Are any of you as overwhelmed as I already am? And it isn’t even December, yet. With so much to do each day, meal prep often gets pushed to the bottom of my list. To top it off, I’ve been trying to start a new eating plan (a.k.a diet). (Who does that right before […]
Thanksgiving Table setting – Earthy and Green
November 4, 2011 by 12 Comments
I blogged about our 2010 Thanksgiving celebration last year, but not until I’m sure you had all moved on to Christmas, so I’m going to post it again. It was full of inexpensive DIY details. We were fortunate to get to spend Thanksgiving with much of my side of the family in Utah, this year. […]

Some of my most Pinned posts are the ones showing creative treats to take to school for hand out at birthdays. Like the juicebox robot, and my recent S’more printable. I’ve also had this #10 donut treat pinned numerous times. Lately, I’ve had several people request a printable topper that they can download and use […]

***This is a sponsored post*** I’m pretty brave about trying new projects…except when it comes to food. If a crafty project doesn’t look good, you can just keep tweaking it until it does. If you mess up dinner, it might just be ruined, and you might be hungry. So when the folks at Hunt’s asked […]

Christmas Breakfast
December 21, 2010 by 12 Comments
My sister sent out an SOS on Facebook asking for favorite Christmas breakfast traditions. Breakfast on Christmas morning can be tricky.
