Resurrection Eggs {tutorial}

Good morning! Easter week is here. Yay! I love this time of year. We have a chance to really focus on our Savior and all he did for me & you! One of our favorite Easter traditions is sharing the Easter story using our Resurrection Eggs set. I am not the one that made this one up. I made our first set when my oldest was just a little guy when I was serving in the Young Women’s organization at church. We all made a set for our families at one of our activities. We’ve used it every year since. Let me show you how to make your own set. :)

Easy Personalized Stockings with My Cricut Explore Air 2 {tutorial}

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

Good morning! I can’t believe the holidays are just around the corner! This year has flown by! I’m kind of in denial that it is already November. So crazy! Buuuut I know that I need to start thinking about Christmas and all the fun holiday festivities that are coming up. We have so many family traditions around the holidays, and my kiddos look forward to them every single year. One of our biggest traditions are stockings. We have a set of stockings that we have been using for a long time, but they don’t really fit our style anymore. I recently found these perfect farmhouse stockings when I was out & about, & I knew they would be perfect for our home. I also wanted to personalize each of them with our names. There is just something special about having your name on something. Don’t you think? That’s why I love having a Cricut Explore Air 2. It makes personalizing things like this so easy! It’s also great for personalized gifts and just about anything holiday related that you can dream up. Let me show you how I made these Easy Personalized Stockings. Let’s go!

Making Time for Family Dinner

I've partnered with Idahoan on this sponsored post and all opinions stated are my own. #SignatureRussets

Good morning! Let’s talk family tradition. :) We always have a big Sunday dinner with all the fixings' right after church. Usually we have a main dish like roast or chicken, rolls that have been rising on the stove & several side dishes to go along with that. Unfortunately, week days don’t always leave as much time to cook a big family dinner, but we do like to carry on the tradition of eating dinner together as a family. That’s why I love using a few short cuts (like Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes) to make quick & delicious weekday meals. Idahoan potatoes help make every meal taste like Sunday. In addition to letting you know about these new potatoes from Idahoan, I’ll be sharing some tips on Making Time for Family Dinner. Let’s get started!
