  • American Flag Mini Pies

    American Flag Mini Pies

    I love making these little American Flag pies this time of year! I like to make mini pies because personal pies are such a popular dessert-and they look so cute. When serving pie slices, especially my American flag pie, by the time you cut it and serve it, it doesn’t look like an American flag…

  • Patriotic Sugar Cookies

    Patriotic Sugar Cookies

    I love this time of year! The weather is warm, the kids are on vacation and we get to celebrate my favorite holiday the Fourth of July! I spend my Fourth of July’s in the beautiful little lakeside towns of western Michigan. It’s so heavenly. I’m always trying to think of cute little food ideas…

  • DIY Donut Bar Board

    DIY Donut Bar Board

    My daughter recently got baptized at church and for her little celebration, she asked for a donut bar. I liked the idea with just sticking to one treat instead of making cookies, getting fruit, having cut up veggies, etc. This was easy, just buy a bunch of donuts! Haha! And by a bunch, I mean…

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

    I love making ice cream treats during the summer. Recently I made these rollout chocolate chip cookies and I thought they would make the perfect ice cream sandwich cookie. Now, when you are making any dessert with ice cream, it’s tricky because that melting ice cream is a ticking time bomb for you haha! Luckily,…

  • Wooden Sign Board

    Wooden Sign Board

    When I was at Magnolia Silos in Waco, I bought this metal “gather” sign. I love the metal lettering and wanted to make a wall art that I could hang in my dining room because when I think of “gathering” I think about a dining room. By making my own wall art I can choose…

    I’m so excited to be heading to Michigan in a few weeks and every time I visit my hometown, I make sure to load up on American Spoon Foods products. All of their products are made from locally grown foods. I had never had the pear preserves before but thought it would be perfect for…

  • Laundry Room Makeover

    Laundry Room Makeover

    I have been wanting to makeover our laundry room since we moved in. It had faded vinyl tiles and always felt very dark and cramped. There was only one small ceiling light and no windows. I would love for every room in my house to feel open and bright-exactly the opposite of our current laundry…

  • Holiday Ice Cream Scoops

    Holiday Ice Cream Scoops

    These little ice cream scoops are one of my favorite holiday treats! By the time dessert comes around, people are usually stuffed anyway, so these little bites are a great alternative to a normal dessert. To make them, just scoop out some ice cream and form it in to a ball. You could use a melon…

  • Hot Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Sandwiches

    Hot Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Sandwiches

    Sweet treats are a perfect gift for friends, teachers and neighbors. I love making holiday cookies. And I also love hot chocolate, so I decided to combine the two for some Christmas cookies this year. I like the sandwich cookie because it makes a normal cookie a little bit more exciting.  These cookies are so good! I…
