Hey everyone! I’m Brandi, Wife, Mother of 2, Blogger behind <a href="http://bet1975.blogspot.com">Don’t Disturb This Groove</a>. Thanks to Darline I’m excited to be guest posting here today! I love to create simple crafts and I've got an easy holiday ornament tutorial to share with you today. These ornaments would also make great gifts or fun tags to attach to a present.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm a little obsessed with the whole chalkboard craze! It seems like it's everywhere I look. I just wish I had a steady hand and fancy handwriting skills.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was inspired by this <a href="http://society6.com/BaronArtCo/Chalkboard-Art-Joy-Wreath_Print#1=45"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">image</span></a>. With the holidays right around the corner, I decided to create my own ornament. The process ended up being fairly easy. Here's what I did!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I began by separating and painting a mini-embroidery hoop with silver craft paint. After the paint dried, I placed a piece of black fabric between the two hoops and trimmed the fabric close to the edge of the hoop.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbLk3iMgOP0IVIplqQqptuTHOHfcBM5DvfFFPdG8oRD5dXblJ84QBa46UEOsoDMtFuDbZU3wP90vXgMvB2b3JXkmu7dzkzUY4yxfHxzMhFBbWJa6Z2cGYqdBErfaBp0Ph3_iWosFINe5I/s1600/Chalkboard+Inspired+Ornament+(16).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbLk3iMgOP0IVIplqQqptuTHOHfcBM5DvfFFPdG8oRD5dXblJ84QBa46UEOsoDMtFuDbZU3wP90vXgMvB2b3JXkmu7dzkzUY4yxfHxzMhFBbWJa6Z2cGYqdBErfaBp0Ph3_iWosFINe5I/s640/Chalkboard+Inspired+Ornament+(16).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then, using my printer, I printed my inspiration picture out close to the size of my hoop. I removed the fabric from between the hoops so I could transfer my image to the center of the fabric. Next, I traced over the front of the image with a pencil, making sure to cover the entire image getting it as dark as I could without tearing the paper.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After lifting the paper from the fabric the outline of the image is now visible.</span></span><br />

Please welcome my friend Deborah from <a href="http://lifewhileimwaiting.blogspot.com">Life While I'm Waiting</a>. Deborah really knows how to plan a party and she really knows how to make her family and friends feel special when she does.<br />
<br />
I'm delighted to have been asked by Darline to join her Christmas House Tour. It's the first time for me and I am very honored. Thank you Darline.<br />
<br />
For those new to "<a href="http://lifewhileimwaiting.blogspot.com">Life While I'm Waiting</a>" let me tell you a little bit about myself. <br />
<br />
My name is Deborah. I've had this little blog for a few years now. It is mainly used to document my family's life but I also advocate for children and widows from time to time. I'm a Jesus girl who loves to decorate for the seasons, plan parties and create. I'm blessed with a husband and four children that I love and the four sweetest grandkids that I'd do anything for. Even spoil them "a bit" to much. I'm currently obsessed with Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Frappicino Light. I'm determined to learn to be a good photographer, play the piano and speak french even though I haven't managed to accomplish any of them. I love all things Disney, especially Epcot. We've lived in our home for 15 years. I don't really think I have what you could call a style. I'm kind of a "go with what I like" kind of girl. So come on in, grab a cup of hot-chocolate and join me on my Christmas Tour.<br />

I'm proud of my husband's wreath making skills. He bought the wreath, cut it in half</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and wired it with lights, frosted fruit and ornaments himself even before</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you could buy the wreaths pre-cut. We've had this about 10 years. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Hi, I'm Shannon and I blog over at <a href="http://www.uponadream.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;"><b>Upon A Dream</b></span></a>, I've known Darline for a few years now through blogging and I was so excited when she asked if I would like to share my holiday home with all of you. With Christmas coming rather quickly this year I promised myself to take it easy with the decorations and once they are up no tinkering whatsoever instead just enjoy the season. I have stuck to this and have been enjoying as much time as possible curled up on the couch with my girls and just enjoying all of the fun the holidays bring. I hope everyone is finding some time to be still and enjoy the season and if you have some extra time grap a cup of cocoa and take a look around our home dressed for the holidays,</i></span></div>

