About a week ago, as I was recovering from that nasty flu that hit ONLY me (I’m actually very grateful that no one else in my family came down with it), I decided that if I was going to enjoy this Christmas season at all, I would need to give in to it completely. So…not…
Homemade Caramels
The following is my most requested recipe of all time (on and off line). I’ve been helping to make these caramels since I was big enough to stand on a stool and stir with a big wooden spoon…and they are definitely request-worthy. Caramels are not easy. I won’t lie. They are also time consuming. But…
English Toffee – Grandma’s Recipe
It’s not really the holidays until I start making candies and cookies. If you’ve been following my Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter accounts, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been baking like crazy. This English Toffee is not only one of my favorite candies to eat, but it is full of good memories. Several years ago, I…
My Kids Have Two New Cousins #WW Wordless Wednesday
We have always lived pretty far away from most of our family, so the fact that my sister and her family have been living within 2 hours of us for the last few years has been a HUGE deal for us. My kids adore her two girls, and now that my sister has added two…
Reliving the Best Memories… @YesVideo $65 Giveaway
Christmas is approaching faster than I would like to admit. I’ve done a fair amount of shopping but I’m FAR from being finished. I don’t know where the month has gone! I was thinking about my mom all last week as I lay in my sick bed for days (isn’t it funny how we still…
Christmas Tree 2012 – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Our house finally looks like Christmas! It’s funny how things change as the kids get older. We used to gather all 5 kids in the minivan and head out to pick out the perfect tree together. Now? The older kids have homework and, frankly, no interest in heading out on a cold night to pick…
The 2012 Santa Hat Picture – Wordless Wednesday
We have a tradition around our house that the kids don’t exactly love, but which I know they’ll appreciate someday. I love seeing how much they change from year to year. This year, the Santa hats started getting a little bit small on some of the kids’ heads. In other news, I am sick as…
How to Create a Festive Facebook Cover Photo Collage with PicMonkey
As a photographer, I own and know how to use Photoshop….and yet when I want to make an image Pinterest-friendly by adding a title with fun fonts…or when I want to edit a photo while I’m on the road, I always turn to Picmonkey. In fact, I’m there almost every day. Why would I NOT…
SeaWorld Orlando – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
When I was in the early planning stages of our trip to Florida at Thanksgiving, I figured that our big theme park experience would be at Disney World. I mean….Orlando IS Disney, right? Strangely, as much as we are Disney fans, my kids had other things in mind. I guess for the teen crowd, Harry…
Remembering and Creating #HolidayMemories – #YesMemory Twitter Party Tonight!
I have many fond memories of holiday seasons form my childhood, though most holidays are blurred into one collective memory of late nights at Grandma’s house with cousins, music, and an abundance of good food. This is my mom’s family Christmas card, circa 1959. I love it! I remember sitting around the piano singing…
