Kickstart 2018 With These Printables

In Cooking & Crafting by Jen

Wow! Was 2017 a doozie or what?! Do people even use the word doozie anymore? I could use a few other descriptor words for 2017, but because my family reads this blog I shouldn’t.

Easy Chocolate Peppermint Bark Donuts

In Cooking & Crafting by Jen

If I were given my own cooking show it would probably closely resemble something like what Sandra Lee, the semi-homemade guru lady does. I enjoy cooking, but mostly I enjoy finding time to shorten the cooking process so I can get to my real love, eating the food! If there are more than a dozen steps involved in a recipe, …

Why There’s An Elf In Our Home During Christmas

In Motherhood, Parenting by Jen

Many years ago my sister in law gifted us a Christopher Popinkins elf. At the time my oldest was a young 3-year-old, and we didn’t have very many established traditions. So we read the book together as a family and happily had Christopher join us during the holidays. At this time the Elf on the Shelf craze hadn’t really set in, …
