I have been beyond busy and trying to catch up (i’m sorry) but I have learned in life some days you have to make time for yourself otherwise life stops being fun.
I was reminded by some friends last month to BREATH. I jotted it down in my journal and forgot about it…..until I realized I was forgetting to breath.
In my breathing I realized I missed my friends. I realized I hadn’t really been the friend to them as I wanted to be so I invited them over for a little Holiday Treat Exchange and what fun was had!!!!
I made Peanut Buttery Snap Crackle’n Pop Brownies a recipe I got from amandanadkevin.com – I modified it and should have used more marshmallow……but they were yummy!

I made some yummy food for everyone a tortilla turkey wrap tree, veggie bruschetta and some dips.


I also made some snowman doughnut milk treats. They were so easy to make and they looked so cute!

I was so proud of my Charlie the Snowman center piece I couldn’t wait to show him off!!!!

I had platters for everyone to take their new treats home along with a mini stocking with a hot chocolate mix.

I love decorating and couldn’t wait to show off my Winter/Christmas decor…
here is a sneak peak!

My friends started showing up and so did their yummy treats.
