Cadbury Egg Crescent Roll

One of my favorite Easter chocolates is Cadbury Caramel Eggs.  Sometimes, we love these chocolates so much, we buy way too many.  Or maybe we receive a few too many in our Easter baskets.  Either way, the recipe below is a great and delicious way to use up those Cadbury Eggs...maybe even for breakfast!  Chocolate for breakfast is a good plan to me!

Getting a Rabbit Out of Your Garage

Unfortunately this morning I was welcomed by a furry creature as I tried to leave for work. I opened our garage door and noticed a little animal hiding under our toolbox. My first thought was this is a huge rat. I closed our door and began hitting our door to try and scare this animal off. I opened the door back up to be greeted b

Bookmark Favor

For my sister-in-law's baby shower, we had a Storybook theme.  Everyone was asked to bring a storybook instead of a card, and all of the decorations and food were based on some sort of storybook.  When trying to decide a favor, I thought it would be perfect to give everyone a bookmark.  I mean what goes better with a storybook theme than a bookmark to save your place in said storybook.

Easter Bunny Pancakes

I saw a picture of these cute Easter bunny pancakes online a few weeks ago, and I decided to try making them myself! I used our trusty old Bisquick pancake recipe and our pancake pen to make the perfect shapes!  

March Beauty Moment

This month, I wanted to focus on ipsy.  I love receiving my ipsy bags every month.  It only costs $10 a month, and you receive a cute makeup bag and 5 beauty products.  At least one of those beauty products is a full size product.  

BBQ Meatballs

BBQ Meatballs have turned out to be one of our favorite recipes, but it does take a bit of commitment of your time to make!  My friend at Cupcakes and Commentary actually cooked this for Brad and I one night and shared the recipe from The Pioneer Woman.  My recipe is identical to The Pioneer Woman's except I have converted this recipe to use 2 pounds of meat rather than the 1.5 pounds she uses.  Happy Cooking!

DIY Wedding Reception Programs/Placecards

For our wedding reception, I decided to combine the placecards with a reception program.  I wanted guests to have some sort of outline of the evening's festivities.  I used the same pink cardstock that we used for our Wedding Programs.  I made them so that the size of the program was exactly half of one entire page.  This made cutting the programs really easy.  I had a lot of test ones made before printing the real thing.  

Honeymoon Ideas and Costs

It is wedding season so I thought I would do some research on potential honeymoon ideas and costs.  Honeymoon costs can vary greatly.  Today I research three different kinds of honeymoons.  With all three my budget was $3,500.  I used the honeymoon dates of 5/17/15 - 5/23/15.  The prices that I am quoting below were researched mid-February 2015.  There is a great chance that prices have changed slightly.  But this may give you an idea of some honeymoon options at a reasonable cost.

DIY Wedding Program

Since it is wedding season, I thought I would share with you what our DIY wedding programs looked like. When designing them, I did a lot of research on different styles. I designed them myself as well as printed and assembled them.
