Well we finally finished the greenhouse… it’s up and running at least 🙂
I still have some plans for more permanent shelves and such but we made do with what we had on hand for now and it’s working out.

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!
Hi! Just wanted to jump on really quickly and share a few photos of our 1st Bethlehem/Shepherd’s dinner which will be happening on a yearly basis in the future… the timing might change a bit but we definitely want to repeat this!
Hey, it’s me again…
After I made the DIY Bingo cards I decided to go ahead and finish crossing off some more things on my To-Do List… some of them have been on that list forever as I only pull my Polar Express folder out once a year.
We have a pile of fun games that you can play at your next Christmas get-together or you can use them anytime during this Advent/Christmas Season. Many of these can be used even without printing out this packet, if you are unable to do so.
We will be using a lot of these during our next Polar Express party as well as some outside games like Corn Hole and Washer Toss, weather permitting. The kids are super excited and I’m so happy that they look so nice. I hope someone else might find these helpful.
God Bless!
Hey everybody!
I pray you all are doing well, I’ve not been on the blog in a bit as I have scheduled quite a few posts already as we are trying to focus on the Advent Season here. As we prepare for Christmas we are also doing some preparations for St. Nicholas Day and for our annual Polar Express Party… so much fun!
