Easy DIY Holiday Gift Idea for Neighbors: White Chocolate Covered Pretzels
For years, I have been baking cookies and treats for neighbors. It is a simple and sweet way to thank people who live near you for being welcoming and friendly neighbors. It’s the little things that bring smiles to people’s faces this time of year and I love being a small part of that. Some years, I go all out and bake 5 different types of cookies, but this year I kept it very simple and made delicious no bake white chocolate pretzels. The boys helped me by adding holiday sprinkles to the pretzels. It was such a fun and easy activity that turned out amazing! Supplies: Holiday shaped pretzels…

Christmas Presents for Four Year Old and Two Year Old Boys
‘Tis the time of year of holiday shopping. Admittedly, I am trying to get ALL of my shopping done before December 1st.

Before having kids, we traveled to family to have Christmas with a big group (either Drew’s family or mine). After having kids, still we have a rather large Christmas gathering just at our house instead of our parents. But this year, none of the grandparents wanted or were able to come to our house for Christmas. I’m not going to lie, at first, I…

Atlanta Snowstorm 2017
Hard to believe that metro Atlanta got over 6 inches of snow this weekend. We had an absolute blast playing in the snow and enjoying the winter weather. Reid was not so sure about the snow and wanted to be held the entire time, refusing to be put down! I was quite surprised because most kids seem to love the snow, but every kid is different and I’m sure in future years I will not be able to get him to come inside when it snows! Despite Reid’s anti-snow kick, we had a blast playing outside in the snow. We made a snowman, threw snowballs, watched Scout go crazy in…