Please welcome back my friend Colleen from So Much To Say. She is here to give us a Holiday House tour of her lovely home that I'm sure that you will all enjoy! Please visit her blog she has great posts on crafts, decorating, party-planning, photography,organization and so much more!
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome to our holiday home!!! I'm Colleen of So Much to Say and I'm sharing our holiday home tour with you all today. There's nothing like a beautiful Christmas tree to give your home that warm and cozy feeling that we all crave in the winter - especially in the Northeast! The days of a tree with coordinating ornaments are long gone for us!! We have two trees in our house. One in the family room pictured below and another in our family room in the basement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's start that tour . . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year I found this burlap ribbon at Michael's and used that as garland. I love the look although I always, always have an issue putting the ribbon on there. I swear I never get it to look pretty!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tRs6xU6-ZCA/UrS1CR3hKMI/AAAAAAAAP2s/SmAz2UCAttg/s1600-h/DSC_2913%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="DSC_2913" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JKb4JXyfRQ8/UrS1DC_UAwI/AAAAAAAAP20/PCBIg6psPKo/DSC_2913_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="484" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-center: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSC_2913" width="322" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our mantle this year is a bit pathetic! ha! That wreath lights up but it fell down within a half hour of me putting it up. I had to buy more command strips and once I tried new ones it stayed put. But I have to admit I was nervous to put up some of the other decor up there as I was afraid it would fall and all would come crashing down!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="DSC_2914" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EjwZSyaBNYo/UrS1EfC67TI/AAAAAAAAP3A/sudQFYxmtfk/DSC_2914_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="428" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSC_2914" width="644" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gift wrap these year is plain craft paper. I used some ribbons that I had on hand to decorate them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our tree has so many different ornaments on there. Some the kids made and some I bought over the years. Each one tells a little story and I love that about our tree. I bought the glitter ones last year from Pottery Barn on sale. The initials are from Pottery Barn too and those were purchased this year. </span><br />

Is the mere thought of the upcoming holidays making you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, guilty and quite frankly stressed out? Does the idea of escaping it all and landing in a remote island appeal to you?
In a world jammed with cutesy DIY projects, photos of gift wrap themes and scrumptious recipes that are posted all over the internet it’s no wonder our holiday To Do lists have gotten out of control!
Professional organizers, <a href="http://www.gracebrooke.com">Grace Brooke </a>and I have been teaching online organizing classes. In them we share our tough love approach to simplifying, organizing and being more productive in less amount of time. We teach others how to get it all done without trying to be perfect.
Here is an inside peak at some of our favorite tips for keeping it real and maintaining your sanity during the holidays:
<strong>1. Get real about your expectations.</strong>
Turn off the HGTV channel and hide your Martha Stewart subscription until January. Design your own holiday experience without the pressures of the media.
<strong>2. Quit being a grouch and start being grateful.</strong>
Stop complaining about what still needs to be done and start being grateful for all of your blessings and accomplishments.
<strong>3. Develop a holiday vision that is unique to your family.</strong>
Sit down as a family to discuss the things you want to do during the holidays and more importantly the things you don’t want to do. You may include: movies you want to see, old traditions, new traditions, places to visit etc. Write up a list and post it where your family can be reminded of it daily.
<strong>4. Stop cluttering up your friends’ and family’s homes!</strong>
Give them the gift of an experience, a memory that they will enjoy and cherish forever. It can be anything from gift certificates to memberships to services for your home.
<strong>5. Opt out of the “Perfect-Holiday-Card” contest.</strong>
Do you notice how everyone is trying to come up with the designer holiday card (you know…the one that is professionally shot, where the family is in coordinating outfits, the hair is perfect and everyone is full of holiday cheer). A snap shot from last summer’s vacation is good enough! (The NEW perfect).
<strong>6. Stop being Martha Stewart and start relaxing with the rest of them!</strong>
This holiday season pass on the sit down dinner and plan a fun, simple cocktail party with appetizers. Make it more about getting together and less about weeks of preparation. Good food and good company is what it’s all about.
<strong>7. Let the “Fifty Shade of Gift Wrap” go and just get it done.</strong>
Keep it simple. For example: recycling your kids’ artwork to add a personal touch to your gift wrapping. (And this is a great way to get rid of more stuff).
<strong>8. Cut down on your holiday storage and decorate your tree with natural ornaments.</strong>
Make clean up and storage a snap by using popcorn, berries, cookies, pine cones, bird nests, oranges, candy and other disposable items.
For more great ways to organize and simplify your holiday season check out Grace and Jennifer’s <a href="http://www.smore.com/579p">65 Day Holiday Organizing Challenge</a> that begins on<strong> October 29th.</strong>

