I will use my Holiday Planner to keep myself organized this Holiday season. I have big plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving dinner will be served at our house this year. So I will be including a shopping list and menu. I will also start collecting any recipes I think I might want to use. This way I can find it all in one place and have them available when I am shopping. How will you use your planner?
Here is a Free Downloadable Shopping List + Menu from Jen Allyson for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and general Holiday that you can put in your Holiday Planner.
Click on the images below to download the PDF files.
Before I can get too excited about the menu, here at the Lake house we are starting a new project…. We need a new wall oven. This means we get to pull out the old one, demo some sheet rock and cut a new hole. After 23 years, wall ovens have changed in size. Lucky for me, Jen posted the most wonderful Project Master List and Project Notes for free download.
And when that new oven is installed, here is a fall family favorite recipe my Grandma Norma always made for us kids.
Persimmon Drop Cookies
1 cup persimmon pulp
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup sugar
½ tsp. ground cloves
½ cup butter
½ tsp. nutmeg
1 egg beaten
1 cup nuts (we use a mix of walnut & pecan)
½ tsp. salt
1 cup raisins
Beat till creamy: pulp, soda, sugar & butter
Add: egg & beat well
Sift flour & spices
Add: flour, raisins & nuts to creamy mixture
Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet
Bake 375° 12-15 min. Makes 3-4 dozen

Mini-project Monday is here! We all know that there are some extremely unattractive valentine’s cards out there. Some of them are kind of cute, and your kids may really want the my little pony or spiderman cards. If you can actually manage to get to the store to buy them the moment they come out, you can get the ones you want. But chances are you’ll run to the store on february 13th and end up with teletubby cards… don’t tell me it hasn’t happened to you before!
Don’t worry, this year is going to be different. I’ve got you covered! I designed some cute and simple valentine’s cards for you to print out at home. Best of all they are free! These can be used as valentines for your kids to give out or as tags on gifts for neighbors, children, siblings, & grandmas! Just print them out, cut them, attach some candy (I recommend lollipops) and have your child write his or her name. Voila! Fast and easy valentine’s that are actually cute!
Look at how adorable these cards are! The link for you to download is at the bottom of this post. enjoy!
Download this file and enjoy (for personal use only). Please tell your friends to come visit the site and download their own file. I would love a comment if you do download them! Happy Valentine’s Day!!
The file is one 8.5″x11″ JPG that has all 4 designs on it. Once that pulls up, just left-click and save to your desktop. You should be able to open it in any basic photo-editing software and print.
If you are another blog or crafting site and would like to link this project to yours, please contact me. Thanks!
