Christmas Spritz Butter Cookies
 My cookie press broke after last year so I purchased a new one and WOAH. A good cookie press makes such a difference! The other one I had worked ok and lasted 8 years, but I seemed to have more issues with mis-shaped cookies and the trigger sticking. Not anymore. We pressed out 10 dozen cookies in less than 10 minutes. This was Ruby's first time making Christmas cookies! If you think her cookies look good, you should see her booster seat and ...

Hand and Footprint Reindeer Craft for Kids
This darling little footprint reindeer craft is such a fun way to document those little hands and feet! The perfect preschool craft for kids! Kaylee is here today to share her hand/footprint reindeer craft that she made all by herself :) I love when I have an idea and see in my mind how it will turn out, and then one of my kids takes it in a completely different direction. This goofy little reindeer happened that way, and he makes me laugh every time I see him. He is just perfect! If you ... Read More about Hand and Footprint Reindeer Craft for Kids
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowflakes
Are you ready for an incredible addicting treat? Like...you go for 2 of them and end up eating 6? Yeah, they are that good! And SO easy to make.

Make them with colored chocolates, milk chocolate, ... Read More about White Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowflakes
Homemade Nativity Scenes for Children
Some friends and I do a preschool co-op together. I teach twice a week every 4 weeks. The kids love the social interaction and it is so fun to plan activities for them! I recently did a "Nativity" theme. The highlight for the kids seemed to be playing with all of the different nativity sets that we have. And we have a lot of them! Some homemade, some not. We even made a little Nativity for them to each bring home. It was so easy to do! If you have a cricut, just cut everything out from the ... Read More about Homemade Nativity Scenes for Children

Our New Office & Craft Room
I am just thrilled to be able to show you my home office/craft room/guest room. Yep, it has a lot of functions. Originally this room was going to be our guest room. Complete with a full size bed and everything my grandmother would need when she came to stay with us on occasion. That was one of the things we looked forward to when we found out we'd be moving back to California. She passed away just a couple of months after we moved here and it was heart breaking to think that we wouldn't have ... Read More about Our New Office & Craft Room
Serving Others With Mr. Grinch
With the Holiday Season upon us, our thoughts are easily turned towards serving others. I thought it would be fun to create a Family Home Evening lesson on it. We watched a couple of short video clips on serving others. One video especially touched me and the kids really enjoyed it too. It is called "The Coat". Apparently we aren't the only ones it touched. A group of young girls saw it and decided to take that spirit of giving from the movie and start a coat drive for the needy. They ... Read More about Serving Others With Mr. Grinch
