Witch Hat Cookies!

I like the way this is going right now. I actually remembered to write an entry today. We did a fun little project last night and I would love to share it with you all. We have more coming up as well!

We all love Pinterest, and every once in a while I get to actually do one of the projects or try one of the recipes that I've pinned. Well, last night we did that. I usually like to bake my own cookies, but last night at about 9pm (yeah, I know that's late with a 4 year old) we were headed to the store and hit up the cookie aisle. I saw these cute little witch hat cookies on Pinterest, and said to myself "Those look so frickin easy, I would be a fool not to try it." So here they are. Our fancy little witch hat cookies, and one little Hershey's kiss broom.

- We went to the cookie aisle and grabbed some Keebler fudge stripes dark chocolate cookies.

- We picked up some dark chocolate Hershey's kisses from the candy aisle.

- I already had some store bought frosting. (I really don't like store bought frosting, but it was good that I had something on hand.)

- I used some hot pink and blue food coloring to make the frosting purple.

- I put the frosting into a cake icing bag, and screwed on a tiny flower tip (because my little one had actually stolen the tiny round tip, I found it after the matter) I stock up on these supplies because I know I will get use out of them. I bought a simple Wilton cake decorating kit in the baking aisle of Walmart, and it has come in very handy for decorating cookies and other goodies.

- I used some leftover decorating sprinkles to decorate the ugly seams!

This was a really fun project! My four year old had a little bit of a hard time using the icing bag, but she tried very hard and the Hershey's kiss did stick to the cookie. That's what really matters.

I give this project a 5 star review.

A Little Update...Married, New House, and Settling In...

It's been a while since I have posted a new blog. Well, it's time. 

We got married in August, and I spent three and a half months back home in Maine. That was stressful and a little bit of fun. I'm glad to be home now. Oh! About that. We bought a house. I still can't believe it. We were not planning on buying a house, but the opportunity jumped out at us, we thought about for a while, and here we are. It's not a big fancy house or anything, but it is perfect for us.

I am still at home with our little Willow, but I would love to be bringing in an income. It's frustrating, but I am working on it.

So on to the fun stuff! Samhain is coming up and we have some fun things planned. The little Willow and I have some craft projects planned, some cooking and baking, we need to pick out big pumpkins to carve, and have some treats on hand just in case we have trick or treaters.

We also have a "house" altar in our living room. It's on top of an old dresser that we got with the house we bought. Right now it is covered in small pumpkins, gourds, a porcelain witch, a corn husk doll, and some other fall time/Samhain things. This altar gets smudged regularly, since there are so many things changing on it all the time. Willow is four and she can always find new things to add to it.

I figured that after this update I can start posting about sabbats and pagan parenting again. I'm pretty passionate about those things. I will also be posting some recipes, crafting projects,book recommendations,  family photos, house progress pictures, and I will be sharing more natural housekeeping recipes, tips, and tricks.

In the future I would like to post more about meditations, spells, and rituals. I would like to keep the spells simple, but powerful, and not expensive! To me, that defeats the whole purpose...spending a fortune on spell supplies all the time.
