Everyone has favorite quotes or sayings they absolutely love.
They could be inspiring, funny or motivational, and almost always elicit positive and powerful emotions from within us.
This one I probably say the most…
WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU
MAKES YOU STRONGER
It reminds me to see the positive side to something I’ve experienced that was hard, negative, or hurtful.
This one has changed my behavior…
WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU WEREN’T AFRAID?
Want to know my new favorite?
We all have our favorite childhood books or the ones we enjoyed reading aloud to our own children.
If you’re like me, you love certain titles so much you want other children to read them and fall in love with them too!
When thinking about what to give my best friend for her baby shower gift, I wanted it to be meaningful and special. I reflected on what things my two boys really liked when they were babies and also what things I really enjoyed as a new parent… Definitely books!
Certain books I’ve read to my boys more than 100 times so I decided to give her copies of the children’s books that were favorites in my own family.
I picked out a cute wooden crate and glued painted wooden letters that spelled MY FIRST LIBRARY.
I work in an office of nearly 100 employees and someone is having a birthday just about every other day.
Birthdays are listed on a monthly employee calendar which make it easy to send a birthday wish by email. But there are times when you want to recognize a co-worker’s birthday with a birthday gift.
Even though there are five different departments at my place of employment, we all work together from time to time and get to know one another’s likes and dislikes.
This year, Jody came up with a great idea for Tiffany’s birthday. Tiff LOVES cereal and eats four bowls a day!
On the way to work the morning of Tiffany’s birthday, Jody picked up two boxes of Tiff’s favorite cereals, Froot Loops and Frosted Krispies, with a half-gallon of milk.
Jody tied it all together with a ribbon and when Tiff saw the gift sitting on her desk, she was thrilled! Continue Reading
I have this recipe for Roasted Pecans that is so good and so simple. You might say it’s easy peasy!
When you make it, your entire home smells like heaven. I’ve shared the recipe in a previous post because Homemade Roasted Pecans make great gifts.
My friend, Jacqueline, and her husband recently invited us to their housewarming party. Since Jacqueline has asked me about my cooking before, I thought she would enjoy receiving one of my favorite recipes.
Why not make it easier I thought and give her a whole kit for making the recipe?
A Make-A-Recipe Gift Basket – that would make a perfect housewarming gift!
Here is what I included for my friend’s housewarming gift to make roasted pecans:
One of the biggest joys of parenting is the opportunity to inject a sense of wonder and excitement into your kids’ childhood. It’s why we get up in the middle of the night to set out presents from Santa and to tuck money under the pillow in exchange for a tooth.
This thoughtful gift idea is a creative way to add a sense of magic and mystery to a young child’s birthday or Christmas gift experience!
Almost every child has a favorite Disney character or animated character they just adore. My son is obsessed with Mickey Mouse and his clubhouse friends.
Queen Darlene remembered this and for my son’s birthday she gave him a card and a gift from Mickey Mouse and Friends. She made the birthday card herself and signed it “Mickey.”
What’s your favorite color of Starburst candy? Pink? Red? Yellow? Orange?
Pink for me! We all have our favorites.
The color or flavor we don’t like… yellow Starbursts for me… those usually stay uneaten in the bag or we give them away. Thankfully, my husband likes yellow Starbursts.
While my husband likes all of the flavors of Starburst candy, he doesn’t treat the different flavors of Airheads so equally.
The other day he mentioned how he wished the entire bag of Airheads candy he bought only contained the watermelon flavor. That’s his favorite!
My thoughtful gift idea light bulb immediately turned on in my head!
I searched the Internet, and there it was…. (cue heavenly angel sound effect)… a one pound bag of Airheads watermelon candy bars.
I’ve never seen single flavors of Airheads sold in any stores I’ve been inside. It’s always the assorted or variety pack. You gotta love the Internet and bulk candy options!
Did you know you can also buy single flavors of Starburst candy? Yep. I can buy a whole pound of pink strawberry Starbursts. Oh yeah, don’t mind if I do.
