As Seen on TV: DIY Body Wrap

Does this look familiar?

I did this post during the summer

{originally as a guest on I Heart Naptime}

and it's gone viral!

 Pinned over 1,000,000 times, it got noticed by the NBC network's show,

They contacted me about featuring it on an episode called
"Hollywood Bodies"
{of course I said 'yes'!}
and here's their post of my DIY Body Wrap:

They crack me up!

I'm proud {and a little shocked}
to say that Sugar Blossoms is now

That's flippin'

 su-WEET!!

Indoor Reese's S'mores

We recently discovered an AMAZING alternative to s'mores:
Reese's S'mores!

Everything is the same as traditional s'mores,

except we used the only chocolate we had on hand: Reese's PB Cups.

 

We also made them in the house using the gas burners on our stove.

SO STINKIN' FUN!!

 

This is how we do it:

All you need are graham crackers, marshmallows, and Reese's PB Cups.

I removed the grate from the burner before roasting the marshmallows over low heat.

The Boys loved the indoor option (no campfire smoke in the face!).

 

Unwrap a PB Cup and place on graham square.

Put roasted 'mallow on while still warm.

Top with another graham square.

DEVOUR!

November Photo-A-Day Challenge

Sometimes,

when life is busy,

when I'm running from work to home and back,

when the laundry pile is as tall as me,

I forget to be thankful.

 

I'm going to work on that this month.

Come join me. =)

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pumpkin Cookies

This is my absolute favorite time of year! I love the colors, the clothes, the weather. . . and the food!

I LOVE PUMPKIN!!

Yes, I sometimes drown my family in it's deliciousness

{like in THIS post!}

but it's really the only time of year I can get my pumpkin fix.

I recently concocted these little beauties: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pumpkin Cookies.

{SWOON!}

I love regular white chocolate macadamia nut cookies so it just made sense to me to take them to the next level by adding pumpkin!

 

Here's the recipe:

{print it here}

 

And here's how each step looks:

 

I learned quickly that white chocolate chips don't bake like milk chocolate chips. It works much better when you use parchment paper instead of just greasing the pan. Here's how both ways look.

The one on the left is the batch I started with, not using parchment paper.

The one on the right shows that I got smart. ;)

Dusting them with powdered sugar makes them pretty and extra delicious!

{Do not inhale deeply though!}

 

 What's the best receipt you ever created?
