Let’s not forget that one thing we are missing but don’t know what it is yet. That’s me in a nutshell. This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com and as a result I received the cutest package for review.

Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!

Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!

There weren’t many traditions around Christmas time while I was growing up, we had Christmas Eve tamales and woke up on Christmas morning with excitement. I always dreamed of having so many traditions and celebrations once I had children of my own, then reality hit. My Husband was deployed more often than not. If he wasn’t on a deployment far away, he was on a work-up trip preparing for deployments and that meant he was gone for weeks at a time. His Military career never gave us an opportunity to settle down and have some set traditions, so we did things as we could. Having premature babies with heart monitors also made for selective outings around people. These were all reasons why we were never able to see Santa every year. It took many years but we finally have one: Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!

The Ultimate Leftover Candy Recipe Collection!

 

Ah, what to do with all this leftover candy!? Once everyone’s gotten sick of eating candy on its own (who am I kidding?!). Has that ever happened? There’s no way our candy lasts until we’re sick of it. While I love chocolate as is, some of them could use a twist. I’ve put together a list of 70+ different recipes that use different candies to make some seriously delicious treats. There’s everything from cookies and brownies to pies and cheesecakes. The one I’m dying to try is the Candy Corn butter, which they say tastes just like Butterfingers. Definitely something I’ll have to make and eat sparingly! I hope you enjoy The Ultimate Leftover Candy Recipe Collection!
