Heart Garland {For less than $5!}

For our monthly activity for our Relief Society (women's group) for February we put together a Valentines dance.

This dance was for couples, singles, friends, whomever wanted to come.

I am the one in charge of planning these activities, and after a little brainstorming with my committee (1 other girl), and some scrolling through Pinterest, we had a plan of what we wanted everything to look like.

I took over all of the decor, and I was really excited because I've never really done much in the way of decorating for Valentines, so I was ready to take on this new challenge.

We knew we wanted to do a little photo booth area with props and a simple background.
The background of the photos was just plastic white table cloths from the dollar store, and this heart garland I made.
This is the first garland I've ever made and I was pretty excited with how it turned out!
The nice thing is this garland isn't just for Valentines, you can whip this up for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
I've got pictures and instructions below for you to see how this all came together.

M&M Cookies

I love homemade cookies.

Warm from the oven with a nice cold glass of milk...mmmmm.
Can't get much better than that!

These cookies have been a favorite for a while, and I'm excited to share them here on the blog!

It all started one year, a little after Halloween.

My boys had lots of packs of M&M's and I thought this would be a good way to use them up.

We've had a chocolate chip cookie recipe we've used for years, but this time we had decided to add the M&M's and it was magical.
