Disclosure: I received a gift card to facilitate this review post. All opinions are honest and are entirely my own. This year has been such a big year that I wanted to make sure I did something special for my mother-in-law and my stepmom who have helped us out so much. Mother’s Day, coming up [...]
Disclosure: I am a Hormel Extended Family blogger. As a HEF blogger I receive promotional items on occasion, no other compensation is provided. Easter dinner! I love the chaos that ensues when family gathers, the din of little cousins enjoying one another’s company (aka: running amok). This weekend we’re headed to Texas to celebrate [...]
I don’t know about you but I love to have people over for a party or celebration. And what else makes a party complete than the decorations! (Well, maybe some food too!) My baby just turned one last week. I knew I wanted to have our family over to celebrate and watch her dig into her [...]

I have a confession. Neither my husband nor I are great gift givers. Come Valentines Day we always write each other cards or letters full of romantic sentiment. But when it comes to finding great gifts both of us seem to fall short. Well, except for that time almost three years ago when I gave [...]
Do you remember the Halloween door wreath I made back in October? Well I had so much fun with it that I wanted to try and make a Valentines Day wreath just like it! But this time instead of using burlap I found some really cute tulle on sale at Hobby Lobby so I [...]

As a participant in HP’s Pin the [...]

As I’ve mentioned in my post about fun traditions to start during the holidays, this will be our first year celebrating Christmas at our own home. In years past we’ve gone to my parent’s house or to my in-laws’. This year we’ll be staying at our own home. Though we aren’t expecting any company, I [...]
During the holiday season it is so easy to get caught up in all that is commercial about Christmas. Shopping, buying gifts, receiving gifts, the rush to get the Christmas cards out in time. In the scope of our lives what will matter is the time we spent, the fun we had, and the memories [...]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. From the week before Thanksgiving to New Years day is my absolute favorite time of year!
