Crunchy and super sweet, this candy is more than a little bit addictive, so you'll want to make it and gift it right away rather than keeping it around the house! Best of all, it is peanut-free Although it still contains nuts, this recipe, adapted from Betty Crocker, is peanut-free for those dealing with peanut allergies…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: 101 Days of Christmas: Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread {In a Jar} A recipe for orange-kissed cranberry quick bread that can be gifted in a jar as a mix or already baked into loaves. I dislike shopping malls, especially around Christmas. Being jostled…
As part of this year's 101 Days of Christmas series, I'm sharing a roundup with more ideas from around the blogosphere each Sunday! I'm far from the craftiest person in the blogosphere, and my motto has always been, "If I can do this project, anyone can!" so most of our handmade decor ideas are super…
My mom actually bought my sister and I each a pair of boot stands/inserts last year for Christmas, and -- because I'm a blogger -- my first thought when I saw them was, "Hey, we could make these for 101 Days of Christmas next year!" It turns out that it's not quite as simple of…
I love all Christmas music, but I especially love classic Christmas carols like O Holy Night and Joy to the World. So this year, I put together a collection of printable carols. You could print these out and put them in a folder to use as song sheets or print your favorite on pretty paper…
These burlap & button bows could not be simpler to make, but they are so darling! Really, you could use this method to make bows out of virtually any material, but as you'll soon discover, I'm a bit obsessed with burlap this year. Honestly, I've always loved burlap, but I was kind of intimidated by…
I really, really wanted to try to find a soft gingerbread cookie this year, and with a secret ingredient (cream cheese!), these fit the bill. I played around with a few different recipes to come up with this one but ended up using Shaina's spice blend. I've loved every cookie she's ever made for me,…
My step-mom, who passed away almost 9 years ago, when our oldest was just a baby, used to make these holly leaves from cornflakes every Christmas. We'd all end up with green fingers and teeth from taste testing as we went, and while I'm not a huge fan of food dye, I couldn't resist making…
As part of this year's 101 Days of Christmas series, I'll be sharing a roundup each Sunday with more ideas from around the blogosphere! Last year, these felt photo booth props were one of my favorite projects, and as you begin to think about your annual family photo for your Christmas card, I thought it…
I love having a little baby at Christmastime (which is good since this will be our fourth fall baby), and one of my favorite parts is all the cute "Baby's 1st Christmas" onesie outfits available! We received a couple of hand-me-down sleepers, and I couldn't resist this set from Carter's, but I had some green…
