31 Hauntingly Cute Costumes for your Kids!

It is that time of the year again to start thinking about what your little ghouls and ghosts will dress up as for Halloween. I love to have plenty of time to get the perfect costumes for my kids.

Spooktacular Halloween Printable

I just love when I can pull out all of my holiday decorations this time of the year. Halloween is such a fun time to remember what it is like to be a kid. I have people tell me all of the time that they love how I decorate for all of the holidays and make it feel like their home when they were younger. I guess that that is just the kid in me, and I am glad that I can make it fun for others as well.

I like that I can find cute picture decorations to add to my Halloween decor, but this year I thought that I would make some of my own.

And I thought that I would share them with all of you! You can find them here.

What ways do you like to decorate for Halloween?

Red, White and Blueberry Trifle

I decided that I want to try something new for the 4th of July. Because hey, how often do you get to make red, white, and blue food? I wanted it to be something special!

So I went to my good pal Pinterest and took a look around and this is what I found!

YUMMY!!

That is all that I can say. In fact as I sit here and write this I am eating it for breakfast.

You can find the recipe here. I forgot to take a picture of mine so this picture is from her website. I highly recommend this yummy treat!

What is your favorite fourth of July treat?

How to Can Pineapple

Canning is one of those arts that not many people know how to do. I have been canning for years now and I have learned that most things that I can taste way better then the same item that you can get from the grocery store in a can. One of those things is canned pineapple. Once you start you won't be able to stop and it is so easy that really anyone can do it!

DIY Wainscoting

I knew when we build our house that I wanted to do something with my walls. I also new that I wanted it to be something different. It seemed that everyone was doing the same things and I wanted something different. I don't really like to follow the crowd. When I saw a picture of this wainscoting I was sold. I loved everything about it. I have it on two walls so far in my house and I have plans to put it up on four more.

If you can use a saw and make 45 degree cuts then you can do this!

Germany.... My 2nd Home!!!!

Oh I am so home sick for Germany. I know that I only lived there for four years, but they were good years and I learned to love the people and the country.
