Tomorrow the littles will be thrilled to receive a box of chocolates AND money for Valentine’s Day! I found the little heart shaped chocolate boxes in the dollar spot at Target. I raided Honey’s wallet (why DID he have so many $1 bills?!?! :-) ) and coin cache and folded up a few bills and… Read More
I whipped up a batch of these cool whip hearts last year and they were SO easy and such a success that I couldn’t not do them again this year! Thaw a tub of cool whip, mix in a few drops of red food coloring, spread in a parchment lined pan, refreeze and then use… Read More

Seeing as candy cigs are so hard to come by these days, we substituted conversation… Read More
