Halloween Bingo Game Released Early (Due to Popular Demand)

Originally we were going to release our Halloween Bingo game the first part of September but we are getting so many requests (at least 1 a day) that we decided to release it a little early. There are 14 different pages plus a page of markers. It would be fun to use candy such as a candy corn for markers too.  Excellent game for a school party or home party.  The kids will love it!  Print out the 14 Bingo cards, the markers and the number calling sheet. Designate a someone to call out the numbers (1-24) 

All our Halloween Freebies will be available next September (2013) 

Candy corns are great fun for Bingo Markers

Candy Kisses are even better (That's coming from a chocoholic!) 

To make sure you never miss the release of one of our FREEBIES, head over to our FACEBOOK PAGE and "like" us. We'd love for you to follow out blog too.   We will "lay to rest" all of our Halloween freebies November 1st. They will return fall of 2013.

Yummy Bread Recipes for Bread Lovers Everywhere!

I will admit it that if I was stranded on a tropical island and could only have two things....Yes one would be bread, and chocolate would be the other thing.  I've had bread with white chocolate and pecans inside and it is delicious!  So it only makes sense that I would do a post about bread!  I've just recently started making bread. One is an oatmeal bread that is so yummy.  It seems like it would be difficult to make your own bread but once you get going you'll find it isn't hard at all.  It's just like anything....the more you do it, the better you can do it.  I hope you find at least one bread recipe below that you love!

If this recipe is even close to the Magleby's roll then it will be delicious! Gotta Try it (Magleby's is a fabulous restaurant in Utah County) Find the recipe over at Freida Loves Bread

One of my favorite breads from Harmon's bakery is this white chocolate pecan bread, in fact I have to only buy it occasionally because I would probably eat the whole thing myself. And so I was happy to see this recipe. If you don't make this bread then head on over to Harmon's to get one. Their bread is fabulous!  Find this recipe over at  Freida Lovs Bread

Ciabatta bread makes fabulous sandwiches. I like using it for our meatball sandwiches.  Freida Loves Bread

I've tried this (knock-off) Pizza Factory Breadsticks recipe and it's really good. The perfect addition to your soup, salad or pizza night. I found that one frozen roll was enough for each breadstick-recipe calls for two. (buy the wooden dowels at any craft store or Home Depot)  Recipe Exchange

Design Your Own Reading Nook for the Kids!

Maybe if there is a special "reading space" for the kids they might actually want to read? Wouldn't that be wonderful..... Their very own reading space with their favorite books inside.  We've found a few reading nooks for you to see. Is there a small space in your home that can be turned into a child's reading nook?

This reading nook was made out of unusable space in this house. The shelves, bean bag and curtains make this an irresistible reading space for your kids. These Moments of Mine   Have you checked out the "rain gutter" bookshelves" They are so much fun for the kids library and easy to put up. See our post about  Rain Gutter Shelves  The wall quote above the shelves in the photo is available in our Etsy Shop....Click HERE 

It's a bed, it's a reading nook. With the addition of the curtains you could just remove the closet doors and have this darling hide-a-way! (You might be able to use a tension rod for the curtains)   Less than perfect life of bliss

Another bedroom/reading nook. All your favorite books are within reading. I love the overhead lighting too.  Accent on Design

Love this larger room with all the shelves for books and a big comfy bed. Close the curtains and you've got all the privacy you need.  House Beautiful


Make a library for the kids reading nook. Put this design on the large blank wall you have. Everything will be organized so nicely.   Feathered Nest Interiors  

Click HERE to see this darling reading nook/bedroom for a little boy-Lots of great photos

First, I love the window and second, it is a great space for a reading nook with lots of natural light.  Books can be placed on the left and right of the seat.  SOURCE



Use the space in your attic wisely with this bedroom/reading nook/hide-a-way!  Excellent use of space and look at all the storage.  See more photos of this fabulous room HERE


What little girl wouldn't want this reading nook. Shelves like this are available at IKEA (minus the embellishments)  If you know someone that's handy with wood you could make these two overhead pieces. IKEA also has something similar to the two large leaves over the pillows too.    The Sky's the Limit Design
