Candy Cookies

Are you ever at a loss as to what to do with all of your candy from Halloween?

I mean, of course you could just shove it in your mouth every time you walk past the candy bowl...that's what I like to do. But I figured if I magically turned all of that candy into cookies, we could eat half and give the rest away. Or put them in the freezer for later :)



Here is the recipe I used from Sally's Baking Addiction.

Instructions were to chop the baby Butterfingers, but in an effort to save yourself from extra dishes, feel free to use a meat tenderizer. I gave them all two light whacks and they were perfectly crumbly. Oh, also, I used ten instead of eight...rebel yell.




Feel free to make a gooey chewy cookie tower while you're at it.

They turned out melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Please don't take my word for it, you have to try. It's only 6 ingredients. You probably already have them in your cabinet. (Yes, I moonlight as a professional cookie pusher)

The recipe says to use an ungreased cookie sheet, but you will have to grease it or use a sheet of aluminum foil, because these puppies definitely stuck to the ungreased sheet.

Here are a few more recipes using other chocolate candies you might have left over.


Kit Kat Cake (say that five times fast)







Now, if only there was something to do with banana Laffy Taffy. Come back and let me know if you try any!

Pregnancy: Surviving the First Trimester


The first trimester was not fun. I suppose that the first month and a half really doesn't count, because I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was about a week late and took a test. 

About 2 months was when it started to be not so fun. That was when the sickness started. 'Morning' sickness...ha. 'All day all night' sickness for is more like it. Here are a few things that helped me through, in case you're in the same position as I was.

Hello my little gremlins and ghouls :) 

What are your plans this weekend?

The lovely ladies I work with are throwing a little baby shower at the barn tomorrow, I'm super excited to get to see everyone all together before taking my maternity leave. Bonus...horses are involved. Other than a few projects around the house to finish up, it should be a pretty relaxing weekend. 

Here are some links to enjoy with your morning vice;



You have to check out this funny guide to trading candy.

What's the best dog breed for you?

Yes to all of these mac n' cheese recipes.




Pretty inspiration for decorating your front porch this fall. 


I hope you have a great weekend!

Halloween Movies You Shouldn't Live Without

Since we're pretty busy in the summer, we put our cable on hold and only use Netflix on our TV. BUT, for these next two months, I had to turn the cable on. 

There's something comforting about all of the nostalgic movies, holiday music stations, Hallmark shows, Christmas movie previews, and cooking shows whipping up Thanksgiving meals... even the news gets better

Here are my favorite Halloween movies I'm looking forward to catching.


7. Casper




6. Corpse Bride




5. Halloweentown 



4. Practical Magic



3. Rocky Horror Picture Show



2. The Nightmare Before Christmas



1. Hocus Pocus



What are some of your favorites?

Baby Shower

Hello Lovelies :)

My sister, with the help of my grandma and a couple others, threw us a baby shower a couple of weeks ago. It was so beautiful I couldn't even believe it. It was very casual, but her adorable touches just made it so perfect. Baby and I were surrounded by love of friends and family and it was such a wonderful day.

I thought I'd share some pictures, if you're interested...
