When Your Husband Has Too Many Race Shirts

What do you do when your husband has too many race shirts and its filling up a 2nd closet?? No you don't make him donate them, you make a quilt!! 

What if you don't know how to make a quilt? Just do what I did, make one anyway! You will score even more points because he will know how hard you worked on it even though you had no idea how to make one. All those crooked squares are made with love. 






Then it's a win-win. You have more room in the closet and you are a little warmer at night.

Grandma's Cookies

When I think of Christmas I think of my Grandma's cookies. Christmas at my Grandma's was always so special. She always had her house decorated perfectly and beautifully and she made some amazing Christmas treats. 


Now that I'm older and in my own home, I have the stocking up, I have lots of her decorations up and her nativity set. It's been almost 10 years since being able to spend Christmas with my Grandma and I never want to forget how special she made it. 

This year I attempted to make lots of the treats she would make. With her recipes in tow I spent all day baking. It only made me appreciate all her hard work even more. 

These are for you Grandma! It may take me my whole life to make them as good as you made them but I will never give up!
