Surprise Christmas Family Night Idea with Hot Chocolate!

November 7, 2012 by Jill Leave a Comment

Hot Chocolate is always a treat at our house, but especially when we surprise our children with homemade hot cocoa and a road trip to view the magnificent Christmas lights.

This is one of our favorite Christmas traditions each year!

Already for bed in their warm pajamas, we mysteriously announce that we are going to take yummy hot chocolate in to go cups. Bring a thermos for refills. And yes, hot chocolate works wonderful in sippy cups, too.

I always make sure I have a new Christmas cd in the cd player in the car. We usually purchase a new one each year. We have developed quite a collection.

One year I was feeling extra merry and brought Christmas cookies to eat while my little ones were enjoying the beautiful Christmas lights in the car.

Yes, it’s a bit messy, but it’s so fun and it only happens once a year! So, don’t be a scrooge!

Easy Autumn Mix!

October 22, 2012 by Jill Leave a Comment

Autumn Mix is the perfect snack for this time of year. It’s super easy and looks so very festive!

I threw this together for our Ladies Retreat and it was a HUGE hit! And the best part is you can throw and mix anything your little heart desires.

If for some odd reason you have left-overs, store in a tight zip lock bag.

Here’s what I put in my Autumn Mix.

bugles
chex cereal
m & m’s (they were out of the autumn colors)
Scooby graham snacks (wanted to put chocolate teddy grahams)
autumn mix brach’s candy
caramel popcorn

As you can see, you can be as creative as you want. I think Reese’s pieces would look perfect in there, too!

So, what are you going to put in your autumn mix?

Don’t forget to pin this super easy festive autumn mix!

I love crock pot recipes, especially in the colder months.

Being a homeschool mama, collecting and trying new crock pot recipes has become an obsession with me. My crock pot has become my best friend. I use it almost daily. It has made my life so much easier. I just throw in the ingredients and supper will be ready within a few hours. It is especially helpful on Sundays after church.
