I wasn't going to post today, but I was "practicing" for tomorrow and had to see if this layered drink would work. I'm happy to report that this was a success! I had so much fun putting this together, and to top it all off, it actually tastes good! :) … [Read more...]
I love holidays. Taking the time to set aside a day for celebration is part of what makes us human. It's definitely what makes me American! ;) Some of my favorite posts have been holiday themed recipes or decorating ideas. Scroll through to see great Christmas recipes, fall decor, Thanksgiving recipes, Valentine's Day treats and much, much more!
Some personal favorites for celebrating any holiday:
Day 292: Easter Bark
I'm getting so close to 300! There are some weeks that I have to go digging for something to blog about and then there are other times when I have a list of things waiting to share! I made this Easter Bark for a class activity on Saturday and it was a hit (well, at least with … [Read more...]
Day 275: Easter Candy Spring Centerpiece
One glance at the popular pins and boards on Pinterest will tell you that Spring is coming! I was feeling artsy/crafty this afternoon so I made a trip to the dollar store and spent about 30 minutes during Charlie's nap making this fun little centerpiece to help welcome Spring. … [Read more...]
Day 252: Valentine Compliments
Today's idea doesn't come from Pinterest, but I'm going to pin it to Pinterest because I thought it was such a great one. Bryce came home with an assignment last week to make Valentine's for his class. This is typical, as they don't want anyone to feel left out, so the teachers … [Read more...]
Day 197: Candy Serving Tray
I forgot about mine and it cooked a little too long, so the edges lost their definition and I made a little mess :/ Believe it or not, it really works! I thought this candy serving tray looked like a great idea, but it didn't seem like it could possibly be as easy as the … [Read more...]
Day 188: Gift Tags from Christmas Cards
This is the one time of year that I actually enjoy going to the mail box. There are so many beautiful cards coming in the mail or being handed to us in person in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Some of them are works of art and it seems a shame to throw them away when … [Read more...]
Day 165: Hand Print Turkey
It's the Monday before Thanksgiving! Did you get your turkey out of the freezer yet? If not, quick! Run to the freezer and toss that bird in the refrigerator! Thinking about turkey today reminded me of a cute pin that I saw last week for an easy craft that I'll actually save. … [Read more...]
Day 146: Our Thanksgiving Tree
In anticipation of November and a month's emphasis on thankfulness, I made a Thanksgiving tree yesterday. There are tons of pins on Pinterest with this concept. This is the one that I drew inspiration from. I was probably drawn to it because I have a wall next to my kitchen … [Read more...]
Day 145: Trick or Treater’s Lollipop Pumpkin
I saw this idea on Pinterest months ago, and made sure to pin it to my Fall board so I would remember this year. Because Halloween is on a Wednesday night, we will be at church instead of home to greet the annual trick-or-treaters. The last time that happened, I just left a … [Read more...]
Day 117: Fall Decor for a Tiny Front Porch
I have such grand schemes for my front porch when it comes time to decorate for Fall or Christmas. If you look at my Fall Board on Pinterest, it's covered with these beautiful pictures of entryways to houses at least five times the size of mine. I don't know why I think I can … [Read more...]
Day 112: Fall Mantel
I've been waiting for ages to get to blog about things from my "Fall" board! It's finally cooling off at night now, so I began to decorate for the season. (We have to decorate here in SoCal- otherwise we wouldn't ever see any changing leaves or signs of winter). I am really … [Read more...]
Day 106: Fall Paper Banner
I wasn't exactly sure what to call this. Paper banner? Garland? Hangy thing that looks cute? Either way, I can't take credit for this one. I was just smart enough to buy it at our last silent auction. However, it IS something simple enough to do and I have all the supplies so … [Read more...]