Hi South Shore Mommy readers!!! <br />
<br />
A little about me . . . . . I'm a mom of two and wife to my husband of almost ten years. I spend my days working full-time as a lawyer which I love. When I am not at work, you can find me with my two beautiful kids beside me. I always have some project in the works in my house whether it's something big like my son's big boy room found <a href="http://www.colleen-somuchtosay.com/2011/09/big-boy-cars-room.html">here</a> or a <a href="http://www.colleen-somuchtosay.com/2011/02/foyer-photo-gallery.html">gallery wall</a>. I love photography, party-planning, coffee, lists, organizing, wine and decorating. I also love trying different crafts with my little ones. I love to read blogs although admittedly they fill my head with ideas and crafts that I <strike>obsessively</strike> keep track of on Pinterest. I blog about many things like our life experiences, our home, projects, recipes, crafts, and sometimes just our ordinary days at home.<br />
<br />
I'm here today to share my home tour. I am a huge fan of home tours in blogs and often find alot of inspiration. Here we go . . . . we bought our home in 2007. I fell in love with this house the first time I saw it. My husband needed a little more convincing than just my undying love!! It took some time but it was finally ours after a couple of months. There are so many things I love about our home so come on in . . . <br />

This is our family room where we spend most of our time. This was one of the things that really appealed to me about our home. I loved that I could be in the kitchen and watch my little ones play in the very next room. <br />

Heading upstairs to the second level . . . . <br />
<br />
Our master bedroom is in line for some changes this week. We had some water damage from an ice dam so this room will be updated with new paint and new carpet and I have new bedding too. (there's an adorable nook to the left of this area - our room is actually quite big - I just did not take a picture as there is quite the mess going on right now!!) I am planning to get a chaise and a little table and think it will be a really nice relaxing area in our room.<br />

Our little guy's room is next. I had so much fun decorating this room. Bedding is from Pottery Barn Kids and it's pretty complete but for blinds and some odds and ends. <br />

My sweet girl's room . . . . ahh I love it in here. The colors were carried from her nursery colors which were largely pink and sage. I used much of the same decor when she got the "big girl" look. It's the perfect little princess room.<br />

Heading down into the basement is the next part of our tour. We finished this area about three years ago and the kids love it! There's a playroom on the first side and a family room/bar on the other side. <br />
<br />
Can you tell I love baskets? I definitely love organized spaces (although this space typically is not so organized!!). See my <a href="http://www.colleen-somuchtosay.com/2012/04/real-house-tour.html">"real house tour here"</a><br />

Oh, just so you know the playroom NEVER LOOKS LIKE the above. In fact, I took a shot as I headed into my office recently. Here it is in its current state:<br />

I would like to introduce you to Jessica from Stay at Home-ista. I'm so excited that she will be our guest today. Please visit her blog for more details about the house that she designed herself. You will love the view from her home.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hi, I'm Jessica from <a href="http://www.stayathomeista.com/" target="_blank">Stay at Home-ista</a>. I blog about life as a stay at home mom, which can cover a lot of bases! Mostly I focus on home design (you'll get to see the house below), food, and parenting tips like how to <a href="http://www.stayathomeista.com/2012/02/car-travel-with-kids.html" target="_blank">survive long car rides</a>:)<br />

I was delighted when Darline asked me to do a guest post here on South Shore Mommy. My husband and I met in architecture school at Harvard, so when the opportunity presented itself to build a house of our own we jumped at the chance. Of course, that "jump" lasted 4 years from start to finish, but now that it is done, I know every detail of the house and love every bit of it. Come on in.<br />

