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…
Parfum Berger: The Perfect Holiday Gift #TMMHGG2015
The most wonderful time of year is here! Holiday baking, fresh Pine Christmas trees, wood burning in the fireplace…all of these smells remind me of the holidays. The only problems is…I don’t have a fireplace, my tree is fake and I’m such a procrastinator that most of my baking doesn’t get done until a few days before our festivities. I’m such a “weird-o”–this I’ve been told from numerous people who don’t understand my obsession–I HAVE…
9 Ways to Give Back During the Holidays
Every year, I say “This is the year we’re going to give back!”, than life takes control and BOOM…the holidays are over. Not this year! No way! This year we aren’t going to let time pass us by. As a family we will give back during the holidays while we spend time together, teach our children some new values and hopefully create family traditions that they will pass on to their children. I feel like…
The Mommy Mix 2015 Holiday Gift Guide #TMMHGG2015
Psst…Can I tell you a secret? I’ve started my Holiday shopping! Why is this a secret? Well, for starters the minute my kids get wind of it they’ll be snooping all over the place and with a tiny apartment I’ll run out of places to hide the presents. Even though I’ve so far only grabbed a few stocking stuffers, I’m still pretty proud of myself. You see, I’m THE biggest procrastinator when it comes to…
How to Create a Pamper Yourself Gift Basket
The first thing I do when I have even 5 minutes to myself is give myself a mini pamper session; a hot bubble bath, a polish touch-up, a quick spray of my favourite scent…all of these are not only ways that help me relax but they also make me feel better about myself when I’m feeling down. Who doesn’t like a little “me-time”? Pampering yourself, I’m sure you know can be ridiculously costly. This Pamper…
Ring In The New Year With Kids - 4 Easy & Inexpensive Ideas
Christmas is over and it’s time to start thinking about those New Year’s Eve festivities. I don’t know about you but I haven’t gone out or really done much of anything on this day for the last 7 years. Sure I’ve gone to my parent’s house but I mean in an “adult environment”, I’m talking champagne, dancing and a bunch of un-cohesive adults trying not to mess up on the countdown to a New Year.…
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…
