Balancing the Good Things in Life
Welcome spring! God created seasons for people like me. I love changing the decor in my home to reflect the seasonal changes. I would get bored looking at the same things all year long. This year I kept my mantles uncluttered going with simple spring fireplace mantle decor in both the living room and the […]
Spring decorating should be light and warm. There should be flowers, buds, greenery and new life everywhere. And even though there still may be a few cold lingering days, it should remind you of what is to come. If your spring decor could use a starting point, here’s a life-filled printable for you! This print […]
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors for desserts. There is just something about the sour and sweet combination that is pleasing to my palette. As a matter of fact, my mouth is watering as I’m typing and thinking about this Lemon Oreo Cheesecake! The Lemon Oreos used in this recipe may be hard to […]
These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Egg Nests are a quick, easy, no-bake cookie you can whip up in minutes. They are a great spring treat to serve around Easter. And just look at them! They are adorable! This recipe was created when I wanted to make traditional haystacks (made with butterscotch chips), but I didn’t […]
I’ve been experimenting with my Cake Mix Cookie recipe and wanted to create a pretty green cookie for St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. Don’t these green cookies just scream, “Springtime!” I wanted something different than the mint chocolate chip flavor that seems to dominate this time of year. Key Lime has always been a favorite of […]
If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and love wine, then sangria is the beverage for you! I like making a batch of this a couple of days before we’re having friends over for a game night or cookout. I have several sangria recipes for different occasions, but this Pink Moscato Sangria is perfect […]
You wander into the kitchen looking for a little something sweet to eat, but all you find is that your kids have wiped out every single cookie and snack cake in the house. There’s a cake mix on the shelf in the pantry, but you really don’t want to bake and frost a cake. Wait […]
I’m going to be honest with you up front about these mashed potatoes. There is nothing healthy or low-calorie about them. This is not a make-all-the-time-for-dinner kind of side dish. These Really Good Really Easy Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes are for special occasions. I usually make them about 3 times per year: Easter, Thanksgiving and […]
I love creating printable artwork to display in our home. It’s a simple, inexpensive way to keep the decor fresh, and it’s takes only minutes to update and change with the seasons. This week I am putting away our spring decorations that are specific to Easter and replacing them with more general spring decor. I created a free […]
At the beginning of each new season it it SO tempting to go shopping and pick up shiny, new, pretty things to decorate my home. They are everywhere! Big box stores, craft stores, home improvement stores and even the grocery stores all have beautiful things out on display. This year think about taking a different approach. […]