I would like to introduce you to Rachel from Just a Touch of Gray. I'm very excited to have her here as my guest. Please make sure you visit her blog for her before and after posts. You will love her beautiful inspiring home! <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Hi all! I'm Rachel Gray from <a href="http://www.justatouchofgray.blogspot.com/">Just a Touch of Gray</a>, and I'm excited to be here at South Shore Mommy today! Darline has asked me to share a tour of my home but first I want to give you a little background. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In the summer of 2010 my husband and I bought a 1960 ranch from its original owners. Yes, that's right, we're the second owners! You can probably imagine it's "original" state. To say this house needed a little help would be an understatement. So, as my tag line reads, we've been dedicated to fix things up "one room at a time". </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Now on to the fun part - the pictures! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<br />
Hello! My name is <a href="http://www.southshoremommy.com/">Darline</a> and I’m a Shaklee Independent Distributor Super Gold Ambassador<br />
I wanted to take a moment to tell you about the work at home <a href="https://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/join.html" target="_blank">business</a> that I have and learn a little about you as well. :) <br />
When I was having a baby I started using <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare" target="_blank">nontoxic cleaning products</a> in my home. When I found out about the <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanStarterKit" target="_blank">Shaklee Get Clean</a> line that is when I decided to not only to start using them but to become a <a href="https://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/join.html#/join-business" target="_blank">Gold Ambassador-Shaklee Independent Distributor</a>. I feel as though that decision has made a difference in my life and I want to continue to make a difference in other peoples lives. One of the biggest differences is the cost savings! We also love the products and how effective they are. We have switched over to almost all of the lines that Shaklee offers and we still can’t wait to try more!<br />
I felt so strongly about the <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/shop.s.html" target="_blank">products</a> that I wanted to share them with my family, friends and other Moms (so they would know what I have learned about these <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/shop.s.html" target="_blank">products</a>). <br />
They are <a href="http://coastalhealthandome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanStarterKit" target="_blank">always safe, always work and are always green</a>.Do you have dreams of owning your own <a href="http://darline.myshaklee.com/us/en/">business</a>?<br />
Are you looking for a way to <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/#/pop_dream_plan" target="_blank">earn extra money</a>? <br />
Would you like to be a stay-at-home Mom?<br />
Do you want to get ahead by paying off debt or saving {for a vacation, dream home, new car, new baby or your child’s college education}?<br />
Here is a little about the <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html" target="_blank">business</a> that I chose and about how the <a href="http://coastalhealthandhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/shop.s.html" target="_blank">products</a> work:<br />

I would like to introduce you to my friend Colleen from So Much to Say. She is a very busy Mommy and I'm glad that she is here as my guest.<br />

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi South Shore Mommy readers!!! I am Colleen from So Much to Say</span><br />
I am excited to be posting here today with two quick Valentine's Day craft ideas. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
A little about me . . . . . I'm a mom of two. I spend my days working as a lawyer which I love. When I am not at work, you can find me with my two beautiful kids beside me. My favorite thing in the world is hearing my littles giggle and cuddling up with them on the couch each night. I also love coffee, wine, lists, organizing, party-planning, and decorating (and re-decorating!) our home. I love to read blogs although admittedly they fill my head with ideas and crafts that I <strike>obsessively</strike> keep track of on Pinterest. I blog about many things like our life experiences, our home, projects, recipes, crafts, and sometimes just our ordinary days at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am going to admit (although shamefully) that I have never used burlap before. Isn’t that sad? For someone who likes to try crafts it’s crazy to think I haven’t jumped on this bandwagon – especially given how cheap it is!!!! I recently bought a bunch and by that I mean about 3 yards (clearly measuring is not one of my strong points and there will be TONS of burlap projects in my near future). I thought we could make one of those cute Valentine's Day banners seen out</div>
<div align="center">
there in blog land. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is the finished project:</div>

I started out cutting strips of burlap roughly 5x7 for each pennant. We had the fabric Valentines hearts on hand so we took the easy route and used those as the center. You could easily use </div>

scrapbook paper, fabric or felt. </div>

I had leftover Martha Stewart baker's twine that I used to hang it. I took each piece as pictured below and folded it over the ribbon and hot-glued it in place.<br />

The hearts were adhesive so those were easy enough to put on. My little helper E did those. I found some ribbon in my stash and tied those on every other pennant for some added contrast.<br />

What do you think? <br />
This whole project was very inexpensive. I think I paid like $5.00 for the 3 yards of burlap and the other items I had on hand.<br />
The next project I saw on pinterest and thought it would be a cute addition to the mantle for valentine's day. I bought the buttons at Michael's, the frame I had and the burlap is mentioned above. I free-handed a heart shape and cut it out of a piece of paper. I then started the trim of the heart with the buttons using my glue gun. Once the trim was done I used started putting the rest of the buttons into the heart shape.<br />

I'm so excited to have her here as a guest. I just love her recipes and she makes cooking look so easy! I encourage you to visit her blog and Facebook page. <br />
<br />
<br />
I look forward to her meal planning guest post and if we're lucky "post" will be plural.<br />
<br />
<br />
We all need a little inspiration in the kitchen from time to time don't we? <br />

