Get your DIY on this Christmas with these upcycled Holiday Character Light Bulb Ornaments. Choose from a snowman or penguin, or make both! Creating holiday ornaments doesn't have to be expensive, in fact, my favourite way is using the Three R's. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! Or a more trendy term I suppose is Upcycle. By saving old burnt out light bulbs and giving them a coat of paint, you can turn something that would otherwise go in the landfill a new life and a spot on … [Read more...]

If you love decorating with a rustic woodland theme, you'll have a lot of fun painting your own Wood Slice Ornaments. Once you have your wood slices cut from a branch and dried, painting scenes and characters are quick and easy and a whole lot of fun. I had my husband slice a fallen branch in our backyard and just laid out each piece over a heat register for a couple of days. You might also find slices ready to go from your local craft store. Wood Slice Ornaments I used … [Read more...]

These snowman gift pots are so easy the kids can do it! Teachers, Babysitters, Coaches, the Bus Driver....it can be really hard to come up with a gift for the holidays when you want to show your appreciation but you don't necessarily know the recipient that well. One thing we can probably all agree on is gift cards are always a win, but they just aren't all that personal. This holiday I painted up some adorable snowman gift pots from terra cotta pots to act as a really cute gift card … [Read more...]

Jell-O really stands the test of time, it's been around for years and years and everyone from babies to great grandparents love it. My parents still love those small town restaurants that offer jello or rice pudding for dessert and Grandma will add jello to just about every meal that the grandkids are attending. It's a win-win all around. The problem with Jello is it's, well, jiggly! It really needs to be served in a bowl or it will run all over your plate and it's impossible … [Read more...]

Every December parents of the internet start to grumble about the Elf On The Shelf. And look, I get it, some of you got stuck with some of Santa's naughty elves. It's a mystery to us why Santa would even allow such rotten eggs to visit your homes and we feel for you. Luckily, we were blessed with a nice elf and he's lovely. We welcome his appearance with open arms each holiday because he loves to play hide-and-go seek just like our boys do and he brings a few little treats for … [Read more...]

This Chocolate Peppermint Cookies recipe has been brought to you in partnership with Becel. I was compensated for this post; however, all opinions expressed here are my own. When I was a little girl I would always join my mom in the kitchen to bake with her, and today they are still some of my fondest childhood memories. Mom would carefully create her pie and cut off the extra dough she didn't need from the crust, handing over the pieces for my own mini pie with a jam center. I … [Read more...]
