‘Tis the season for parties! I love being able to give the hostess of parties I’m invited to a little thank you gift and am always on the lookout for cute, easy, hostess gift ideas. The idea I’m sharing today would be a fun little gift for anytime you need to take a smaller, inexpensive…
I just wanted to pop in and tell you about my favorite online meal planning and grocery shopping subscription service. It’s called Plan to Eat and they’re running their once a year sale for 1/2 off! By the way, this is not a sponsored post, but there are affiliate links used. I just love Plan…
The Fall season is in full swing, it’s pumpkin mania everywhere, and I looove it! Today, I thought I’d share one of my favorite pumpkin recipes; this one is for the most delicious chocolate chip pumpkin muffins. But to tell you the truth, we eat these year-round. My kids LOVE them and ask for them…
My husband and I just returned from a vacation in a little slice of paradise…..Hawaii. Oahu, to be exact. It was our first time to visit Hawaii and it was stunning! When we left home, it was 4 degrees and we had 3 inches of snow and sleet on the ground. And some 8 hours…
My mom and I drove to the Tulsa Vintage Show this weekend. It was my first time to go to this particular show and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was great! Tons of booths with everything from chippy salvaged pieces to beautiful flow blue platters. There was also antique furniture, stuff found on…
My boys and I decided to bake some Valentine cookies today. I found this recipe in the bag with my cookie cutters. It was titled “The Best Sugar Cookies in the World”. I was thinking that with a title like that, these had to be good! I’m not sure who gave me this cookie recipe,…
In my humble opinion, yesterday was The. Worst. Super Bowl. Ever. (of course the Seahawks fans would probably disagree). I watched about an hour of it and got stressed out because the Broncos looked sooooo bad. So, what did I do? I went to the other room and turned on America’s Funniest Home Videos and…
I have a laminated calendar that I’ve used for years. I bought it at an office supply store and it’s very functional for me because it has large enough spaces to write in and it includes some lines at the bottom of the calendar to write in items for next month. It also has an…
I wanted to share a really cute craft that my boys and I did for Father’s Day. Now, I know that Dad’s day is already over for this year, but this glass etching technique could be used for other projects. We bought some glass beer mugs, some candy, and some marshmallows from Walmart. We also…
I’ve been on a blogging hiatus for the past few months while we’ve been remodeling. We had been planning on remodeling at some point, but when my husband’s uncle asked if he and his fiancé could get married at our house, it gave us the kick in the pants to go ahead and get it…
My house was egged…. Easter egged, that is! We found this sign in the front yard. I don’t know how well the writing on the sign will show up when I publish this, so if you can’t see it, it says: You have been egged!! There are 21 eggs hidden in your yard. Have…
This summer, I ran across this great little shop near La Jolla, California. They had some silver sea shells for sale (try saying that a few times fast!) and I decided to go home and try it out myself. I just used metallic silver spray paint and some flat rhinestones and pearls…
