Happy Wednesday! Happy Christmas Eve, eve, eve, eve, eve! Also, happy winter's Eve, as the winter solistice is tomorrow morning. This is the penultimate Wishlist Wednesday for 2017! Without further ado, here's the item I want most from Santa Claus this year: 

How to Make Your Own Vinegar- Dyed Rice (It's SO Easy!)

Kid- Friendly Cappuccino Pancakes Recipe (Only Takes 3 Ingredients!!!)

Honey Graham surprised me with these delicious cappuccino pancakes the other morning. They were sooooooo good and therefore, he wins the Good Husband award! Here's the easy recipe for them! 

Wishlist Wednesday: I Think My Oldest is a Ninja Turtle Edition

Handprint Christmas Wreath Craft: So You'll Always Remember How Little Their Hands Are

Cocoa Puff and I made this really cute handprint wreath and I couldn't WAIT to share it with you! It turned out SO CUTE! It didn't take very long and he was able to do a lot of it by himself once Mama did all the tracing and cutting.
