For Our Feathered Friends…

As you already know, I just love animals and love to make them happy.  Now that it’s getting cold (in most areas), what better way to help out our little feathered friends, and furry ones too, than to set out a healthy snack?  That’s why I thought a handmade bird feeder would make a great Humpday Tutorial!

This is a great GREEN project to do inside with the kids and it’s very inexpensive to make.  Here is what you’ll need:

  • Pine Cones
  • Peanut Butter
  • Bird Seed
  • String/twine
  • A bowl for the seeds; a plate for the Pine Cones; and a spoon for the seeds and a knife for the peanut butter

Visit makeandtakes.com for the complete instructions and a how-to video!

Star Spangled

As you know, it’s Humpday Tutorial time and in honor of Veterans’ Day and the upcoming Holiday Season, I thought a cookie recipe would be great!  Now, this is not just any cookie recipe, it’s a HEALTHY Brown Sugar Almond Star recipe from Heart Healthy Living!!

This recipe makes about 36 (3-inch) cookies and only takes approximately 6 minutes to bake each batch!  Easy-peezy!  You can decorate them however you want and with whatever you want, be creative.  We do a Cookie Swap each year (this will be our 4th Annual) and this would be a great recipe for that too!  So grab your apron and your bakeware and make these great cookies today!

There’s a new Private in town…

Cpl. Molly, the Marines Mascot of 7 years, is retiring and letting 7 month old Pvt. Belleau Wood step in.

This is a tradition that goes back to 1939 with an English bulldog named James Jolly Plum Duff.  Belleau, this little “bundle of bounce,” was named after a World War I battle in France, and is already showing signs of that Marine Corps grit. ” ‘She’s really hardheaded on certain stuff,’ said Cpl. Shawn Dickens, her Marine handler.  For instance, ‘sit’ is solid. ‘Stay,’ well, that’s another tale.”  As for Molly, she will live her retirement in Texas with a Marine officer.

Happy Veterans’ Day to everyone and thank you to all of our brave troops for defending our country with pride.  We love you all and hope you all come home soon!  To my great friend, Sgt. Matthew Grogan, please be safe and we’ll see you for the Holidays!
