Being a food blogger is a rewarding and at times frustrating business (especially for those of us that didn’t start out as food bloggers). A lot of work goes into setting up what can seem to be a simple shot – cooking, staging, lighting, adding props, keeping little hands out of the food before you…
Salted Maple Cashew Haystacks
There is something about traditional Butterscotch Haystacks that makes them a holiday favorite and therefore a staple in our home during the holidays. Can you get any better than delicious AND no-bake? They are on virtually every holiday platter – in the office, in a care package from grandma, and in our own baking and cookie-making. They…

25 Days of Christmas Books for Kids
One of my favorite traditions over the years has been spending the month of December reading Christmas books with the family. We have gathered a huge collection of Christmas stories over the years (two boxes full!). I am quick to grab any Christmas books that I see at used books stores or thrift stores (I’ve…
Halloween Books for Kids
One of my favorite things to do around each of the holidays throughout the year when my kids were little was to collect holiday-themed books to read. I always had my eyes open for used holiday books at the thrift store or used book store and, of course, we borrowed books from the library….

DIY St. Patrick’s Day Tissue Box Make-Over
I wish we didn’t need to use so many tissues this time of year…but it’s March and tissues just seem to be a fact of life right now. My resident crafter, Lisa, came up with the cutest way to make that boring tissue box a little more fun for St. Patrick’s Day with this…
Movies Set in Ireland For St. Patrick’s Day
My family and I love finding movies to help celebrate the holidays, but until this year we had never looked up any movies for St. Patrick’s Day. I grew up watching movies like Darby O’Gill and the Little People, but now that I’ve got teens and tweens in the house I thought it would…
Ringing in the New Year With Cousins #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
The holidays didn’t feel like the holidays until my family drove up to Pennsylvania for a last-minute New Year’s Day party with my sister’s family. We pulled together a silly gift exchange (with a couple of real gifts mixed in there, too), threw together a traditional taco dinner on the fly, and had a…
New Year’s Stained Glass Memory Jars #Craft
My 15-year-old daughter inspired me to make this craft after making her own Memory Jar for 2014, and I am so excited to start Memory Jars for the whole family for this coming year. It’s a perfect (and perfectly easy) craft for kids and adults alike. Each person, regardless of age, can decorate their…
