Gifts for Girls (ages 7 and up) ~ I admit, I’m a little clueless when it comes to girls over the age of 7, because I haven’t had one, yet! Soon enough, soon enough. Luckily, I have a fantastic friend, Lisa, who does. She shared tons of fun ideas with me…I give her credit for…
Christmas Gift Ideas for Women ~ I love nightgowns. Not the silky, “I’m in the mood” kind. More like, “I just want to hang out and cuddle” kind. I think they’re more comfy than top/bottom jammies, more feminine, and super easy to put on. I’m all about a 1 step process for putting on my…
Gift Ideas for Boys (Ages 7 and Up) ~ My boys have had one of these SKLZ Pro Mini Basketball Hoops mounted to their bedroom wall, for years now. And, amazingly it still gets used all the time! Their favorite time to play with it is when they are supposed to be getting ready for…
Christmas Gifts for Girls (Ages 3 to 6) ~ I used to love paper dolls, just as much as Barbies, when I was little. With all the fancy-schmancy toys now days, I’ve wondered if paper dolls would even slightly impress my girls. I hope so! I ran into these awesome Personalized Paper Dolls by…

Gift Ideas for Boys (Ages 3 to 6) ~ If your kids are in to robots, dinosaurs, or basically just really cool toys (who isn’t?), Cruncher Prehistoric Pet Interactive Dinosaur is the must have. This thing is pretty darn fancy, especially for $60. It dances, comes when called, attacks, eats, plays catch, and can even…
Christmas Gifts for Men: With nearly 300 5-star reviews, I had to stop and read all about Eddie Bauer’s Classic Fit Sherpa Fleece Lined Hoodie. And, basically a bunch of dudes are saying this is thee best jacket, for various reasons (colors, warmth, fit, etc.) It looks cozy to me! Darn, they are $70 bucks,…

Hey, ladies! I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving, with lots of family and yummy food! And, since I know you’re all off shopping this weekend, I’m going to take a breather too. Well… Mostly… I’m going to be gearing up for the next couple weeks, they’re going to be a real doosie. Hardly breathing. …

Fall Leaf Puzzles As our first project with our wonderful surprise leaves we made some fall leaf puzzles. We took Maryanne’s (Mama Smiles) suggestion of covering the leaves…
So, I told y’all on Facebook how I went to this Rhodes Rolls demonstration for food bloggers, at their headquarters in Salt Lake. It was pretty fun to get some new ideas of things to make with their frozen dough rolls. Having pre-made dough on hand is so convenient, and it’s good! I normally only…
