Cranberry Candy Canes
by Lindsay on Dec 29, 2008 in recipes & kitchen tips
The Edmonds side of the family makes these traditionally on Christmas morning, and I wanted to continue the tradition as Aaron absolutely loves these little canes! I did find them quite scrumptious, and they should be for all the sugar they have…but splurging a little is okay with me for such special occasions! I share [...]

Frugally Re-using Greenery
by Lindsay on Dec 19, 2008 in frugal & simple
My neighbor inspired me with this cute idea. Rather than throwing out her old wreath from last year, she kept it and reused it this year. Her wreath was actually real greenery. Yes, it was a bit dried out. Her solution? Spray paint it and hang a few cute ornaments on it! Looks brand new! [...]
