Homemade Lush Latte Massage Bar

December 19, 2017 by Mikki 10 Comments

When it comes to making homemade gifts in my house, the simpler they are the better. Putting together multi-step, detailed crafts has never been my forte, but I do enjoy putting a personal touch to my gift giving each year. That’s why I enjoy making simple gifts like this Lush Latte Massage Bar.

Thanks to my December Barlean’s Blog Ambassador Challenge, I got an extra push into creating a DIY gift that I could give out this year. Using their organic coconut oil and a few other essential ingredients, these fun, lush massage bars came together perfectly.

Pay It Forward ~ What The Season is All About ~Sharing the Joy

December 14, 2016 by Mikki 21 Comments

Thank you to the Stonyfield Blogger team for allowing me to be a part of this years Pay It Forward opportunity.

Being a blogger has a lot of wonderful perks. Great travel opportunities and trying out new products is a lot of fun, but being able to bless others because of it… well, that’s my favorite part.

This time of year seems to always bring to mind those who are struggling in our community, so as a family we like to try and make an extra effort to help where we can.

December 14, 2015 by Mikki 2 Comments

One of my ALL time favorite things to do at Christmas time is to watch all the old classic movies I grew up with.

Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, Frosty, Rudolph, and a few others are still the most adorable and heart warming movies I’ve ever seen.

This year marks the 45th Anniversary of some of these classics and there is a wonderful new collection set available now.

Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

November 11, 2014 by Mikki Leave a Comment

This looks like it’s going to be a funny, but also very inspiring movie to go see. I’m hoping to get the chance to check it out!
How about you? Are you going to go see Saving Christmas in the next two weeks?

Here’s some more information about the movie:

This Christmas, have your family join with Kirk Cameron’s family and dive headfirst into all the joy, dancing, celebration, feasting, imagination, and traditions that glorify the true “reason for the season.” KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS is an engaging story that provides a biblical basis for our time-honored traditions and celebrations, and the inspiration to stand strongly against a culture that wants to trivialize and eliminate the faith elements of this holy season. So take in the splendor; take in the majesty; take in the story. Take it all in… and let’s put Christ back in Christmas! KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS is in theaters for a limited engagement beginning November 14 for two weeks only!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…

December 5, 2011 by Mikki Leave a Comment

Things have been VERY busy around here..

Between my part time job and decorating this house for the first time, I sometimes don’t even know what day it is.

But we are having A LOT of fun dressing the house for Christmas!

Check out what we’ve done so far..

I LOVE the way the house looks at night.. so subtle but sooo pretty..

Once you walk onto the porch.. Mr. Snowman is there to meet you..

**Yard Sale Treasure – the two pre-lit trees on each side of the door were purchased at a yard sale for $1 a piece!! **

The living room looks ‘nice and cozy’ as one of the girls friends said…

** Yard Sale Treasures – The 10ft Pre-Lit tree was $20!!

Mantle decorations – chalkboard paint frame with fun saying – “May Your Days Be Merry & Bright” – homemade, framed quote from Elf “The Best Way to Spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear”

We also recently put in some really nice gas fire logs… warm & cozy.. definitely!

The Dining Room – still need to change out the tablecloth, but still looking good..

The Kitchen~ some window decorating and house collection on top of the cabinets

That’s it for now..

I’ll try to come back and post some pictures of our patio decorations soon.

Blessings to you and Merry Christmas!!
