If you are looking for an inexpensive but creative custom look for your windows here is a great option. We have a wall of windows that I have let go without character for many months now.

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays since becoming a mom. I love to surprise them on the days up to Valentine's Day with fun crafts, little treats and things they just don't expect.

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...]
