DIY Halloween Lanterns
Okay, so I know we’ve all had a craft fail or two, right? You know how it goes, it seems like it’s going to be an easy craft, nothing can go wrong, and then it turns out looking…y’know…meh. Well, have you ever had the opposite happen? You’re not sure about a DIY project or craft, and then it turns out SO MUCH BETTER than you were expecting. That’s exactly what happened to me with these DIY Halloween lanterns. (more…)

I’m on a pumpkin recipe roll right now! I seriously can’t get enough of yummy pumpkin desserts. Call it being 9 months pregnant, or maybe I just have the autumn bug – either way, I must. eat. pumpkin. This week I made a pecan and pumpkin dump cake!
DIY Organization Hack: Storage Drawers Redo
Organization isn’t always fun, but when you add some color and cute labels with this fun DIY organization hack – organizing your stuff isn’t such a chore!
Hi all! I think I’ve mentioned just a few times that I’m in the middle of a major overhaul of my house. Rooms are being moved around. Craft stuff is being arranged. Nurseries are being created. It’s craziness. Part of all this craziness is trying to make sense of all the DIY stuff/craft supplies that had been haphazardly thrown into the old craft room, which must now all be moved to a new craft room. And of course, I want it to all be carefully organized in a neat, yet cute, way. So I decided to add a little craftiness to my organization with this DIY organization hack. (more…)

BLT Mac and Cheese Bites
This week, I was invited to help out with an entry into a macaroni and cheese cook off! And let me tell you, these BLT Mac and Cheese bites were a showstopper!
You could cook whatever kind of macaroni and cheese recipe you wanted, as long as it had the two main ingredients: macaroni and cheese. Other than that, the sky was the limit. I was recruited to help create an outstanding macaroni and cheese recipe, and I came up with the idea of BLT macaroni and cheese bites. (more…)

Jalapeno, Bacon & Corn Dip – How Pinteresting
Are you ready for some Football?? I’m sooooo ready! Over the years my husband has been stealthily getting me more and more into football. First, it started with seemingly innocent visits to his parents house to watch the games on Sundays. Then he bought football jerseys for the dogs (a good way to get me interested in anything is to let me dress up the dogs). Before I knew it, I had my own fantasy football team and I think I might just be more excited for games then he is every week. A few weeks ago we had a fantasy football league draft party at our house, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to try out this cheesy jalapeno, bacon & corn dip. (more…)
Baked Bacon French Toast
Okay, so I have a confession to make. I absolutely love, love, love french toast – but I don’t know how to cook it! Like, at all. I’ve tried following all sorts of techniques and recipes for french toast, but I simply can never get it right. So finally, I decided to make my own recipe for french toast. And while I was at it, I threw in some bacon! (more…)
