I can't thank Regions Bank enough for sponsoring my little DIY Hot Chocolate Gift Idea that I'm sharing with you today, through Mom It Forward! #RegionsGreetings Every year, I seem to over-do it financially, when it comes to gift giving. Why? Why in the world do we do that to ourselves? This year, I've really thought about how I can still be the "gift-giver," that I want to be, without breaking the bank. DIY gift ideas are ALL OVER Pinterest. I thought, "Why can't I spend pennies, making something that would...

Holiday Baking Kit

Throughout the year, I'm always looking for ways to incorporate "acts of kindness," activities for my kiddos & I to do together.

New Neighbor Gifts Pumpkin Bread

I absolutely LOVE the subdivision that we live in now. I'll sit on the back patio in the morning, drinking my coffee, and it's SUPER quiet, with maybe a runner or biker, trolling by. (Notice I'm not the one running by...lol, but rather sitting on my rear drinking coffee.) Neighbors That Deserve a Treat... I love our neighbors even more. Yes, we've only lived here about 2 weeks, but through the whole building process, our neighbors were so friendly, and understanding of all of our construction tasks. Big trucks, loud machinery, I'm sure trash blew in to their yard at least...
