Every year, I have a list of holiday treats that I make. One of those treats includes my Grandmother’s recipe for Almond Bars, otherwise known as Desperation Cake.

There are many ways to show festivity during the holidays and one of those ways is start your decorating from outside in! Take what you already have outside and make it festive!

During the month of December, our family loves to sit together and watch Christmas movies! My 7 year old daughter is really into movies lately and my 4 year old boy, well, he is in the room with us, watching bits and pieces. But either way, it is a great way to spend some good quality family time together! Typically, we watch movies on Saturday night. We make some appetizer/finger foods for dinner (often from M&M Meats because we love their selection!) and we eat in front of the movie. What holiday movies will you be watching with your children … Continue reading →

Typically, the exchange would go on for a week and being that teachers can definitely be a creative bunch, it was always SO much fun sneaking around and placing fun treats everywhere for your “person”! This year, I participated in an online version of Secret Santa with a great bunch of blogger friends where we mailed a gift to our “person”. It was so much fun going shopping for someone and anticipating the mail to arrive, wondering if that would be the day my Secret Santa … Continue reading →

At least once, we will also hop in our car and slowly drive through other local neighbourhoods. One thing that I’ve been impressed with this year are what some people are doing to their garage doors! The holiday decor that I have noticed on and around garage doors stand out all day and night! I’ve seen seasonal painted doors, garlands, lights and more! I noticed … Continue reading →
