Coffee Filter Juice Box Turkeys
This is a sponsored post. All opinion and ideas are my own. The past several months I have been insanely sick with my pregnancy. I have been trying to balance being a mom of 5, pregnant, excruciatingly sick and homeschooling all of my kids to boot. As hard as it has been these past several months, am so thankful for the time I have had with my kids these past several months. Now that our sweet baby Aesyn is here I have so much more energy for my other little kids. So today I got to spend some one on one time with my two little boys making Coffee Filter…

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…

Homemade Pumpkin Puree
I have ALWAYS made my own pumpkin puree. There are several reasons why – it’s cheaper, easy to make but the biggest reason is it simply tastes better! There is just such a better flavor when making your pumpkin goodies when using a homemade pumpkin puree. There is honestly not a single brand of canned Pumpkin Puree that can even come close to comparing to homemade! I do have this one tip though….make sure to purchase your pie pumpkin early November or you may not be able to find one for your Thanksgiving dinner. I usually purchase a few pumpkins in late October/early November and keep it as decor…
