A Fond Farewell

The time has come. It's been an amazing 10.5 years of blogging, but all good things must come to an end, right? This is something I've been thinking about for months.  When will it be time to say goodbye to blogging? I have absolutely LOVED blogging.  It has been such a fun & a creative outlet for me.  I have loved sharing our lives with you, sharing recipes, printables, parties I've thrown and other day to day randomness with you.

Homemade Vanilla Extract + Cyber Week Deals

I don't know about you, but I love baking.  I go through A LOT of vanilla extract each year.  Real vanilla extract is expensive! Anywhere between $8-$12 a bottle.  Years ago I heard about making your own vanilla extract, and it is so easy!  You only need 2 ingredients.  I thought I would share how to make it and it also makes a great gift idea for this time of year. Who wouldn’t be happy to receive a bottle of this?   It makes the perfect hostess gift when you are invited to a Holiday Party, a great gift for your child’s teacher, office staff, neighbors, etc!  Here is what you need to make 12 (2oz) bottles of Vanilla Extract:  Vodka (use the cheap stuff!!!) Make sure it is at least 80 proof  10 Vanilla Beans (make sure they are B grade) I got mine HERE 12 (2oz) Glass Bottles. I got mine HERE Mini Funnel. I got mine HERE Personalized labels. I got mine HERE (Nancy is amazing to work with!) Bakers Twine Scissors Thin Black Sharpie  Dire...
