Like a lot of families around the country, we decorated our home for Christmas this past weekend. Once Thanksgiving is over, there is always the rush to get ready for the next holiday. For us, that meant our annual trip to the Christmas tree farm to choose our tree for the season. Always a fun […]
pumpkin pecan pie
When I think of fall desserts, two in particular come to mind…pumpkin pie and pecan pie. They were a staple at my Thanksgiving meals when I was growing up. It was so hard to decide which one to have for dessert…of course, I usually had to have a sliver of both. This recipe combines both […]
pumpkin place cards
Thanksgiving is one week away! Are you ready? Have you planned the menu? Purchased ingredients for your pies? Ordered your turkey? I actually get off easy for Thanksgiving because we travel to see the grandparents. However, we started our own tradition about five or six years ago…we have a small Thanksgiving meal on the Sunday […]
holiday wrapping
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is wrapping the packages. I know I’m a little crazy because it seems like a lot of work just for someone to rip it open and throw those ribbons and paper in the trash. However, I think the presentation is just as important as the actual […]
pumpkin pop
Happy Halloween! Here’s a fun activity to try at those Halloween parties today…a pumpkin pop! You will need…orange balloons, small nails, small treats (edible and non-edible), a large board, and green poster board. Place items in the balloons and inflate…one item in each balloon. Then poke a nail through the part of the balloon that […]
halloween lunch
Halloween was celebrated at my youngest daughter’s school today! The festivities included a school-wide parade around the surrounding neighborhood, followed by classroom parties. Definitely an exciting day…one that the kids anticipate all week! The kids are sent home for an extended lunchtime to change into their costumes, so I hosted a Halloween lunch for C […]
orange and black…and PINK
When I decorate for Halloween, orange and black are the dominant colors. It’s easy to do as most Halloween merchandise is made in those colors…plates, napkins, banners, signs, candy containers, home decor, party supplies. Most of it is orange and black. I’m hosting a Halloween lunch tomorrow for my daughter and her friends, and I […]
candy corn krispy treats
I made these candy corn krispy treats for my daughter’s Halloween party at school a few years ago. She had a few classmates with nut allergies, so I thought these treats would be festive and yummy while staying within the nut-free guidelines. You will need rice krispy treats (I use the packaged kind…much easier to […]
dracula donuts
These dracula donuts are sure to be a hit on Halloween morning! So quick and simple to create! You need glazed donuts, plastic vampire teeth, and chocolate chips. Bend the plastic vampire teeth together, and then insert them into the middle of the donut. Then add two chocolate chips to make eyes. Soooo cute, right? […]
mason jar lanterns
After being an elementary teacher for seven years and a mother for eighteen, I’ve seen quite a few Halloween crafts. It seems harder and harder to come up with something new and creative every year, especially as the kids get older. Last year, I was asked to plan a craft for G’s middle school (grades […]
