For over 3 years I’ve been a member of the Influenster team. For those who don’t know, Influenster pairs social influencers (bloggers, FB divas, Instagram superheroes, you!) with brands. They do this in a couple ways. First, there is a VAST database on the Influenster site that allows people to review products they’ve tried. Second,Read more
Anyone who knows me knows that I am particular about my gift wrapping. I like things to match, and I like them to have a distinct flair. I’m the one with the color coordinating bows, paper, ribbon and gift tags on Christmas morning. In fact, I have 5 different sets of Christmas ornaments, because IRead more
Whelp, I suppose it is time to spill the beans. Being an online personality is totally different than the way I interact with my in-real-life friends (not that I love you all any less!). I mean, if you and I had met at the water cooler today… you’d already know. Why? Because a 16 weekRead more
Happy November, y’all, it’s Danielle again from Busy Mom’s Helper! As shocked as I am that it’s already the holidays (denial might be the more appropriate word), I’m really excited for all the fun, beauty, and family time! Plus, once November hits it’s like MAJOR COOKING for two months straight…love it! One dish we triedRead more
I just can’t get enough of these little Thanksgiving Gift boxes. They’re the perfect size to treat the children in my family when I see them for the Holiday.

For those of you that don’t know, I’ve been creating printable planners since 2012. As interest has grown, I’ve devoted more time, polished the designs, and introduced more colors. The goal of the modular planner line is to allow each person to customize their own planner by mixing colors, add ons, and planner types. I amRead more
So, some of you may have noticed in posts like, DIY Marshmallow Creepers, Or How To Make Colored Sugar, or the most recent Caramel Apple Cider Donuts posts that I have a KitchenAid mixer. I love it. For years my holiday season, and every other desire to make things, has been made better by this amazingRead more
Apple Cider and Donuts go together for me. I have wonderful memories of fall trips to apple farms, celebrated by warm cider and fresh-from-the-fryer cinnamon donuts. I’m not sure if this combo is as popular in warmer states as it is here in apple-growing Michigan country, but it is a flavor that I crave when theRead more
So, I like Minecraft. You might has guessed as much after my DIY Creeper Peeps and Minecraft World Building Marshmallows. So it may not come as a surprise to you that one of our ideas for Halloween this year is to dress up like Steve (the player character) and a Creeper! So, I set to workRead more
Oh my goodness, where do I start? First off, I’ll tell you that Hamilton Beach sent me this amazing slow cooker a few weeks ago with hopes that I’d make something awesome in it. But of course, the opinions are all mine. I struggled for a bit because I’m not a food blogger and theRead more
Happy October, y’all! It’s Danielle again from Busy Mom’s Helper. Can you believe it’s already hitting the big holiday months? I sure can’t! I feel like I’m working hard, kickin’ butt all day long and still can’t quite get everything done. By mid-afternoon each day, I’m dragging, and need a really tasty pick-me-up snack. TheseRead more
Well, it is that time of year again. Suddenly the mornings are crisp and cool, the evenings are downright chilly and the smell of the air is no longer permeated by humidity, freshly cut grass or hot pavement. Instead there are aromas of crisp leaves, of cinnamon and apple. It is a new season. SomeRead more
