Gift Ideas




Decor





Fun Kitchen Stuff





Party Supplies



I also love checking out the Target $1 spot, Dollar Tree, and of course Walmart and Dollar General. 

Finding cute stuff for you guys finally made me ready to take down my Christmas decor😂.

The last several years I haven't decorated for Valentines because 1. I didn't feel well enough to take the Christmas decor down so quickly and 2. I just really didn't care lol
I'm so excited to dig out the stuff I have, get a few of the things I shared with you guys and check out some other stores to find some stuff.

Do you do anything for Valentines?
Growing up we would always have a "fancy" dinner. Mom would always get out the china, make a special meal and make cheesecake for dessert.

It depends year to year what Joe and I do, how much we spend, etc. but we always make sure we take that time to celebrate our love! It makes me so sad that alot of couples don't do anything. I realize everyone says its just a Hallmark holiday, etc. but why not take that as an excuse to have a fun date or something? We do things throughout the year, surprise each other with little gifts throughout the year, etc. 
I encourage you to do something even if its something small for your spouse or significant other. Make them feel loved and special, it won't kill you I promise😉.

Most years I do something homemade even if I do get Joe an actual gift. I love to make homemade cards, I've done heart shaped cookie cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pancakes and so much more.

One year Joe made me heart shaped cinnamon rolls and dyed the frosting pink and did heart shaped eggs and bacon for breakfast.

Like I said, it doesn't have to be anything huge, and obviously I encourage you to do those things throughout the year, but its just fun to use it as an excuse to celebrate. 

And if you have kiddos at home and can't go out on a date night, do something like my parents did and make it a family thing.

Happy Valentines Day! 
XOXO

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course). And now for the rest in really no particular order because I couldn’t possibly decide between them all🤷‍♀️. Peanut blossoms   Peanut butter cookies Peanut butter sandwich cookies Peanut butter bars -  Chocolate peanut butter bars   Chocolate scotcheroos  Chocolate peanut butter fudge  Peanut butter cups  Chocolate peanut butter pie  Peanut butter popcorn And lastly...if you want peanut butter but with a li...

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

In honor of Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week I thought I would finally share an update on my health journey.

Highlands (Song of Ascent) O how high would I climb mountains If the mountains were where You hide O how far I’d scale the valleys If You graced the other side O how long have I chased rivers From lowly seas to where they rise Against the rush of grace descending From the source of its supply In the highlands and the heartache You’re neither more or less inclined I would search and stop at nothing You’re just not that hard to find So I will praise You on the mountain And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way You’re the summit where my feet are So I will praise You in the valleys all the same No less God within the shadows No less faithful when the night leads me astray You’re the heaven where my heart is In the highlands and the heartache all the same O how far beneath Your glory Does Your kindness extend the path From where Your feet rest on the sunrise To where You sweep the sinner’s past O how fast would You come running If just to shadow me through the night Trace my step...
