I love these decorated and iced lemon gingerbread cookies!

Lemon Gingerbread Easter Cookies

By

Thanks to Ann Clark for providing Mom Home Guide with the quality cookie cutters used in this post. My teen daughters and I made gingerbread cookies for the first time ever last Christmas. We loved the cookies so much! Which got us thinking -- why is gingerbread often reserved just for Christmas? We thought gingerbread cookies would be equally as fun (and delicious) for Easter! I reached out to Ann Clark, a Vermont-based maker of tin-plated steel cookie cutters. All cookie cutters are made from USA-made tin plated steel and are certified food safe. Ann Clark sent me the adorable collection Continue reading...

Gluing and Framing a Jigsaw Puzzle

By

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month, I chose to glue and frame a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that my daughters completed together. The puzzle sat on our big farmhouse kitchen table for a while. I had to figure out how to glue and frame the puzzle, and I also fought off an awful cold virus!  Once I was healthy again, it was time to tackle that puzzle! My inspiration for how Continue reading...

Garden Gnome Spring Tiered Tray

By

This post may contain affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.  If you spend a lot of time on Instagram and Pinterest, you've probably noticed tiered trays are popular. A tiered tray has 2-3 trays stacked above each other on a single stand. You can DIY a tiered tray, or you purchase one. My 3 Tier Serving Tray is from Amazon. Tiered trays are fun to decorate because with tiered trays, a little decor goes a long way — you are essentially decorating a really small space. So, it's quite easy and fun to change your tiered tray's decor on a whim. I find that often I can use supplies Continue reading...

Thanks to Amara.com for providing me with the duvet cover and pillowcases featured in this review. (I received product in exchange for my review.) All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own.

Welcome back to the Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop! Once a month I get together with my. blogging friends for this fun hop. For the hop, we each try a project, craft or recipe inspired by Pinterest.

I made the dough on Friday, and on Saturday, we baked and decorated our gingerbread men. I have to admit, that my daughters did most of the work after I made the dough! They had a lot of fun cutting out the gingerbread men and decorating them together. I think they Continue reading...
