Happy December!!! Welcome to My New Blog

Happy December and welcome to my new blog!  It just made sense to change the name of my blog to my own name and Brandon’s blog has been changed too.  It will make it easier for people to remember and find.  I have been busy getting this blog up and running.  Hubby did all the file moving, name registering and all the really technical stuff  (Thank You!!!).  I have been busy finding a theme I like and setting it all up.  I am still...

Marshmallow Snowballs

Marshmallow Snowballs

Each Thanksgiving we seem to be surrounded by a theme.  This year’s theme turned out to be “The Search for Brandon’s Grandma’s “Puffball” Recipe”.  It was prompted by Brandon’s cousin posting on her Facebook page that she was looking for the recipe to surprise her dad.  Brandon replied I had a similar recipe and I would send it along to her. Grandma’s recipe has been elusive.  Brandon...

Some Early Christmas Gifts

We have been celebrating Christmas for a while here.  While we were on vacation this year Brandon bought me a couple Christmas gifts that we’ve been enjoying ever since. First is Cinderella’s Castle decorated for Christmas.  It even has some snow! We saw this castle in only one gift shop in the Magic Kingdom and knew if we didn’t buy it we’d never see it again. We also bought a Haunted Mansion…… I know...

This Year’s Gingerbread House…..

This Year’s Gingerbread House…..

With all the snow we have been getting, it sure does look like Christmas.  The house is decorated, gifts are bought, now it is time to start baking. So with our blizzard like weather last week I decided to make this year’s gingerbread house.  I looked around online and decided that I didn’t want to try to make something elaborate I wanted to make something simple.  Something that wouldn’t take two weeks to complete!  I...
