Thankful for Thanksgiving

Man, I'm learning a lot about myself with this Pinterest journal of mine. I'm a HUGE slacker around fun holidays!! :) Which makes absolutely no sense to me because every time I'm cruising around Pinterest I can't wait for the next holiday because all the fun things I find!!

Anyway, I figured it would only be fitting to document a few things I'm thankful for:

PINTEREST!!!
(among other things)


Actually, let me re-word this...
Here are a few PINS I'm thankful for (and use ALL the time):


So, I know I have a pretty hefty list here, but let's be honest, Pinterest rocks and it's changed all our lives for the better. 
PINTEREST for PRESIDENT 2016!

Anyway, that's my rant. This list isn't all the pins that I've tried and found successful. This is a list of things that  have locked in my brain and found themselves in my every day life and for that I'm thankful for Pinterest. :)

Happy Thanksgiving all!!

Thankful Tree Finger Painting

Obviously this was a hit at our house with a 2 year old and finger paints!!
I sat my daughter down this afternoon and we had a discussion about Thanksgiving and things we are thankful for. 

Then she dressed up our naked tree with lots of cute finger print leaves!! 


I got this idea HERE

Giant Cookie

These are my favorite!!!
 I absolutely LOVE giant chocolate chip cookies with frosting! I have attempted making giant cookies in the past with my regular choc. chip cookie recipes and they have failed.

I've never made a giant cookie where the middle is cooked just as evenly as the edges. This cookie rocked!

I am more than happy to announce that this was a huge success! 



We had to go a step further and throw some frosting on there. I asked my 2 year old what we should put on it and she said a snowman. So, here we have our giant snowman cookie!
(I know, totally lame with just one color on such a fantastic cookie but I had it left over from something else.)

HERE is where you'll find the deliciousness!

**  I don't have a metal pizza pan so I cooked mine on my pizza stone. I'm not sure if that would make a difference cooking wise but mine had to cook about 12-15 minutes longer than what the recipe calls for.

**I personally felt there was a little bit to much chocolate (and I'm a big chocolate person!!) so next time I'll probably cut down on the chocolate chips by a 1/2 cup.

Oh, Toilet Paper Rolls...

It's that time of year again when we're all digging out our Christmas paper and finding that part of it has unraveled and needs to be trimmed so we can wrap with beautiful, crisp paper. 

Well, waste no more!! Actually, in more ways than one!! 
Save those old toilet paper rolls and just cut a slit down the side and slip on your open wrapping paper!!

Genius!!


When I tried to click on the link where this idea originated it wasn't existent anymore. I obviously didn't have to follow step by step instructions for this one! :)

Happy Wrapping!
