I may have gone a bit overboard with trying Chex mix varieties this year, making original apple pie, caramel corn, and cranberry-orange mixes! I created so many different varieties (ahem, besides the fact that eating them makes my heart and my stomach happy!) that I had a vision for this fun DIY cookie tin divider. Filling…
Just before Sean and I left for our 10th anniversary trip to Charleston, South Carolina, we received a gift we had been hoping and praying for...a positive pregnancy test and the knowledge that a new little Ehman would be joining our family next summer.
