Boy, this Monday is going to be a doozey. After 4 days of stuffing myself, visiting with family and shopping, the prospect of heading back to work is a daunting one. I hope that you each took some time off to relax and regenerate (maybe a little retail therapy?) this weekend. I had an amazingRead more
Today I want to share one of my favorite go-to holiday recipes. These spicy ginger snaps are filled with a sweet butterscotch and pumpkin filling, making a delicious Pumpkin Ginger Snap cookie. I usually pull this one out for work functions, or when I don’t have a lot of time, since they are delicious withRead more
Woot! Monday of a short week! Somehow, knowing that I will be with my extended family Thursday and Friday makes this Monday a lot easier to face. =D This weekend, I got a lot of stuff done. I finished my baking project for the Bake, Craft and Sew Along – you can see it nextRead more
I love Christmas!!! Really, that’s an understatement. Christmas time is hands down my favorite time of year. I love spending time with my family, I love to give gifts, and see smiles. I love to make great food and eat great food. I love to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Moreover I like winters inRead more

This is going to be one. Tough. Week. Firstly, we had an AMAZING time with the in laws for dinner on Saturday. Here you can see pictures and get my hubby’s famous recipe for Easier Than Pie Rolls.

Today I want to touch on something that is very dear to me, but I haven’t really shared yet on the blog. This wonderful blog community of friends, neighbors and wonderful ladies is my hobby, but The Salvation Army is my job. In February 2012 I was 2 weeks away from getting married, living inRead more
Whew! for most of the United States, its one blustery, windy and rainy Tuesday. For me at least, its just rain- maybe some snow later on. I can’t help but worry for and pray for all of those more impacted by Hurricane Sandy. I hope that all of you out there in the bloggosphere areRead more
Well, I did it! I got my whole house cleaned this weekend. Top to bottom, floors mopped, baseboards dusted, oven scrubbed, 8 loads of laundry done, even craft room tidied. How did I do it you ask? Well, I wore sweatpants and an old t shirt, ventured no where outside of the house, and didRead more
Last week, I had the AMAZING pleasure to guest post on SkipToMyLou. Cindy and her helper Laura are two amazing women. They are always a joy to work with. Today, I’m sharing that post with you all! There are some things you never outgrow. For some it’s tearing the crust off their bread or eatingRead more

But, such is life. I hope that you all were able to find some respite (and doRead more
