Copycat Honey Baked Ham
One of my most favorite holiday dishes has always been a Honey Baked Ham. The only problem is they are so darn expensive. We are a family of 8 so we need a pretty large ham to feed our family size. To buy a ham from the Honey Baked store would cost us about $100! That’s a 300% mark up from my cost of a ham purchased from Costco. The even crazier part is the fact that making a Honey Baked Ham with the amazing crunchy glaze is actually really easy to make! There are a couple of ways to get the sweet crunchy glaze on you ham.

Homemade Berry Fruit Cups
This is a sponsored post, all opinions are honest and my own. I love finding unique ways to make special memories with my kids. With Covid-19 I don’t want my kids to grow up and only remember that time they couldn’t leave their house, or go to the park. I want them to remember how there was a period of time that we got to spend an extra amount of time together as a family, and we made some super awesome memories during that time. Having 5 kids ages 3-16 years old and expecting baby #6, finding activities “at home” that appeals to everyone and isn’t and excessive amount of…

Easy Snow Ice Cream Recipe
There is nothing more exciting then waking up to a beautiful snowy landscape and the kids screaming SNOW DAY! As a mom of 5 kiddos, snow days come with pros and cons. Of course I love having my kids home while we enjoy a snuggly day inside watching the snow as it falls. However, with kids ranging in ages 2-15 years old cabin fever becomes a very real thing. One thing I have learned through the years is to keep a few things on hand when I know a snow day may be in the horizon. Half and half, a craft project and some hot cocoa mix are just a…
