treat.  In fact, they are loved by both people and monsters (hello Cookie Monster).  We have a few cookie monsters in our own family for sure.  Plus, cookies are the preferred breakfast, lunch and dinner for Santa himself. So I am going to make a self declaration that this Christmas …

One of the first memories my husband and I made as a couple was carving out pumpkins for Halloween.  It’s now a fun family tradition and in the last 16 years we have carved out a whole lot of pumpkins!  My kids are getting older (pre-teen/teenage) and they’ve been asking for some more trendy designs …

This Valentine Gift Basket post is sponsored by Family Dollar.  The thoughts and opinions are all mine! The season of love is right around the corner.  If you know me, then you know how much I love Valentine’s Day.  I have a lot of reasons to love the season. My son was born on Valentine’s …

You don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day to spoil the ones that you love, but I do enjoy having a day set aside specifically for the occasion.   I still remember staying up all night the night before our school Valentine’s Day parties and making sure all the cards were sealed and the treats were …

My favorite holiday to make treats for is just around the corner… Valentine’s Day!!!  I like making treats for all holidays but Valentine’s Day is my tops because it’s everything girly, sweet and floral.  Plus all the little corny love notes that are spread around Valentine’s day are something I “heart” as well.  LOL Valentine …

When I was a little girl I loved to experiment in the kitchen with many baking projects.  I can’t say they were always tasty, but it was always fun!  My littlest daughter is really interested lately in helping me in the kitchen and even creating her own treats.  Her versions are always very interesting to …

These 7 Super Cute Valentines post is a sponsored post for Minted.com.  All opinions are my own! It’s about this time of year that the kids start to get antsy about figuring out what Valentines we are going to buy or make.  My kids homeschool, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t love passing out …
