Chocolate Marshmallows I had to post something to celebrate... something like National Smore's Day can't just be ignored! chocolate of every kind I've been asked a couple times to post these...

Buffalo Ranch Chicken Dip

{Source} My sister and her family arrive on Monday!! I'm so excited, I might not sleep until then. I figured out this week that there will be 8 people and a dog in a 900 square foot house for one week. That means that we will each get about 100 square feet each of living space! :) haha...

Random Things on A Monday:

1. Wow - is January really almost over! I can't believe there is only one week left in this month. It flew by, and I don't even know where it went.

Pull Apart Maple Pecan Sticky Buns

Once a month, the pastor's wives at my church Southbay Church, get together for some face to face time. It's a great way for us to spend time together, fellowship, pray together, share what's going on in each other's life, and grow together. It seems funny that we see each other at church every week, live in walking distance from some of them, and live only a few miles from...

Favorite Things

I have several kitchen and entertaining items that I LOVE. I thought I'd share. I'd love to hear from all of you what your favorites are too. I was thinking about making this a recurring series with a link up - doesn't have to necessarily be cooking gadgets - anything that's your favorite things that you want to share. What do you think? This is probably my favorite kitchen/baking item!...
