Merry Christmas!

“Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!   Luke 2:10-11 In the midst of all the gifts and wonderful food that this day brings, I hope you remember to reflect on the fact that it all started with a tiny baby in a manger. I wish you all a joyous Christmas Day!

Blog Giveaway Roundup – December 16, 2011

Can you believe Christmas is in just a little over a week?  When I was little, the month of December seemed to drag on and on.  As an adult however, it seems like it was just Thanksgiving yesterday!

Make Your Own Chocolate Kit Review

Make Your Own Candy Kits

I don’t mind admitting that I am a huge chocoholic.  My daughters love chocolate almost as much as I do.  So when I recently had the chance to review one of Glee Gum’s Make Your Own Candy Kits, of course, I chose the Make Your Own Chocolate Kit. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend some time with my kids in the kitchen, while teaching them a little bit about the history of one of their favorite treats.

Get Noticed with Headline Shirts – Review and Giveaway

Headline Shirts T-shirt

Like most other teenage boys, my son lives in a t-shirt and jeans.  The funnier the t-shirt, the better in his opinion.  So when I was contacted about doing a review for Headline Shirts, I was happy to agree to it.  I mean a person can never have too many comfy t-shirts, right?

The sled was a find at Crafts 2000.  I got it for $9.97, which was quite a bargain in my opinion. My other purchase for the ensemble was the boots which I found at my local Michaels. The hat and scarf are crocheted, both of which were done without a pattern.  After you have been crocheting for awhile and know how to do some basic shaping, it’s not all too hard coming up with your own patterns.  I put the 18 inch doll hat free crochet pattern online.  You can access the hat pattern, as well as the pattern for the flower embellishment, by clicking on the link.  I hope to get the twirly scarf pattern up … Continue reading
