Homestyle in a Hurry!

SO SUPER Excited to tell you that I received my copy of the Gooseberry Patch "Homestyle in a Hurry" cookbook yesterday!!! WHOO HOO! My Julie's Fresh Guacamole recipe can be found on page 41.

This one is for all the Mamas!

Ok Moms, this recommendation is for you! I recently visited this darling store by the waterfront in Fort Pierce. It is called Sentiment. They have candles, gifts, darling homemade aprons for both adults and children, books, kids books, and so much more! Please take some time and stop and visit. You will thank me for it!

It's Game Night!

My parents got this game for us at Christmas. What a cute fun game. It is called LCR. Easy to learn, and fun to play.

Manufacturer says game is appropriate for ages 5 and up. I think with supervision, younger kids could totally play. Great for teaching Left and Right.

Enjoy!

The Meaning of the Season!

It is been our tradition for several years now to go see the Living Nativity at Indian River Presbyterian Church. I urge you to take your family to see and experience the true meaning of Christmas!

Outdoor Living Nativity: A walk-through 9-scene Nativity story. Indian River Presbyterian Church, 2499 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce, 6-9 p.m., Dec. 18. 772-464-4263; irpcfamily.org

Books Make Me Happy - a perfect gift for any young reader!

I bought this reading log for my daughter for her birthday. She loves it. She has logged in several books, including Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and more!

This is the perfect book for any young reader on your Christmas shopping list.. especially if you do not know which books they have or do not have.

Be a Drama Queen - take the kids to the theatre!

I LOVE live theatre, and for many years I have enjoyed local children's theatre productions as well. I highly recommend taking your family to see some of the awesome plays that are coming up in our area!

Hey good lookin'! Whatcha got cookin'?

It's no secret that the Dossantos family loves to eat. Well, did you know we also love to cook and bake? We have quite a recipe book collection, that we add to each year. We've picked up a few family friendly and kids cookbooks along the way. We definitely have our favorites. One of them is Rachael's Ray YUM-O cookbook. We highly recommend it! One of our fave recipes is Italian Chili Soup! You can buy the book locally at the Vero Beach Book Center. www.verobeachbookcenter.com
