Now that little man is getting older, he appreciates the little things more. I’ve noticed it mostly since Christmastime. He’s at the age where everything is new and exciting. So, I thought it would be fun to create a custom Easter basket for him this year. Though, I must admit that I haven’t gotten around [...]

I am so sorry I missed Saturday Special this week, guys. We have been incredibly busy as a family lately. Since the husband works at a church, Easter is one of his busiest times, not to mention is a huge family and crafting holiday, which makes me a busy bee around the house, too. Basically [...]

With St. Patrick’s day coming up soon, I can’t help but notice the abundance of Shamrock Shake recipes popping up. I’ve never actually had a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake, nor do I enjoy most minty concoctions. Mint chocolate chip? No thanks! But I didn’t want to feel left out of the St. Patty’s shake craze, so [...]

I have a confession to make… I am a cheesecake snob. *whew* it’s good to have that off my chest! When the husband and I started our low-carb diet, I told myself that it would be the end of all things delicious. And then I found a low-carb cheesecake recipe. My heart sang and I [...]

Advent Activities Calendar

This year I have decided not to have an advent calendar with candy. As much as I absolutely love getting a little chocolate every day, I thought the little man would really enjoy taking part in an assortment of winter & Christmas activities! It was hard to decide what method I wanted to use. We [...]
