With the holidays upon us and gift giving soon here, it's the perfect time to make your own affordable and edible gifts. Earlier this week, PartySugar featured her decadent chocolate truffles and to continue with the chocolate theme, I made homemade peanut butter cups. It only takes an afternoon to put together these delectable chocolate cups.

Is there a DJ in the house? Lenzr is looking for party people and photographers that have plenty of homemade bonanze images and can spare some shots of people getting crazy out behind their homes.
Backyard Party Events is a photo contest on Lenzr that's perfect for the little people who host their own good times at home, and those friends with neighbours types that gather on weekends around backyard BBQs, croquet, red rover, lawn darts and go dancing on plywood or Masonite dancefloors under shady trees.

Every year I try to come up with a few really good recipes for homemade goodies that I can give to my co-workers, in-laws, etc. for Christmas. This year I'm going to try to not go too over the top, and on my list of things I want to make I have come up with peppermint bark, which is an old reliable recipe.

This recipe I have been dying to try, but unable to get to the store to purchase the essence oil. However, if anyone gets a chance to try it out, it sounds like it would be just yummy and wonderful for friends and family.
Pour espsom salt in two separate bowls.

Today's ideas are inspired by all things kitchen. It's still time for fresh vegetables, for nights spent outside on the deck, and for delicious meals cooked on the grill.
My family always seems to spend summer time getting together - family comes in to visit, little impromptu gatherings, or enjoying the new hot tub my parents just had installed.

On Christmas morning Peter Facinelli and his wife, Jennie Garth, look forward to the moment when their three daughters burst through their bedroom door around 7 a.m., crawl across the covers and announce it’s present time.
“They try to let us sleep in, but they’re so excited they can’t wait,” says Jennie. “They look so innocent, excited and full of expectation.” Adds Peter of the girls’ pure joy: “Their faces are lit up like no other time of year.”
Call it the Facinelli Christmas Glow — which sparks from a love for the holidays that they couple have handed down to their daughters Luca Bella, 12, Lola Ray, 7, and Fiona Eve, 3.

No words can adequately do justice to your thoughts and feelings unless you wrap them in some unexceptionable gifts. Exchanging gifts on auspicious occasion is the grand gesture of wishing good luck and well being. Sending gifts become token of gratitude, an authentic symbol that coveys true feelings of the heart.

I first learned of white trash toffee, as it's called (no, I didn't make up the name!), many years ago when a former co-worker brought some in to the office and I couldn't stop putting it in my mouth. When I got my hands on the recipe, which came from her sister-in-law, I was shocked by how fast, easy, and inexpensive it is to put together — and I haven't stopped making it since.
If you have 15 minutes and any manner of chocolate, sugar, nuts, and crisp white cracker on hand, then you are ready to make this addictive homemade gift.

am not sure about you, but every week seems to be cleaning week at my house. I try to do the bedding, the spot behind the toilet, the oven and the outside deck; but things happen, life intervenes and the cleaning jobs get pushed and pushed to the following week.
I am not sure who it was that decided the end of March, first of April was designated as spring cleaning, but ladies..
