Patriotic Push-up Cake Pops

June 17, 2015 by Alli Leave a Comment

Patriotic Push-up Cake Pops

One of my favorite traditions as a kid was going to the fireworks on the 4th of July. We’d go to the waterfront downtown and beg my parents for ridiculously over-priced glow necklaces (they always caved). There was something so magical about it all! Sadly, I haven’t been to fireworks in ages! Ever since J and…

Easter Egg Paper Pouches

Springtime has arrived here in Arkansas, and we couldn’t be happier! We’ve been playing outside in shorts and t-shirts, and it’s been absolutely lovely. So to celebrate I decided to create an Easter craft, and this is what we came up with. These fun little egg pouches were super easy to whip up, and Soph…

Valentine’s Day Photo Shoot

Valentine’s Day Photo Shoot

Confession: I hate Valentine’s Day. A lot. In school, it was a competition to see who got the most chocolates and flowers from their boyfriend (or in my case, my mom…) Now that I’m married, I don’t hate it any less. I’ve told Jonny on many occasions that I think it’s downright silly. Having him bringing…

DIY Snowglobe

Things are a little lonely over at our house this week. The hubs is out of town, so we are Jonny-less. It’s all very sad. The exciting part is that he is in Arkansas, starting his new job! We never imagined that we’d be living in a tiny little town in Arkansas, but life can be…

5 Minute Christmas Ornament

5 Minute Christmas Ornament

Did you ever have an idea that you thought was awesome? Then as it turns out… not so awesome? Yep. That would be these ornaments. Don’t get me wrong. They’re fun to make, super easy, and look adorable. But be warned: if you have a wild 18-month old that runs around terrorizing your Christmas decorations, edible ornaments…

Monthly Book Club: The Sweet Smell of Christmas

I believe I’ve mentioned before, but in case you weren’t listening… CHRISTMAS IS MY FAVORITE. I love everything about it. So I was especially excited for Book Club this month. I chose an old classic, The Sweet Smell of Christmas* by Patricia M. Scarry {you can purchase it HERE*}. It’s actually a scratch-and-sniff book, which…

Snowman Marshmallow Pops

 I told you I love marshmallow pops! I don’t think I will ever stop making them 🙂 These snowmen were so fun to make! I happen to really like how they turned out. When Sophie saw them, however, she said “Mom. They need hats.” *sigh* You can’t please everyone.

Gratitude Journal

Gratitude Journal

I called this a “Thanksgiving” gratitude journal, but I am a firm believer that gratitude is NOT just for November. So feel free to use this thing all year round! I love the quote by Gordon B. Hinckley that says, I am definitely guilty of “seeking out the storms” sometimes, which is silly, because it…

Christmas Memory Game {FREE Printable!}

We’re not big “game” people in our house, but one game we ALL love is memory. It’s one of the first games Sophie learned how to play, and she’s gotten pretty good! She has a habit of making up her own rules, though. It doesn’t matter how many times I explain them to her, she…
