As we gather together with family and friends on this happy occasion, let us keep Jesus in our hearts today and always. Thank you God for sending your only begotten Son to save us… peace on earth and good will to men. Continue Reading →

The rush is on for me to get everything done in the next two days before Christmas! When it came to gift wrapping I kept the packaging for my homemade Christmas gifts as simple as possible by staying mainly with white wrapping paper and red twine and ribbons.

The Christmas season is here and I hope you are enjoying the many wonderful things that make this time of year special. For the past few weeks I’ve been gathering, preparing, and making gifts, and I will be sharing a little more about this soon. One of the items included in each gift package was these buttery semi-soft caramels with sprinkling of fleur de sel.

Making and decorating gingerbread cookies and gingerbread houses has been a part of our family Christmas tradition for many years. It’s that time again. With a few basic Christmas cookie cutters {pine trees, stars and gingerbread man} and white Royal icing we’ve been busy baking and decorating gingerbread cookies {recipes for gingerbread cookies and royal icing, here}. I’ve adjusted this recipe over the years and have found a good balance in the flavor and texture. The cookie dough has a sweet flavor and not too spicy for the kids. When baked the cookies will hold theirs shapes well. They are great for eating, decorating, and for giving as gifts.

The Christmas season is upon us. Bill, the kids, and I will be driving out to visit the Christmas tree farm this weekend; the decorations will be brought out from storage; and the sounds of Christmas music will be heard throughout the house. As the shopping season begins, We wanted to share some of our favorite gift ideas. The products have been tested, used, and enjoyed by us or our dog, Glory. It was fun putting the list together and we hope they will help you cross off one or more Christmas presents this season.
