We have a Winner!

Wow!
If I ever think it is going to be a good idea to write them all out by hand… slap me!
I had the best intentions of having this really fun drawing with the kids when they got home from school but I severely underestimated the time it would take to WRITE OUT 1500 NAMES BY HAND!!

I have used random.org in the past… but sometimes people don’t make separate comments and I get emails wanting me to enter them in that way, etc. So I wanted to make sure I got everyone in like they should be!
But, almost 4 hours of writing out names later…. I will most certainly be using random next time I do a big one. The smaller ones I don’t mind!
Thank you everyone for entering. If was so much fun to read all your plans for Christmas. I read a lot of them out loud to my family, it really brought the Christmas spirit into our home. Thank you so much for taking the time to share a little bit of your life with us. 
O.K. enough of my whining, onto the winner!

The verified winner of the Kitchen Aid mixer is…
Erin Webb! 
( of Little Traverse Township, Michigan!)

Woohoo! Congratulations! Merry Christmas!

I got an email back from her, she is really cool! Married 21 years, 4 kids, 1 grand baby, never had a Kitchen Aid and has been asking for one every year since she got married!

Check back next week, I have 2 more giveaways before Christmas!

What a Sweet Dad

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

This is one of those “I’ve been meaning to” blogs that I haven’t blogged yet. I love family traditions and think they’re important to have, and my husband started one for our family that I think it very unique (and precious). A few years ago for Valentines day we stayed home instead of going out (funny how that happens when you have six kids). So Paul got creative, gave me the night off and made a beautiful candle lit gourmet dinner for the entire family. The kids LOVED it! The next year he was planning on getting a sitter and taking me out until the kids started talking excitedly about “Are we going to do that again, Dad!?” And that’s how the tradition started.
This year was beautiful, the girls (and Rush) all went to Mardi Gras in the morning while Tucker was at practice, and then we all came home for dinner (My sister and her husband opted for dinner with us-apparently waiting 3 hours for any restaurant was not going to settle with Jeff). Paul made an amazing romantic meal, with name plates, rose petals, and candles everywhere. The kids all got a giant Hershey Kiss (Storie freaked out when she figured out it was entirely chocolate) and we got them Madagascar2 to watch together as soon as dinner was done. This year all the kids each told Dad and I something they loved about us as well! And they didn’t just say, “Because you gave us giant Hershey Kisses!”
So dinner was beautiful, and this is one of the favorite holidays for our kids because of how special Dad makes it! Do you have any ideas for unique family traditions?

By 7 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

Like I said the candy bug has bitten!
I have wanted to try these for a while and finally got around to it.

I have head this called poor mans toffee…
The recipe I found was called, “Saltine Toffee”
It was super easy!

Start by coving a jelly roll pan with foil AND spray with pam. Believe me you want to do this!
Cover the entire try with a layer of saltines salt side up. 
Next make the butter, sugar mix. 
Pour butter mix over the crackers and place in oven for just about 5 min. or until brown and bubbly. 
As soon as it come out sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. They will melt, just give them a second!
When the chocolate chips were all melted I took a spatula and smoothed out the top.
Now, let them cool. 
When they are completely cool, break or cut them into pieces. 
Oh, my goodness, it is impossible to eat just one! 
It is also the easiest candy I have ever made!

Photo by the best Photographer in the world.. Maureen Light!

My sweet little red head just walked up to me and asked, “Have you ever been married?”
“Yes, honey I have!” I laughed.
“Who did you marry?” She asked.
“Your Dad silly!”
“MOM! You can’t marry someone in your family!” She yelled at me.
Hmmm, I never thought about it that way… 🙂
