Here is another fun and super easy recipe I have made with the kids this week. I can not tell you enough how much I love to create EASY things! It gives me so much time to be able to enjoy the treats and watch a Halloween movie. We bake a lot during the cold months because not only does it seem that there is more time to spend indoors, but it also warms up the house! I hope you enjoy our recipe for learning How to Make Delicious Chocolate Creepy Trees.

Follow us, we're fun!

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.

The worst week ever in our family- Trajedy comes in drones!
