Spiced Apple Cider Donuts
I have been known to be easily coerced into making all sorts of questionable decisions when the result will end in donuts. This time of year, I think one of the best trick or treats might be donuts on a string. There might have been a time when I would have shied away from looking silly while trying to wolf down one of the magical donuts dangling from a string, but on Halloween, it’s right up my alley. You might be someone who is skeptical about the amazing deliciousness of a donut on a string, and if you are, I would like you to give these donuts a try and…

Swiftie Bracelets
Let’s face it. You’re going to the movie. You either weren’t able (like me) to spring for the tickets to the tour and so you missed it live, or you DID see it and you can’t wait to relive the fun. Either way, you’re probably going to need a few friendship bracelets. I took my daughters to the Eras Tour movie for our Witches Night Out and we had such a blast and made some fun memories. We loved the positive energy of the other (mostly tweens and teens) people in the crowd, the way everyone danced from their seats with a few very excited fans rushing to the front…

Pumpkin Patch Skirt
Intermediate advanced crochet pattern for size 18 months to 2T skirt It’s a favorite tradition in our family to take the kids to the local pumpkin patch and turn them loose in the fields hunting for the perfect pumpkin to carve. I always love seeing the ones they pick and later, how they end up transforming them into scary visions of Halloween terror.

Save the Bees, please
I haven’t done much of an introduction yet to introduce myself, so maybe this post will answer a few questions as to who I am and why I’m creating a blog. Writing and storytelling has proven to be therapeutic and adept at building a culture of understanding where readers can check their musings and thoughts with the authors and through this culture sometimes comes connection. In learning the housekeeping and technical side of blogging, I have neglected sharing many of the parts of myself that come together to make me. I promise, it will come. But to begin with an introduction, I’ll explain a bit about “Why a creativity Blog?”…
