These are so fun and so easy. A wonderful combination during a busy time of the year. A friend shared a similar recipe on Facebook and said it was one of her favorites to make each year with her Mom. Think rice crispy treats meet corn flakes. Ta Da! Let’s Get Crafty! Ingredients: 1 bag…

Christmas Tree Craft
This tiny little foot is a reminder of how fast time flies. This is a craft using our Haley Bug’s feet while I have the help of my oldest kiddo who now has feet larger than me. Haley was super excited to put her feet in the paint. So much fun! Hope you have a…
Peanut Butter Blossoms
These are so good and a big favorite among our kiddos. These are the cookies of choice that we set out each year for Santa along with carrots for reindeer. This year Emily brought home a little packet of Reindeer Food from school that she said we should put out on our lawn on Christmas…
Pumpkin Seeds!
Our annual family time of carving pumpkins truly makes this Mama’s heart happy. I love that the kiddos pretend like they are going to be able to get the guts and seeds out without saying things like “Yuck!” and “Gross!” This year was especially fun because Connor carved his own Pumpkin for the first time. …
Do you plan to buy an extra ham while they are on sale? I do! Maybe two!
Ham is about to be on sale as Easter gets closer and closer. I came across this trick on Pinterest and just had to give it a try. It’s too easy not to share! All you do is dice up the ham and spread it out on a baking sheet. Put it in the freezer…
Cranberry Cake

Sweet Potato Casserole – Lightened Up!
Making sweet potato casserole this year was a first for me and I’m excited to share a lighter version from Cook the Story’s blog. There’s no butter or cream in this side and I felt like it had a lot of flavor and wasn’t missing anything. The secret weapon here is lowfat vanilla yogurt. Let’s…
Turkey For Christmas?
Our tradition growing up was having turkey for Thanksgiving and then ham for Christmas. I actually made this turkey the day after Thanksgiving but have been waiting to share it closer to another holiday where someone might be excited to see. I have a secret – I love roasting turkeys. Love it. When they are…
Turkey Fun!
Are you still looking for something to take or add to your Thanksgiving celebration? It doesn’t get much more fun or festive than making this little guy. This picture is a couple years old… but I just love it and had to share. My nieces and parents put this together. No fancy recipe here! Just…
We've Been Boo-ed!
Happy Halloween! I was able to sneak in some quick crafting on morning Sunday to get our neighbor surprises put together. This went into little fun baskets of Halloween goodies for two of our neighbors. It makes my heart happy to see how excited my son gets while trying to be sneaky during delivery. This…
