Cookie Bars. I think that I may stop making regular cookies all together. These cookie bars were so easy to make, I don’t know why it has taken me this long to get on the train! I found this recipe for Frosted Confetti Cookie Bars on Instagram from Emily of My Messy Kitchen, and I […]

I saw people making the viral keychains all over Instagram and decided that I had to make some for my friends. I bought the decals for the keychain pre-made, and just added them to the clear, sparkle tags. It took no time at all. I then added some conversation heart gift cards to Starbucks – […]

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. When I had kids of my own, I renewed my love for Valentines – but last year, our school stopped allowing them to be exchanged […]

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 […]

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 […]

I found a recipe from Karli, cookiesfordaaays on […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

I was chatting with my hairdresser and she was telling me about how she tried to make the viral chocolate chip cookies for her boyfriend, but they turned out a total bust. I asked her if she tried to make one of the cookies home made, knowing that I had tried that too, and made […]
