  • Need a recipe that checks all the boxes for Valentine's Day? These Heart-Shaped Brown Sugar Palmiers do just that. Two ingredients, easy, tasty and kid-friendly. My son calls this treat, using only brown sugar and puff pastry, snail cookies, which is totally appropriate and seriously so cute! But even the adults won't be able to resist the crunchy caramelized brown sugar and the light crisp bite of the pastry.

  • Are these A. Holiday sweets or B. everyday treats? Trick question, they're both. Perfectly nostalgic over the holidays but also have a place in the cookie jar any time of year. Peanut butter cookies get stuffed with a rich peanut butter cup (like Reese's). The combination is classic! And regardless of when you bake this easy recipe, you really can't go wrong. In fact, make them for both. Can we really ever have too much peanut butter and chocolate in our lives?

    Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

    Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are a total classic. A recipe that always shows up at Christmas. Not that it's only good for the holidays. It's perfect all year round, but I'm feeling very holiday-ish at the moment. I'm not sure why, but this year I am so ready for all things Christmas! It's the beginning of November and I want to put up the stockings and literally deck the halls. Does this ring any bells for you?

    Quick Wooden Toy Box Makeover

    When I was first pregnant with our oldest, I had all these dreams of the cutest nursery. We went with a wilderness theme. I framed four big pictures of wildlife: a deer, a fox, a bear and an owl. We bought a few shelves to hang on the wall for books and then we needed something to house Ben's toys. I found these wood crates at Michaels and knew they'd be perfect for a Quick Wooden Toy Box Makeover

  • Bunny Binoculars are a super cute, super easy craft, perfect for your little ones to participate in. Let your kids use these adorable homemade binoculars to hunt for eggs this Easter.

    Bunny Binoculars

    I have been saving empty toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls and egg cartons for sometime now. Not with any particular craft in mind, but knowing that they may come in handy, one day. I had two empty toilet paper rolls on the countertop, in our washroom, and my son instinctively grabbed these and put them up to his eyes and told me he could see me. We laughed together and played I see you, for the next few minutes. Since then, I've been thinking we really needed to make some binoculars and with Easter a few weeks away, Bunny Binoculars…

    It's been raining the entire week, here in Georgia. I don't mind a nice rainy evening here or there, but I'm over it. Ben wants to go outside, I'm ready for some sunshine and fresh air. Frankly, we're all a little bored, stuck inside. That's until, my girlfriend mentioned she had made playdough this past weekend, and a light bulb went off!

    Valentine's Day is right around the corner and falls on a Friday this year. How fun.

So, we'll oblige and make them again for Valentine's Day.

    Easy Sprinkle Birthday Gift Tags

    You guys, I’m already thinking about the holidays. My son and I were busy making Christmas gift tags a couple days ago. I don’t have any decorations up or gifts bought as of yet, but I’m itching to get started. I try to wait until thanksgiving before I start decorating, but with the cooler air rolling in, I’m getting antsy. Last week, my son and I started on Christmas preparations in other ways—gift tags. While prepping our work space (the kitchen table) with stuff to make Christmas tags, my son was busy rummaging around in the pantry. An activity he loves and…
