Our freezer can sometimes get out of hand with all of the foodsaving that we do. I currently have to reorganize my freezer about once a month. Well I decided to try and resolve this problem and keep from having to reorganize as often.

On the weekends, I always try and cook breakfast for Brad and me. He loves Bacon and Egg sandwiches. After Valentine's Day, we had some Sister Schubert rolls leftover. We rarely buy the tin of rolls for this reason. But we decided to try using the rolls instead of loaf bread for our Bacon and Egg Sandwiches. They turned out really well, and Brad wanted me to share this with everyone!
So while shopping for our cousin's wedding, I found the cutest little mini-utensils for baking. I loved them so much, I decided to make a small gift basket for baking for her shower. The 'basket' is a stainless steel mixing bowl. We purchased one of each utensil in different colors of course. Then we topped it off with measuring cups! Super cute and easy wedding gift!
This is a really easy DIY wreath that can be tailored to any season.
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!
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
These napkin rings are really simple to make and you can use any color yarn to make it fit within your decor.
This was my very first diaper cake, and it was surprisingly easy to make. My sister-in-law's baby shower was storybook themed, so I carried that over into the decor I used for the cake.
These are really easy to make cupcakes thanks to a box mix. The decor is really easy and cute as well! There is even a nice surprise in the middle :-)
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.
My DIY Easter basket is really easy to make and makes an inexpensive alternative to the store-bought Easter baskets.
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!
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.
Quite awhile ago when we were at a friend's house, I noticed how organized her pantry was. She actually wrote a blog post about it herself. Below is what our pantry looked like before our organization.
I love decorating for holidays. I have a few options below that may inspire some of your Easter decorating!
This recipe is a very healthy breakfast alternative. You can also freeze the melon ahead of time to save money!
Currently, our local Neighborhood Walmart is testing a new service. This service allows you to order your groceries online, select a pickup date, arrive, and a Walmart employee will deliver and load them in your car for you. We tested this service late February for our March monthly grocery visit.
This wreath is a fairly easy wreath to make and can be used not only on a door, but also as wall decor. It only took me a few hours to make.
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!
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.
