The holidays are upon us! Wahoo! Can you believe it? I love, love, love the holidays. I love spending time together with our families. My husband & I both come from large families, so usually when either of our families get together for the holidays we all pitch in & bring a dish or two for the meal. Of course, the most important part of the meal is the dessert, right? ;) Today I’d love to share two of our family’s favorite holiday desserts. First I’ll be sharing this yummy Coconut Candy Bar Brownies recipe, and then I’ll share a delicious recipe from my husband’s sister ~Triple Chocolate Delight. Yum!

8 DIY Projects for Your Home
It’s November! To most people it means Thanksgiving but for me it just means that my hubby will be gone for a week long hunting trip sometime during the month! ha! ;) The only thing that I like about him being gone is that it does give me plenty of time to do a simple DIY project around the house! Yay! Last year I repainted the living room, and this year I’m thinking about totally redoing our pantry!

#ad Chicken Nugget Dipping Sauce Party ~ A Fun Kids Meal #LoveUrNuggets
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. #LuvUrNuggets
We are huge Tyson Chicken Nugget fans at our house! Some of my kiddos even refuse to eat anything but Tyson. My kiddos love them because they are a yummy, fun food. I love Tyson Chicken Nuggets because they make an easy dinner or easy lunch. I just serve them with a veggie & a salad, and then we are good to go. I love making them on those busy school nights when we have other activities to get to. So we were super excited on a recent trip to Walmart when we spotted TWO new Tyson Chicken Nugget varieties ~ Cheesy Chicken Nuggets & Spicy Chicken Nuggets! So we decided to celebrate these new flavors by having a fun Chicken Nugget Dipping Sauce Party. So keep reading to see what we did! :)

Keep reading to see how easy it was for our family (& YOU) to give back to children in our community. :)