Hello South Shore Mommy readers! My name is Stephanie, and I blog over at <a href="http://www.plainchicken.com/" target="_blank">Plain Chicken</a>. South Shore Mommy invited me to do a guest post for her today. Today I am sharing not one, but <em>three</em> "recipes" with you! These treats are so easy, that you really don't even need a recipe.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First up we have these cute Valentine whoopie pies. They are actually Oreo Cakesters cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter and rolled in Valentine sprinkles. So cute and so simple.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopLZGo1kVNEFzHDHNQtZWHHSmVuZSIBRMnm-Jp7BATLMqie2_pHxLnSj-HqC7a8dxz05LVO8iCsvY8VxJgNQc3PoY5MRFN3hY54PrsiV1ktmyvwWK1wu9pQ3ppzrqNYdtuii-gwCJ5Iwf/s1600/IMG_2056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopLZGo1kVNEFzHDHNQtZWHHSmVuZSIBRMnm-Jp7BATLMqie2_pHxLnSj-HqC7a8dxz05LVO8iCsvY8VxJgNQc3PoY5MRFN3hY54PrsiV1ktmyvwWK1wu9pQ3ppzrqNYdtuii-gwCJ5Iwf/s640/IMG_2056.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next up are Double Dipped Milano cookies. I used a bag of Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano cookies and dipped them half way into vanilla almond bark and then into some festive Valentine sprinkles. Super easy!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLX2IUlkEM6NObAC46CjdK808d9AdCS5rUbuCgBkPP-iA-3m3CcAHf7BSYyxnuTI4THZCEAMH7gYox11TBX0TA9HR8yeJ3rHvMqRG5b9eShctOq3fa58R7JunCY3bHXgcI3T-ngwa64lpO/s1600/IMG_2243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLX2IUlkEM6NObAC46CjdK808d9AdCS5rUbuCgBkPP-iA-3m3CcAHf7BSYyxnuTI4THZCEAMH7gYox11TBX0TA9HR8yeJ3rHvMqRG5b9eShctOq3fa58R7JunCY3bHXgcI3T-ngwa64lpO/s640/IMG_2243.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRsCj0U3HoXwnibFutwObs-Scau6Mp2cZV5rQH4R3_xKyL4-JwiCOy4grjwxf-KLThxscW-81iAWax-AWAbR6pe5kiQLOoDxqvaRdH0LSDOB0bU62kSt0VEF9vQ99mUtEYqRK4g9KYFrr/s1600/IMG_2247.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRsCj0U3HoXwnibFutwObs-Scau6Mp2cZV5rQH4R3_xKyL4-JwiCOy4grjwxf-KLThxscW-81iAWax-AWAbR6pe5kiQLOoDxqvaRdH0LSDOB0bU62kSt0VEF9vQ99mUtEYqRK4g9KYFrr/s640/IMG_2247.jpg" width="510" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally we have Biscoff Ritz Cookies. Ritz crackers with Biscoff spread and dipped in almond bark. This was my favorite treat. These cookies call to me. Sweet and salty goodness!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFyqT1DT_gOGmWC2V8D_CgHHxk-PAV5Gqz8496dKDUONh4Qn7yVrG1PTgF4P57fxxzgCyDvGtXJ34uYVDD08tdK-T6-R-p2lbIpIo3GajSaQ4AotAjZuckeZLklqHVe4JFVhGYfQv2nYrx/s1600/IMG_2257.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFyqT1DT_gOGmWC2V8D_CgHHxk-PAV5Gqz8496dKDUONh4Qn7yVrG1PTgF4P57fxxzgCyDvGtXJ34uYVDD08tdK-T6-R-p2lbIpIo3GajSaQ4AotAjZuckeZLklqHVe4JFVhGYfQv2nYrx/s640/IMG_2257.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

<b>Biscoff Ritz Cookies</b><br />
<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/plainchicken/biscoff-ritz-cookies?tmpl=%2Fsystem%2Fapp%2Ftemplates%2Fprint%2F&showPrintDialog=1" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">(Printable Recipe)</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
1 sleeve Ritz Crackers<br />
1/2 cup Biscoff Spread <br />
8 oz vanilla almond bark<br />
Spread some Biscoff spread on half of the Ritz crackers. Top with remaining crackers to make a sandwich. <br />
Melt the almond bark in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until it’s melted and smooth. Dip each sandwich in the melted almond bark, turning to coat. Place on wax paper and add sprinkles if desired. Allow to cool for about 20-30 mins before serving.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoy the treats! I'll be back soon with some meal planning tips!<br />
