My front door was looking very sorry for itself after I took down and packed away the Christmas Wreath. SO I decided that I would challenge myself to make a wreath for each of the seasons this year.
My inspiration for January was a wreath I saw on Instagram by Snugglefeet. I decided on this one as it used up things that I already had on my stash and all I needed to buy was the polystyrene ring.
It only took me an hour to make and was really fun to do too.
Celebrating a child’s birthday is always a time of great excitement, both for the little one, who eagerly awaits this day and for his or her parents, who love to unleash their imagination in order to create an unforgettable party for everyone.During the summer, this can often be easier.

This raspberry surprise cake is straightforward to make and deliciously moist, light and berry-filled. It is a take on a blueberry ricotta cake and the surprise is you substitute the ricotta for cottage cheese, which makes it high in protein too. You can substitute the raspberries for blueberries or other seasonal berries, but my husband loves raspberries so they have our hearts here.

I am a big fan of essential oils and use them at home all the time, so I thought I would round up some family-friendly essential oil crafts that are safe and fun to make.

I love that there are so many more ways than just an oil diffuser to use your […]
