How To Avoid a Thanksgiving #Turkeypocalypse (Special Message from NFL Player Clay Matthews)
There's no such thing as the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. And I'm okay with that. However, it doesn't stop me from trying to get everything right on Turkey Day. Not a Thanksgiving goes by that I don't forget something. Some years it's a minor oops like, Oops! I forgot to buy napkins so we'll have to use paper towels instead. Other years have seen major oops like, Oops! It's time to put the turkey in the oven and it's still frozen solid. I ...
Free Printable Cards for Mother’s Day #IntelAIO
I almost always forget to send out Mother's Day cards til the last minute. This year was no different! Last Wednesday night, I realized that if I wanted my mom to get her Mother's Day card in the mail BEFORE Mother's Day, it absolutely needed to be mailed by the next day. My trusty Intel AIO helped save the day by helping me find the perfect printable card. I like to design printable greeting cards on my computer. It is super convenient, saves ...
My kids call her Nana, but she will always be Mom to me. #PutYourHeartToPaper
Thank you to Hallmark for sponsoring this Mother's Day content. All opinions expressed are my own. #PutYourHeartToPaper I don't get to go home very often these days. It's much easier to fly my mom out to visit with our family. But last year, the six of us packed our bags and spent Christmas at Nana's house. My kids think it's funny when they hear me call my mom, "Mom." They tell me her real name is Nana. I'm the one who is Mom. But not ...
Happy EOSter Easter Basket (eos lip balms are cute and colorful “eggs”!)
One of my favorite things ever is eos lip balm. I have used them for years, but only recently realized that their rounded shape and cute colors make them look a lot like Easter eggs. With that in mind, I bought some cute little tin Easter baskets and eos lip balm in all sorts of colors. Purple, pink, blue, green, pastel stripes...you get the idea. I knew the little "eos"-ster "eggs" were going to look so adorable in the Easter basket. ...
DIY Easter Decorations: Bunnies and Burlap Table Runner
I love the rustic look of my inexpensive burlap table runner. It goes with just about any decor. But it looks a little plain for Easter decorations, so I thought I should stencil some bunnies on it. I decided to use white paint for the bunnies. I think it could also look really cute using pastel paint colors like pink, yellow, and blue. Don't have a bunny stencil? No problem! Neither did I - so I made one. You can download the Bunny Stencil I ...
Easy Christmas Appetizers: “The Grinch” Caprese Kabobs
I am always on the lookout for easy Christmas appetizers during the holiday season. Last week, one of my kids brought home "The Grinch" fruit kabobs (green grape for the head, a banana slice for the Santa hat bottom, and strawberry topped with a mini marshmallow for the top of the hat). It was really cute! And led to the inspiration for today's recipe. It's not really a "recipe" - you can pretty much figure out how to make it by looking at the ...
DIY: Holiday Glam Monogram Wreath
I have a thing for homemade Christmas wreath ideas. I love DIY wreaths and holiday decorations. Artificial green wreaths are one of my favorite kinds to work with because there are so many possibilities and it's virtually impossible to mess them up. Dress up a plain green wreath with all sorts of things from pinecones from the yard to holly berries. Keep it simple when you add a big red bow. If you want an easy way to match a holiday color ...
