Good evening! I hope you all are having a lovely week so far. We’ve made a couple of batches recently of these puff pastry hearts filled (some filled with chocolate frosting and some with Nutella) and they’ve been a huge hit so thought we’d share them here on the blog as well seeing how they make a great little Valentine’s Day treat.
Valentine’s Day DIY Heart Garland
When the girls were little I used to have fun adding some little Valentine’s Day touches throughout the house but honestly it’s been years since I’ve done that. I’ve done some Valentine’s baking the last few years (like this cake and these cupcakes and these mini cakes) but not really any decorating.
Good morning! I hope you all have had a nice week and that your 2025 is off to a great start. We got a whole lot of snow to start off this week which has been great for baking. We’ve made chocolate chip skillet cookies, peanut butter cookies and yummy rolls.
Good morning! Welcome to our Holiday Housewalk 2024. Every year we do a holiday tour. Usually we do it in early December but I’m pretty behind this year so just finally now getting to it.

Every year since the girls were little we have made gingerbread houses. It’s one of my favorite traditions we do each Christmas. We used to make more traditional looking ones but we often had trouble with them falling apart – particularly when the girls were little until we switched over to these A-frame ones from Trader Joe’s several years ago and now we always use that kit because they are so easy to work with!
Good afternoon! Our blue bedroom decorated for Christmas is the last space left to share this holiday season (and then I plan on sharing a little tour with snippets from all of the rooms). Last year during the holidays we were still sleeping with our mattress on the floor so for the first time in years and years we didn’t bother to put up any Christmas touches in our room so it was nice being able to do that again this year.
