Come What May and Love It

This year for Christmas I decided I wanted the kids to make each others presents. They have decided on their own that they wanted to give each other 2 gifts. They have for the most part made one and bought one. There will be more about this later. Along with making gifts I decided to make them be crafty and I bought brown paper from Home Depot. I then told the kids that they had to do something creative with their wrapping. They could do anything they wanted as long as what they used was in this house. I did collect craft paper and ribbon and jute etc. from around the house. We found some sites that had fun packages. Here are a few links, #1 and #2 . I told the kids to use their imagination. :) We also found some bows and flower patterns and this is what we found. #1 and #2 and my favorite #3 then the one that blew my mind. google crafts made out of TP rolls and you can be blown away too! #4.   We pulled out scrap paper and paper from an old book that was going to go to the DI

It has been a while since I posted a new recipe because I have been on a cooking slump! I found this recipe and it looked easy and good, So I did try this for dinner tonight! Yumm! they turned out great! I used red potatoes and boiled them whole and unpeeled. When sticking a fork in them, they went in easy and they slid off they were done. They cook a little more in the oven. For the seasoning I used salt, dill, and garlic. After cooking them, I sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese on top. Click here for the recipe.
