Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts
This recipe for Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts is a fun tradition I started our first year of marriage. Calling it spoiling my husband, but I call it providing an option for his favorite treat. When we came home from our honeymoon, I thought it would be a fun idea...
12 things I wish someone had told me about visiting Disney
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, our family took a once in a lifetime trip to Disney World. I don’t say that because I mean we are never going back, although it might be a while. But, four generations of the same family were in the same parks for the same 4 days...

Slow Cooker Venison Stroganoff
At the beginning of January, my sister-in-law and I got together and set up a facebook group for New Year, New Meals. It’s so easy to get in a rut when it comes to forming our weekly meal plans. It’s hard to pull dinner together every week, but I was so excited to...

Candy Bar Cake Bars
I can’t be the only one with a bowl sitting on my counter full of that bottom of the stocking candy that we didn’t eat while we were opening presents on Christmas day. It stares me down all day long and I”m pretty good about it until Mr. McKinney comes home and...
