The Best Fall Buys at Hobby Lobby
Well, summer is just about over, and the holiday season will soon be upon us. (Although, if you go by the current temperatures across much of the country right now, it can be hard to get into the fall spirit!) And so, this means it’s also time to be thinking about seasonal holiday decor! You may or may not know that Hobby Lobby does not really “do” Halloween, in the traditional sense.

But they definitely have more than their fair share…

Walmart $25 Family Easter Basket Challenge
The internet is overflowing with ideas for extremely elaborate and creative Easter baskets- some of which aren’t even baskets at all! I’ve seen goodies stuffed into upside-down baseball caps, rain boots, umbrellas, and even baby swimming pools! And each is often filled to the brim with themed (and often pricey) goodies. While these are amazing ideas, not everyone wants to shell out a small fortune, or is able to afford such an over-the-top setup-especially if they have a large family with several children. Or maybe you’re a single parent struggling to make ends meet, one or both parents have lost their jobs, there have been unexpected medical or other bills,…

Sausage-Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites (Only 5 Ingredients!)
Have you ever seen a recipe that looked SO DELICIOUS that you immediately got into your car, drove to the store, purchased the necessary ingredients, and made it right away?
