February 14, 2025 Valentine Fun: Food, Crafts and Lots of Love
We love Valentine’s Day. Our favorite holiday after Halloween. Growing up, I loved making Valentines for friends at school and looking at all the ones my friends made for me.

Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly. I wanted to show you some cute baskets that I put together for the kids last year to give you inspiration as you shop this year. The wire baskets are from Target, and I use them for a bunch of things year round. The acrylic tags were personalized with […]

February 7, 2025 Design Your Own Valentine Tote
We always dream up new Valentine crafts for our friends. We picked up some inexpensive totes from our local craft store and used our Cricut to outline friend’s names on the bags. We threw in some Crayola fabric markers and it was up to each friend’s imagination to create the bag of their dreams. Perfect […]

February 6, 2025 Valentine’s Day Fudge Brownies
I usually don’t have time to make homemade brownies, so I fancy up some box brownies. (Throw in some candy or add on some home made frosting…) But I found myself with some extra time the other day and decided to make some fudge brownies from scratch. I found a recipe from Karli, cookiesfordaaays on […]

February 5, 2025 Sweet Treats for Your Sweet Valentine
Desserts are my favorite – I think you should eat them first. We bake desserts for friends for all the holidays, it’s our love language. I usually don’t make sandwich cookies of any kind, because I just can’t handle the extra step, but we had some fancy jam, and, these seemed like a fun idea […]

February 4, 2025 Valentine’s Day Sweets and Treats
I love a good m&m cookie on Valentine’s Day. They just give a good pop of color and a nice hearty cookie with a crunch on the outside that I love. Our neighbors love these too, they even request the crunchier the better 🙂 I know that snackle boxes are the new thing, but I […]

January 30, 2025 Will You Be Mine? Valentine Piñatas
I always like to pick up discounted Valentine merch at the end of the season. I found these at Home Goods last year – filled with gummy candy, which I promptly threw out. The piñatas themselves were still good and we filled them with out own treats (fresh ones!) to give to friends this year. […]

January 24, 2025 Scandinavian Traditions: Good Luck For the New Year
Sometimes you have people come into your life, and they turn out to be very special people. We are fortunate to have so many of them. We have a neighbor, who told us about our house when the owner’s were thinking about selling it, and we bought it before they put it on the market. […]
