Tips on Getting Those Hard-to-Find Toys
With Christmastime upon us, many people are in search for many toys for their children. A lot of those toys are hard-to-find, and today I am going to discuss some of the things we have found to be successful when searching for these kinds of toys. Of course some of you know we do not have kids yet, but the toys we are in search of are for my husband. He loves Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Ranger, Transformers, etc. Pretty much if it is from the 80's and early 90's, he loves it. We are constantly on the lookout for new and rare toys.
White Chocolate Chip Cookies
The other night I wanted to bake some cookies and those that know me know I am not the best baker. I found this really easy recipe and luckily we had all the ingredients in the pantry. Below was my approach to the recipe:
Daddy Diaper Bag
My family and I thought it would be a neat idea to have a Daddy Baby Shower for my cousin’s husband on a family beach trip. Some of us were going to be unable to attend my cousin’s baby shower, so we decided we could give her our gifts then. I really wanted to do something more than just a cake for Jon. So I decided to make him a diaper bag. I didn’t want to give an actual bag because I wasn’t sure if he’d carry it, and my mom and I bought my cousin a really nice diaper bag. I had the idea to do a toolbox and provide him with all the “tools” he would need. It was really easy to make. Here are the materials I purchased and how I assembled:

Deviled Eggs
Since The Holidays are upon us, I decided to share some deviled egg recipes. I actually have two that I am going to share. The first is a traditional deviled egg recipe. I got the recipe from The Better Homes cookbook, but made a few changes to make it more like I prefer. The second is what I call deviled eggs with bacon and onions. However, Rachael Ray calls them BLT Deviled Eggs. I found this recipe in her Big Orange Book cookbook. I left out a few things, so that is why the recipe isn't called the same thing. But her recipe was my inspiration.
