Alright, so I know you are all clever and probably have been doing this for years! But this is the first year we have tried using Jolly Ranchers to make Stained Glass Gingerbread Cookies and they turned out super cute. Simple to do. Crush the Jolly Ranchers. Cut holes into your gingerbread cookies where you […]
During our night out at Thanksgiving Point the lady at the floral section of the Emporium showed us a great holiday gift idea. I think this would be an awesome gift for a teacher, extended family member, neighbor, or small gift exchange. These are pictures of the 30 I made at my house yesterday for neighbor […]
Well, let’s be honest. This is probably very Americanized Korean food but either way, it is oh-so-good. Since I was a little gal my mom has made this every year around holiday time (my dad went on a mission to South Korea for the Mormon Church). Do you like to do a culture themed party […]
This is my first attempt at candy making or peanut butter cup making. I had to do it twice to figure it out. Who knew candy making was so tough and precise? And that you can’t chat to your husband or mom and let anything go one degree over…I now know. Homemade Peanut Butter Cups […]

Well somehow I have raised girls that are obsessed with Halloween. Sure, it’s a fun holiday and I like celebrating it but it isn’t one of my favorites. But for THEM, it is! How many times a day do you think I listen to Monster Mash? Just take a wild guess! That will be why we […]
Cameron’s birthday was a bit different this year. I decided to do her first “friend party” and, of course, went overboard by inviting 24 children (I know, what can I say). We didn’t keep our tradition of visiting a farm or pumpkin patch or corn maze this weekend, so we are going to do that […]
Baby sister is having a BABY, my first nephew/niece (its a boy, Mason) on my side of the family and so it was baby shower time! She had two friend baby showers but my mom, sister Laura and I wanted to throw her a “family” shower along with a handful of friends that lived down […]
The girls wanted to throw a tea party over the summer with their neighborhood friends and, of course, I said we shall! I mean, how do you say no to requests like that? The night before the party, Abby and I sat down to think of what we were going to do and we decided […]
Distance for Davis Fundraiser in Davis County, Utah. 58% of my readers live in Utah and so I hope that some of you can make it! Just click on the graphic below to be taken to the official site. In March 2010, Davis, a 14-year-old Kaysville Junior High School Student, contracted a random virus that […]
