A real mom sharing real expereinces!
January is the month where so many of us are cleaning out, organizing and getting ready for the year ahead. After we get our rooms looking clean, don't we want them to smell nice too? Now, I know that there are a lot of very inexpensive air fresheners out there that work really well, but why not try to deodorize your home naturally? I bet you have almost all (if not all) of the items you'll need … [Read more...]
Cinnamon rolls are a Christmas morning staple at my house. The best part? With a little prep work the night before, you can have hot fresh cinnamon rolls and NOT get up at 4:00 am to get them! This is a new cinnamon roll dough recipe that I just tried from Money Saving Mom and loved it. They go together very quickly using the bread machine and then I'll show you how to shape them into a very fun … [Read more...]
Let me first say that these are not my own design, I saw them on Repeat Crafter Me the other day and since I had made the owl hats for my girls from her site, I knew these would be my next craft to tackle.

Well, except for being way more expensive per ounce than my beloved cinnamon/sugar mixture it also contained allspice and cloves- but I didn't think … [Read more...]
We are a pretzel lovin' house! Hard, soft, dipped in chocolate or jalapeno cheese sauce- we love them all. I have made pretzel buns for burgers many times, and I've used this same recipe for traditional large soft pretzels, but pretzel bites are relatively new to me. Since I'm always on the lookout for smaller, kid sized foods to serve to my girls for snacks and treats I was so excited when these … [Read more...]
Now that the long Thanksgiving weekend is over, Christmas becomes our new focus. Many people I know got their tree this weekend, so I though a fun Christmas tree decoration post would be a great idea for this week! With a few simple supplies that you probably already have around the house, you can make popcorn garland to adorn your tree. This really is a craft for the whole … [Read more...]
