Old Fashioned Divinity and Seafoam Candy

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

This candy has been around for a while but I’ve never attempted to make it until I heard Papa reminiscing about it. I’ve meant to try it a few times but that was just the little push I needed to give it a go and my family is glad I did. They truly are divine and they almost melt in your mouth!

It’s a good thing that these will only be made for special occasions as they is FULL of SUGAR!

This recipe really isn’t too difficult but it can be a little tricky… having a candy thermometer and a stand mixer make it a little easier.

It takes about 30-45 minutes to make a batch from start to finish (including clean up) but I can take several hours for the candy to set up completely… try not to eat it all before then!

What are some old-fashioned recipes that you remember from your childhood? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below!

Wedding prep to Hurricane prep – updated with product links!

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

Oh, what a week!

We had such a crazy week preparing for the wedding this past weekend… it was beautiful and amazing! We definitely couldn’t have done it without the help and support of our family and friends… thank you all!

We don’t have a lot of pictures to share yet but I will share some when I can… I can’t wait to see them.

Unfortunately, a lot of the pictures were missing or lost somehow… I guess we should’ve had a backup person taking more photos.

I was so busy I didn’t even get to take many pictures at all. We did find a site, weduploader.com that gives you a QR code so that guests can upload pictures that they take… it’s pretty neat!

This first photos didn’t load properly so I’m trying again…

I saw this on FB and just had to share:

Just a reminder to keep doing what you are doing even when it’s tough. Don’t let society pressure you into doing/not doing things because old fashioned values seem to be going out of style!

We need our kids to be fair, caring, and responsible citizens of tomorrow. We need our kids to know right from wrong and to respect boundaries. We need our kids to encourage others who may not have had the support they needed while they were growing up.

It all starts today, at home!

God bless!

Special Request…

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Hey there!

We have a special request for our followers… does anyone know how we could get in contact with Ms. Rachel from YouTube?

We have a special friend who has been going through a tough battle with AML and he recently had a bone marrow transplant. This has been an extremely challenging time for him and his family and it would mean the world to them if they could connect with Ms. Rachel.

Thank you all and God Bless!
