I will be the first to admit, I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I love it so much that we have 4 Christmas trees (plus a Charlie Brown one). We have one set up in our family room, living room and in each of the girls rooms AND I will have to get another one by next Christmas […]

This craft was so fun to make! I found the idea here. I think what made it so fun was that we got to hunt down some of mother nature at its finest. Fall is so beautiful here in Virginia. We went on a little hunt for all the turkey’s feathers. Ella (3) was really […]

I promise if you take it to your next get together that it will be all gone! Here’s the recipe: Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup […]

If you’ve ever been on a cruise, it’s so fun coming back to your room after they’ve made it up each evening to see what towel animal you get. Well, I came home and was dying to know how they made some of the animals and thought it would be cute to have a surprise […]

Wait for it, wait for it….. It’s a ketchup packet! They work perfect. It doesn’t completely freeze so you can still squish it around and mold it to their boo boo. Look at my sweet one being the model. Thanks Parenting Magazine for the tip found here.
