Homemade Quilts

I love watching my kids snuggle one another. I love seeing then snuggle with a quilt I made. 

We are reminding my craft room right now so that I can make many more quilts for my children.

Pinterest Wins and Fails

The chocolate Christmas trees came out perfect. I will definitely be making them again. 

The chocolate chip and bacon cookies did not turn out as good. The bacon flavor was not strong enough. 

I actually made them for a friend who loves bacon. So it is definitely a recipe I will work on again.

Stop It

Dear Jacob, 

   Do you remember saying that you should not put weight on your leg? I am assuming he probably meant you should not fight your big brothers too. Do you remember how you broke your leg? 

Love,

Homemade Candles

I love trying out new things. I see a new idea and I have to try it. 

This recipe is super easy. Fill a jar three quarters full of shortening and melt, melt one crayon and add to shortening. Add a teaspoon of your favorite scent and stir. We then inserted a candle wick. Then we put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. We burned the candles the next day.

We even made these when friends came over.

Two More Weeks

Today the doctor said two more weeks on his new cast. 

Two more weeks of no weight on those tiny (dirty) toes. We can do this. I am so grateful for siblings who will teach him to crotchet to keep him busy. 

Can I say while I am disappointed I am grateful for the time we get to love on him and work as a family to keep him busy.
