Kleenex Angel {sick day craft}
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Kleenex but all opinions are my own. #pmedia #KleenexTarget #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO
It’s cold & flu season, annnnd if you have kiddos (like me!) you probably already knew that! haha! ;) With my 5 kiddos it seems like just about every other week or so someone has a cough or the sniffles. Usually when my kiddos are sick especially if they have a fever along with that runny nose I’ll try to quarantine them in my bedroom. I try to keep all the germs in one room. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much, but I try. ;) Anyways, while they are in lock down I try to keep them entertained with some fun movies, yummy snacks & a craft or two to pass the time. Of course, they’ll have a big box of Kleenex, a favorite blanket & toy in there as well. Annnd sometimes we even use the Kleenex in our craft projects! Today I’m excited to show you how to make these easy Kleenex angels ~ a perfect sick day craft (or really anytime craft!). :)

How to Sew a Bow from I Seam Stressed {contributor}
Hi there! I'm Tasha and I can usually be found over at I Seam Stressed, a blog showcasing my passion for sewing. I'm a mom of two, so most of the sewing I do is for my kids. Occasionally I'll get a wild hair and sew something for myself or my home, but sewing for children is what I find most rewarding.
Today I'm sharing a tutorial for a quick, basic sewing project that can be used in nearly any craft medium: BOWS! This might sound silly, but I've always been interested in the endless styles, fabrics, and scale of bows. No two bows are alike! After playing around with a few different dimensions, I think I've found my perfect bow. Instead of making you scroll through countless step-by-step photos, I've put together a short video tutorial. If you need more time with any step, just pause the video!

I introduced you to my youngest sister, Megan a few months ago when I convinced her to attend SNAP blogging conference with me last spring! She’s cute, crazy, young & so much fun to be around! Totally opposite of me….I’m kind of old & boring! ha! She does makes me feel like a 20 something year old again though. Especially when we are making middle of the night runs to Denny’s, going into the big city for a night out or running down 3 flights of stairs getting to our seats for a concert. haha! ;) Sometimes it can be a little tricky trying to pick out the best gift for her since we do like such different things, but recently I found the perfect holiday gift for her! Yay! Keep reading to see how I put together this White Diamonds Perfume Gift Box for my sister (& see where I bought it for a great price). :)

Thanksgiving is next week! Eek! :) I love when my family gets together but nothing stresses me out more than cooking for such a large group. It’s a little scary! haha!

Do you remember my famous lasagna recipe story? ;)
Well, today I am excited to share one of my family’s favorite recipes that I know will turn out perfectly yummy every single time. My mom would make Southern Chess Pie (or Jeff Davis Pie) for us all the time growing up. So keep reading to get this yummy recipe, hear one more holiday tip AND I have a fun giveaway for you, too! Yay!
