A couple of weeks ago, Richy asked me to go out of town with him for a short work trip.  The town we went to is a sweet little touristy town with lots of unique shops and quaint little stores to browse.

The day after he was done with work, we spent several hours that morning browsing little shops. And it was in one of those stores that I spotted something like these Reindeer Noses Treat Bags near the register.  They were $4 each!

I snapped a picture with my phone – knowing it was something I could easily recreate for pennies on the dollar! It took me a couple of weeks to slow down and write the post, but finally, I’m getting it done!  It took a few minutes on Picmonkey creating the tags then less than 5 minutes putting them together!

If you need to make fun snacks for your kids’ classroom, or for your own students, or just for your own kids – I think they’ll all love these!

So here’s what you’ll need: Continue Reading ▶

We Whisk You a Merry Christmas Whisk and Candy Gift Idea

I can’t remember where I first saw this idea, but I knew I had to share.  This is oh-so-easy to do and I hope you’re going to love it as much as I do!

The first idea… a stand-alone gift.  If you have friends who love to cook/bake, this is an inexpensive, yet useful gift for them.  I’m thinking of givinig one to each family in our Sunday School Class just for fun.

Spiced Oat Cake

If you want to bake a new cake for Christmas – this Spiced Oat Cake needs to be the cake. This cake is the perfect combination of warm flavors – cinnamon and nutmeg, oatmeal and brown sugar. Plus the most delicious cream cheese frosting you’ve ever tasted.

Please note: This is not a paid review and it’s my complete and honest opinion on the book and recipe I chose.  I am publishing this recipe with the permission from the author. 

So first up – a confession.  Back in September, Alyx from Sugar by Alyx, asked for volunteers to try her new cake cookbook and share a recipe. I immediately volunteered. I love to support other bakers in any way I can.

Besides, Alyx self-published this book and I’m always in awe and admiration of anybody willing to work that hard for their dreams.  Publishing is hard work and I always strive to be a cheerleader for entrepreneurs!  🎉

Fast foward to a short time later when Alyx sent the book to me.  But when it arrived, it was a busy week and I couldn’t immediately dive into it.

Then when things slowed down, I had an afternoon set aside to do the cake. But I couldn’t find the book. I looked and looked and looked that afternoon with no luck.  To say I was horrified would have been a massive understatement. Continue Reading ▶

Just for fun, this week I thought I’d have a Wedding Cake Socks Giveaway!  We’ll call it a little early Christmas gift from me to you ❤️️

Several years ago I posted my very first post about my favorite Wedding Cake Socks. That post was super popular… until the socks were no longer available.

But then Hot Sox brought them back and recently, when I was placing an order for some of their new designs, I decided I’d grab 3 pairs of the Wedding Cake Socks to share with a few of my readers ❤️️

If you love cakes like I do… you need these Wedding Cake Socks.  I mean – they’re just so darn cute!  And I’m giving away 3 pairs!! Continue Reading ▶

I almost didn’t post this cake.  But ya’ll know I love to share a good story so I figured I’d dive in and share… here’s the story of this Champagne & Hot Pink Flowers Wedding Cake.

Champagne, Pearls & Hot Pink Flowers Wedding Cake

Well, this cake was almost a disaster on so many levels.  I did this cake back in 2015, but I still remember that day very well – how frazzled I was.  So why, you ask, would I not want to share?

First off – and most obviously – I got zero good pictures.  And this makes me incredibly sad because I really loved this cake.

But looking at that picture? The fuzziness makes my head and eyes hurt.  For that – I’m sorry.  I’m only sharing this one picture (it’s the best I’ve got) but it’ll just have to do 😁

Why else do I hesitate to share?  Well… gosh.  Where do I start? Continue Reading ▶

Old Fashioned Green Beans with Bacon & Brown Sugar

Getting ready for Easter last week, my Mama asked what I’d be bringing to our big family get-together and I immediately knew I wanted to make these Old Fashioned Green Beans with Bacon & Brown Sugar.  I hadn’t tried a new green bean recipe in a long time, but this one is a keeper for sure!

Someone in our family had made something similar a couple of years ago – except they used the whole green beans and wrapped the bacon around them then poured the sauce over the top.  My friend Susan said she makes them the same way.   But this recipe sounded so much easier… no wrapping required!

And did you know you can get canned green beans on Amazon by the case (example here)?  Sometimes they’re even cheaper than Walmart and they’re shipped to my house for FREE with Amazon Prime!  That’s my kind of shopping for sure!  (Try Amazon Prime for FREE here!)

Plus… how can you go wrong with bacon and brown sugar?  Another thing I really love is that the recipe makes a huge pan!  It was perfect for our family of 24 for our Easter dinner!!  Actually, we ran out of beans, so it might not be quite big enough :-0

I’m have some really exciting news today!  My favorite socks are on sale for Cyber Monday and you don’t want to miss this!! Use code CYBERVIP2584 to get 40% off today only!

You guys – I’m not telling you this just because it’s a great sale. I seriously love these socks.  I have dozens and dozens of pairs of HotSox.

In fact, I rarely wear any other brand of socks. My husband and kids order them for me all the time and I would be shocked (and sad 😉 ) if my birthday or Christmas or any other gift-giving occassion passed and I didn’t get new socks!

I have them for every occassion and holiday. See?

And this is just a small sample of my HotSox sock collection.

Wedding cake socks, candy apple socks, sweet tea socks, pumpkin pie socks, milkshake socks, sushi socks, heart lollipop socks, Thanksgiving socks, Christmas socks, cookie socks, donut socks, carrot cake socks, cupcake socks … and more and more and more!

You get the idea right? The socks are soft and pretty and come in so many varieties! Just to be sure you don’t miss any really cute ones… here are my current favorites:

These Kitchen Utensil socks are so cute and perfect for me and extra special because the hubby ordered them for me as a surprise.

I didn’t know there was a variety available that I hadn’t seen until I opened these up!  Eeek – so exciting!  They have whisks, rolling pins, graters, potato mashers, knives, spoons… gaaah.  I love them!! 🥄

Turkey Socks.  Of course, because Thanksgiving. 🍗 (I also highly recommend the Carrot Cake socks!)

 

Birthday Socks.  One of my kids got these for me earlier this year for my birthday and I love them!  I wear them all the time , birthday or not, because hello? Pink Cake!  And they’re so festive!

Last, but not least… my all-time favorite wedding cake socks. They only come in blue these days, but I have three colors in my collection from when they first started selling them. I know this is so cheesy, but it’s become sort of a tradition for me to wear a pair of them every time I deliver a wedding cake.  They’re just so pretty!

(at this moment, it occurs to me that you might be wondering about all of my sock selfies… I have no explanation. I just love them ❤️️)

You know what else? They make perfect gifts!  I imagine you can find a pair of HotSox for almost any interest or hobby and they’d make a perfect stocking stuffer!

Obviously I’m sharing a lot of women’s socks, but they also have a huge selection of men’s socks here!

Anyway – let’s talk about the sale.  The Cyber Monday is live now!. My favorite part is – the more you buy – the better the discount!  And if you spend $45 – you get Free Shipping!  Use code CYBERVIP2584 for a whopping 40% off!!

Last week my best friend Kathy and her family came for a visit. You might remember that they live in Italy and we don’t get to see them often.   So the fact that they came to stay for several days was such a treat!

This is both of our families except for my oldest son Joshua.  I think this is the first photo we’ve ever taken of our (almost) whole families: ❤️️ Continue Reading ▶
