St. Patrick's Day food

How cute would it be to serve green milk and lucky charms for breakfast

via thoughfullysimple.com

 And for lunch you can serve an ombre green cake

For dinner, this shamrock pretzel would be great

And to finish of the day, serve a jello pot of gold!!

Groundhog Day

 Is this day anything but silly?

Most folklore is anyway.

Putting up Christmas

I think a lot of people put up their Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. We usually wait until the first weekend of December, but I'm getting a bit antsy this year. I want to decorate!

What is your family's tradition?

And ever wonder when these family traditions even started?

Happy Thanksgiving

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast and a house into a home. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

One day...

...I'll make something like this. I need to start collecting about 200 ornaments first. And I will collect them slowly because I am not willing to pay full price for ornaments.

But I love the idea. Visit here to see the steps.

and so it begins...

christmas time is here! time for joy. time for family. time to decorate.....but just remember: don't go crazy.
you don't need to spend thousands. don't need to bake for every party. don't need to stress.
and for goodness sake, don't over-decorate either. if you do anything like this, you have gone too far:

i wanna drink a candy cane
