    Candy Cane Pretzels

    When it comes to Christmas goodies I’m a “no-fuss kinda gal”. Aside from Christmas cookies, you will mostly find simple holiday recipes with very few ingredients here, after all, with minimal ingredients there’s usually minimal expenses. Am I right?! That’s why I tend to stick with no-bake desserts – 3-4 ingredients are the norm, they’re quick, easy & freeze well for less on-hand temptations. Also, when the recipes are easy to mix up with different…

    Mastermind Toys 2016 Holiday Favourites #SoMuchWow + #Giveaway

    I’ve been an admirer of Mastermind Toys, a Canadian owned and operated toy store since I first started following them on Twitter a few years ago. When they first opened their doors in Manitoba last year, I just knew we had to visit so we could see what they offered in person – it’s now our favourite toy store to stop in and explore whenever we venture into the city…with or without the kids! CUSTOMER…

    Easy Snowman Cookie Cupcakes + #Giveaway #Netflixmas #StreamTeam

    I love to bake and I like to think I’m fairly good at it. I mean I’m the one everyone picks to do all of the baking at our family gatherings. Decorating…that’s an entirely different thing! Luckily, it doesn’t have to look good to taste good. So, what do I do when my kids want something fun looking, yummy tasting and not a Pinterest fail? I use the help of my friends Betty Crocker and…

    Giving K’NEX Building Sets This Christmas #HolidayGiftGuide

    Building sets seem to a boy’s best friend these days. It seems that there are so many different brands out there, even my local Walmart as a whole aisle devoted to these things. I get it, I mean it’s just like when I was younger and all I wanted to do was make jewelry, it was just my creative side trying to break free. To be honest I’m happy that my son loves just about…

    Colton’s Night Before Christmas from I See Me!

    Christmas Eve is fast approaching and I have our day all planned out; last minute shopping in the morning, baking and crafts in the afternoon, family movie time in the evening, followed by a reading of My Night Before Christmas, originally A Visit From St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore. Except our rendition will now, forever be known as Colton’s Night Before Christmas and be beautifull illustrated by Virginia Allyn. Thanks to I See Me!…

    Rocking Around The Christmas Tree With KIDZ BOP Christmas Wish List #HolidayGiftGuide

    A few nights ago we FINALLY put up our Christmas tree. In this house, the moment the tree STARTS to go up is the moment that Christmas music gets blasted from the speakers. I swear it is the best kind of motivation; you know all the classics so it’s not hard to sing along and when you’re singing a Christmas carol you don’t care what you sound like. I swear my neighbors probably thought that…
