I LOVE the fall. I Love the beautiful autumn leaves, and the nip in the air. I also LOVE the harvest: First, corn and berries, then peaches, cherries, and apples and then… FINALLY. The pumpkins. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies and bread…. I’ll take one or all of those anytime. HOWEVER, with that said […]
Christmas Light Basket
This picture does not do this basket justice. It really is beautiful. Beautiful, and super easy to make. This one took about forty five minutes. It would be a fabulous gift and would be a great addition to your Christmas decorations because it adds light and a festive atmosphere wherever you put it. It can […]
Ore oh’s
Looking for a quick and easy Christmas treat? These yummy dipped Oreos are a family favorite and an easy neighborhood gift. They look like they took all day to make and are ready in minutes. (I love to LOOK like I work harder than I do). These little gems are DELICIOUS and beautiful. No one […]
No Effort Halloween Treat
Whether you decide to lean on the healthy side, or not this Halloween, these little fangs will dress up the loneliest bagel or donut. You can go from a zero to a hero in a snap. Go to your local grocery or craft store and pick up some plastic fangs. We purchased 18 fangs for […]
April Fools
I had no clue that my daughter’s teacher had prepared her for April Fools day, so when she offered me a brownie, I gladly accepted. Little did I know I would be getting a brown “e”. I thought this was too cute, easy and clever not to share. You still have time to make brown “e’s” for dinner.
No Green Thumb Required
Spring has sprung and my kids have loved watching their world (the neighborhood) blossom and grow. They had an absolute blast making these charming little Easter grass baskets. Everyday they run downstairs to the kitchen window to check the progress the grass has made. And just like flowers, bringing the grass indoors adds to any room. […]
Shamrock Brownie Cut Outs
I pride myself on trying to be a fun person. That doesn’t mean that I’m fun all the time mind you. You catch me from Halloween to Christmas and I will be on my “A” game, but when it comes to the other holidays, I struggle. I was trying to decide what the equivalent of […]
Following a Rainbow Trail
Imagine coming home from an errand with your kiddos in the car… It’s March 17th. Wait. What the?…. Is that the end of a rainbow sticking out of your front door? Yes. Yep, that is definitely a rainbow! What’s going on here? You better be hopping out of that car to see what shenanigans have been going on while you were gone. […]
Top O’ The Mornin’ To Ya!
When my kiddies were small, a leprechaun used to come to our house and turn Cool Whip green! Our leprechaun left a container of Cool Whip on the counter while we were gone. Below you will find a note he left. It’s such a fun thing to do and the kids literally can’t believe their eyes. […]
Jolly Rancher Rainbow Pops
My mom used to make red-hot cinnamon suckers for our birthdays. She made one for each person in our class at school. Keep in mind, this was in the 60’s and 70″s when no one cared that your treats were homemade. Someone’s mom could have been making birthday cookies in a latrine with ten cats. We wouldn’t […]
