    15 DIY Patriotic Crafts

    July 1, 2016 /

    It’s the perfect time of year for a DIY crafty person, especially one with a flare for patriotic crafts. July 4th is on the way soon and that means more opportunities to dress the house and yard up, if you are a crafty individual.

For me, summer always signals time to decorate the house, with cute personal touches, or flowers. I am a gardener at heart and I treasure being able to grow things. So right now I enjoy the weather that brings more opportunities…

    Celebrate With Candy Bubble Gum Freak Shakes

    June 10, 2016 /

    By now you’ve heard of freak shakes. A glorious excessive sweet celebratory shake that just screams summer. I’ll be honest I think I could manage about one of these a year at best. But it would be worth it. This candy bubble gum shake is the perfect way to kick summer holidays off this year. I plan to make a bubble gum crazy shake for the last day of school with my kids. Crazy shakes, or freak shakes, are a huge craze right now. And there are as many different shakes as there are candies out there.

    Celebrate Life and all The Little Moments #BirthdaysCount

    August 17, 2015 /

    When my children were little we spent many hours celebrating being a family. And every year their birthdays were all consuming but wonderful little landmarks of our lives together. For weeks we would plot guest lists and the themes, building the perfect cake. Planning presents that would make their hearts sing.

Sometimes I bought their cakes, but very often I tried to bake something special just for them. I still remember easily Payton’s first birthday which was…
