Yum! I’m so excited to share our first holiday recipe of the season!! I made these over the weekend and they were a HIT! These donuts are moist, rich & chocolatey and you can leave out the coffee (just sub more cocoa powder) if you’re worried your kids won’t like them. They are also vegan […]

I’m excited to finally share the easy DIY advent calendar I made this year for the girls!!! In the past I’ve gone all out buying little treats for each day, but to be honest we have so many junk toys I just wanted to keep it simple with CANDY. So each bag has a little […]

The first of my holiday DIYs!!!! I had too much fun making these little pom pom ballerinas! You could easily make them animals or holiday characters (santa, angel, reindeer, elves) instead. I’ve shown them here without the string attached to hang them on a tree, but you can use thin white string or clear fishing […]

I can’t take credit for this suuuuuper simple breakfast idea since I found it on Pinterest a few years ago – but it’s been a hit with my girls! All you do is make cinnamon rolls (pre-made over here) and when you take them out of the oven and they are still warm stick in […]

We shared our Christmas Morning Fairy Bread a few years ago and I got the idea to make heart shaped bread for Valentine’s Day last week. This ‘recipe’ couldn’t be easier and Piper acts like it’s seriously the BEST treat. I think it’s the sprinkles :) Fairy bread is popular in Australia, the name confuses […]

Looking for a really cute Valentine’s Day treat for teachers or babysitters, or a girlfriend? I wanted to share what we are doing this year – I’m picking up Starbucks gift cards and sticking them inside these cute pink cups. The only downfall with these pink disposable coffee cups (from Amazon) is that you have […]

These little holiday treat crackers are so easy to make – they don’t actually ‘pop’ like the ones you buy in the store do – but making them allows you to customize what’s inside! Use these for small gifts, place settings or stocking stuffers!  If you’re looking for more holiday ideas……Frozen Hot Chocolate, Peppermint Oreo […]

The other night I asked for ideas on Instagram for Christmas Brunch and I don’t think I’ve ever had so many responses!
