Holiday Baking Made Easy with Krusteaz Cookie Mixes
I don’t know about you but this year the holiday’s really snuck up on me! We finally got our tree this weekend and put out the rest of the decorations. Keep in mind I am usually the first one on the block come day after Thanksgiving (I get too excited) so I am a little behind for me. But I’m finally getting into the swing of things (good thing since Christmas will be here before we know it!). Part of our family’s traditions include baking cookies for family, neighbor’s and teachers. We tend to bake a couple rounds of holiday cookies and our first batches were made with Krusteaz…

Gorgeous DIY Succulent Pumpkin Planters
I honestly love pumpkin season, the smells and the flavors. This cute pumpkin succulent arrangement immediately turns your house into fall season. It also makes a great gift. As soon as the pumpkin starts to rot, simply plant it in your garden. If you need to pot it, just gently pull of the succulents and plant them in your favorite pot. I like to have a selection of different succulents. Definitely look for the little baby flower like succulents but also look for longer ‘flatter’ plants. Spread them out and sort them so you can clearly see what you have. I use moss…

5 Tips for Making Valentine’s Day Extra Special!
My husband and I disagree about Valentine’s Day. He gets overwhelmed (and a bit annoyed) by all the hype surrounding Valentine’s Day and doesn’t get why we need one day to express or show our love to family and friends. He aspires to show this daily and not on just one day. I understand his thinking, but my feeling is to not think you have to go over the top with diamonds, flowers and chocolates (but that’d be nice wouldn’t it?) but, instead think of it as a day of demonstrating how much you care about your family. There is no pressure, just do what you are up to doing, and…
