    A Very Merry Christmas Advent Calendar DIY

    My mom and my aunt like to kick off the Christmas season with a girls’ trip – I affectionately refer to them as The Road Tripping Grannies.  At Thanksgiving I like to drop of advent calendars for each of them to begin opening on their trip, but at this point I have done all of the typical ones – the socks were their absolute favorite so far!  This year I decided to do something different.  This year I decided to make my own! I just love how these turned out and I hope they, and all of you, do too! Steps to Make Your Own Advent Vase Decor Choose Your…

    Ornament Tree DIY

    Welcome back.  Today I want to show you how to make this adorable little ornament tree.  I have seen these selling in stores for between $60 and $90 and I thought it didn’t look that difficult to make, so I figured why not give it a try.  You can see my inspiration here.     It only takes a few supplies to get started.  I used a medium sized floral cone because of the size where I planned to display the completed tree, but you can use any size you like.  Here’s one similar to what I used.  If going smaller, I would recommend getting thinner garland and smaller ornaments.…

    Chocolate Covered Marshmallows

    The final quick and easy treat for today is chocolate coated marshmallows.  The idea here is to get the delicious taste of a chocolate fountain treat without actually having to get out the chocolate fountain.  My kids love helping coat the marshmallows in chocolate. Simply melt chocolate – I melt the chocolate in the microwave and then use an electric melting pot so that the chocolate stays warm as we are making these and we do not have to rush to finish before the chocolate hardens.   Hold the marshmallow by one end and dunk the other into the melted chocolate.  Then place the half-coated marshmallow onto wax paper to…

    Peppermint Bark

    Let’s begin with my son’s favorite, Peppermint Bark.  It’s funny that he likes this at all as he isn’t a big fan of peppermint in general and frequently finds minty flavors to be “too spicy”. Peppermint bark takes about 15 minutes to prepare and another 10 minutes to cool and it only requires 2 ingredients White Chocolate Candy Canes Note: You can use any type of candy cane, however I wouldn’t mix types in the same batch of bark as all types taste a bit different and might not blend very well. The first step is to smash the candy canes.  This step can be quite messy and quiet fun. …

I went to visit mom again. As many of you know I o I went to visit mom again. As many of you know I often come home from Mom’s house with a really cool item and, in many cases, an even cooler story to go with it.  This little bell was from a old one-room schoolhouse. The teacher used to ring this bell to let kids know it was time to come in from recess. My uncle, in his elementary-school-aged wisdom decided with no bell recess would never end so he “acquired” the bell. I miss you Uncle Bunt. Thanks Mom, for the bell, and the  story!❣️❣️#oneroomschool #vintagedecor #schoolbell #myvintagefinds #momshouse #lovemyhome #lovemyhomedecor
