This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of MARS®. The opinions and text are all mine. The holidays are approaching fast. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it. It’s officially baking season! My family and I have a few holiday-favorites that we bake together every year, but I’m…
Monster Favor Boxes and More from Minted
This fun Halloween-themed craft idea is brought to you by Minted, but all thoughts are my own. You probably know Minted.com for their stunning and unique holiday cards, but did you know that they have a blog featuring all sorts of crafts and projects, too? Julep, the official blog of Minted (get it? mint…
Sea Salt Caramel Bars
I had company over for dinner the other night, and wanted to make an easy – and new – dessert for after the meal. I had all the ingredients out for S’mores Bars, but realized at the last moment that I didn’t have enough chocolate…so I turned to another recipe that I had been wanting…
The 2012 Christmas Morning Photo – Wordless Wednesday
Merry Christmas! Our holiday has been incredible, from the Christmas morning photo tradition in front of the Christmas tree WITHOUT complaint to the millions of hugs and kisses and Thank Yous from the kids. I even got a Christmas afternoon nap. That’s the best present ever for a mom, don’t you think? Linked up to…
Wrapping. And Wrapping. And Wrapping
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…
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…
How to Teach Children Values – Compassion, Kindness, and Generosity #OCCGiving
Teaching children to be kind, compassionate, and generous is neither easy nor quick. Values such as generosity and compassion aren’t learned overnight. Every Sunday I am reminded just how tricky it is to teach children values. My 7 year old son rushes into my classroom, where I teach the 3 year olds at church. After…
