Welcome to the party. The winter weather is upon us. I came to Pittsburgh, PA to see my sister. Wow, it is cold here. I couldn't live up north again. I am freezing, but we are having fun.
Have a found a delightful dessert to make for your sweetie? If not, I picked a few from last week that you might want to try.
The winter weather is upon us. Well at least part of the country. We will not be getting cooler weather until Monday night. Next week will be a big change from this past week where it was in the upper 70s. Next week the mid 50s. I can't complain since many will be dealing with really bad weather. Please be safe and careful.
A fun week to continue January and as I mentioned last week January is back to me, A Labour of Life. So Lets see what you have been up to.
For this week, I am going with an football theme with my features. Snow has me craving all things fun and unique and this week I think I have captured that.
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade holy moly 620 parties. . There has been so many great features shared with us every week and I truly hope Y’all continue sharing into 2026.
This week I choose some great projects and a lovely dessert for you to check out.
I mentioned last week January is back to me, A Labour of Life. So Lets see what you have been up to.
Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two or hosting a cocktail party for your galentines, these macramé heart coasters from My French Twist will definitely gather lots of compliments. If you’ve been wanting to learn macramé, this small project is great for beginners.
This White Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake from Rose Bakes is the perfect blend of sweet white chocolate and bright raspberry flavor – a delicious cake that’s dressed up enough for special occasions yet simple enough for weeknight baking.
The football party – and tailgating – has been elevated to a whole new level. A level that includes mason jars and paint and duct tape and … well … all the great and creative ideas collected here today.
The laundry center is designed to be a washer and dryer, but Studio 27 wanted her playhouse to have two separate appliances.
What a fun Renofor the kids.
We are so loving our organized pantry make-over! Part of that organization was a new hook for our aprons.I tend to collect aprons,but the collection was getting too massiveI sorted through and got it down to a few that we use on a regular basis.
So on the wall just inside the pantry door,I added a simple apron hook.

Happy New Year Everyone, hard to believe another year has passed us by and 2026 is upon us. There has been so many great features shared with us every week and I truly hope Y’all continue sharing into 2026.For a New Year I am trying something new for theme focus.
For this week, celebrating all that is winter and to deal with all the snow and cold, I chose a Soup theme. Is there anything better than a hearty soup to ward off the chill.
A fresh soupy start, and as I mentioned last week January is back to me, A Labour of Life. So Let's see what you have been up to.
These Great Northern Beans with Leftover Ham Bone are close to soup or stew, thick and creamy, just what comfort food is all about!
Kay from Old School Cooking! tells us her Mother was an old-school cook who made use of the simple conveniences available at the time. She used the ham bone to build the flavor of the beans and followed up with salt and pepper to taste, resulting in pure comfort food at its best.
Flour on my Face shares Beef Barley Soup with a thick and rich broth full of flavor made in a pressure cooker.
This Hamburger Soup in the Slow Cooker from 3Boys and a Dog is a favorite of over 50 ground beef recipes in their arsenal of yummy belly fillers! You can adapt the ingredients to better fit your family.
Make a pot of winter minestrone filled with rich broth, tender veggies, and pasta. It’s wholesome, satisfying and the best cold-weather food.
Let’s talk about the kind of soup that doesn’t just warm you up — it revives your soul. The kind that makes your kitchen smell like an Italian restaurant and a cozy cabin had a delicious little baby. The kind that makes your family wander in asking, “WHAT is that smell?” even though you literally just sautéed onions and garlic like the domestic goddess you are.
This Creamy Chicken Parmesan Shell Soup is exactly that kind of recipe.

Happy New Year Everyone, hard to believe another year has passed us by and 2026 is upon us. I hope your holiday season was wonderful. Mine was so good, I forgot to post the party last night. :)
There has been so many great features shared with us every week and I truly hope Y’all continue sharing into 2026.
A fresh start, January is back to me, A Labour of Life. So Lets see what you have been up to.
First off, surprise, I am starting my year off with a pretty Tablescape.
Anne's Entitled Life listed this as New Year’s Eve but it can be used at any party where you have a bar, engagement parties, weddings, Mardi Gras, Roaring 20S Party, the list is endless.
This is super easy to make. You are using leftover Christmas ornaments, an old floral container, and an old candlestick. If you do not have items to upcycle, look for an oversized martini glass, or champagne glass at your local party supply store and use that.
An organized Season brings something food and fun for the New Year. Have you been wanting to set up a hot chocolate bar but are not sure where to begin? We’re sharing simple steps to put together a festive station and providing free labels you can use!
Easy Crock Pot Cherry Jalapeno Meatballs is a sweet and spicy holiday appetizer recipe perfect for all your holiday parties. Flour on my Face sure caught my attention.
For this recipe The Recipe Idea Shoppe uses long-grain rice, tender chicken, and a beautiful blend of lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, and classic Mediterranean spices like oregano and thyme. The result is a wonderfully creamy, rich, and tangy dish that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
Rounding out our almost Foodie week is a French Onion Meatloaf from More or Less Cooking. A cozy and delicious variation of a traditional recipe. I blend juicy ground beef with a handful of ingredients, featuring the essential French onion soup spice blend. Bake this delectable dish that will fill your kitchen with incredible aromas and have your family rush to the dinner table!
