Tips To Have The Most Productive Day Ever!

  Today, I’m sharing 5 tips on HOW to have the most productive day! Many of my tips have taken years to master... Don’t give up and you don’t have to do them all at the same time... you can work on one at a time. 1) WAKE UP ON TIME I rarely set an alarm and I tend to wake up the same time everyday. I don’t have black out shades in our bedroom or wear eye covers to sleep. I’m a sunlight kinda gal and the sunshine wakes me up and gets me going. 2) GIVE YOURSELF 45 MINUTES EACH MORNING WITHOUT CELLPHONE, TV or INTERNET This gives me clarity, it gives me time to collect my thoughts. I either am taking a walk or am getting … [Read more...]

Strawberry Sweetheart Pie

    I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you! It is so delicious and so adorable. I cheated just a bit and used a store bought Pillsbury pie crust but I did shared a great recipe above if you’d rather make your own. I’ve never made a strawberry pie before and feel like it almost should be something I’d make around the Fourth of July. I would probably make the top crust lattice for a Fourth of July party but because it’s almost Valentine’s Day I decided to use a small heart cookie cutter and cut out hearts all over the top crust. I baked the pie at 350 degrees for 45 minutes and added tinfoil for the last 10 … [Read more...]

Christmas Movie List

Every year, I love settling down with a cozy blanket and a hot cup of Cocoa to watch Christmas movies. We have 12 days until Christmas Day. Join me as I watch one movie a night until Christmas. I created a easy guide to help you pick your favorites or to help you pick something NEW! Click on the title of the movie to watch a trailer on YouTube. I have found that on my cable provider I can pre-record Christmas movies and watch them later. I head to the channel, then guide, scroll the guide until I find one I want to watch then, hit record... some favorite movies are on FreeForm. (Disney) I gave a "star" on the movies I've already watched. So, … [Read more...]

Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Ramekins | Gold Stand | Nail Polish I’ve never made soufflés before now! I just bought these adorable individual ceramic ramekins with lids and instantly thought Pumpkin Pies would be perfect. I couldn’t  figure out how to add the crust so I decided why not try crustless pies. They are amazing! Truth is I LOVE the crust of the pie probably better than the filling. I made the soufflés just like a regular pumpkin pie but baked it a bit differently. I poured the pumpkin mixture into each ramekin and then set the ramekins into a 9x13 baking dish. I boiled water on the stove in a separate pan and added it to the outside of the ramekins … [Read more...]
