Why have I have never tried making krispy treats with chocolate until now?! Talk about combining two yummy worlds, rich milk chocolate, cocoa and nom-worthy marshmallow goodness.

The dollar store is a wonderful place to find inspiration and tons of holiday decor all year long. I combine my dollar store finds with supplies from other stores and sources to make one of a kind home decor and gifts for way less. The dollar store find for this project was the plate. Here
Burlap? Check. Old picture frame with hideous oak stain (and no glass)? Check. A little paint, a stencil, paper, jute twine and a piece of cork? Check. Check. Last but not least, a pretty lone vintage fork I have had forever? Check! The hallway leading from my kitchen to the garage is a great place
This is a basic go to recipe for icing that can be altered and updated with different extracts, amounts of sugar used, and food coloring. I used it recently when I made some Rice Krispie Treats, cutting them out with a heart shape cookie cutter before icing them made yummy Valentine “cookies” that were fun

I love to pour over all of the gorgeous catalogs from Ballard Designs, One Kings Lane, and Pottery Barn, for decorating ideas and inspiration. But, the price tag that goes with all of the drool-worthy pretties is usually more than I would want to pay. I am fairly thrifty but will splurge on a classic

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share one of my favorite (and healthy!) treats with you today. We all are busy, and it is so easy to grab a fast snack that isn’t always very healthy. But, in five minutes you can throw together a yummy, calcium-rich snack that you can feel good about.
I have been wanting to make this for months, and while the design was in my head, the right materials had not come along yet. Until I unearthed a large framed cork board from my garage, a treasure from a neighbor’s yard sale. And, the fabric I had been looking for was discovered this

Sometimes I get a song stuck in my head. And it usually has absolutely nothing to do with anything except I find it humorous or entertaining. When I was working on this DIY Cloche, I kept humming the Beyonce “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” song. I have probably heard this song twice
Valentine’s Day is a really fun time to make pretty things {to give or keep!} Or better yet, both! I recently found this red heart at Dollar Tree, and I thought of about 473 different things I wanted to make with it. But a “Be Mine” Valentine was what I ended up with today.
