We were excited to receive the new collectable ASMR range from Craze Sensations to try at home. This is…

Sink or float egg?

Posted on March 20, 2021 by jenny

Posted on March 14, 2021October 17, 2021 by jenny

I love my Cricut machine and have been using a lot for projects around our home. One thing I really wanted to do was update the storage jar labels on all my glass storage jars. We did our kitchen a few years ago and put our dry goods into glass jars. I’ve used sticky labels…

School dinner cake recipe

Posted on March 13, 2021March 14, 2021 by jenny
