With all of the shopping that I’ve been doing online lately, I have come home several times to a doorstep that looks like this! I love that I can keep track of when my packages are going to arrive thanks to UPS My Choice! There have been a number of reports of people stealing packages right off of people’s porches. Plus, you don’t want to get home with your kids and chance them seeing a special delivery! When packages require a signature, I hate it when I miss the delivery and have to drive to a UPS location to pick it up. With UPS My Choice, you can get alerts by text message or e-mail before packages arrive, re-route packages to another drop off locations, or electronically authorize packages for drop off! The best part is that registration is completely free, too!

Cooking With Kids Thursday: Gingerbread Playdough!
I came across this recipe on Pinterest for Gingerbread Playdough and just had to share. I think it is such a neat idea. My kids love playdough and we have spent hours making shapes and foods with it, but I have never seen scented playdough before. This would be so fun to make with the kids then they can “bake” with the playdough while I am doing all of my Christmas baking. I am thinking that I might also make some and find a cute way to package it in smaller sizes for the kiddos to give to their classmates for Christmas. Thanks for the recipe The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle!
Here’s what you need to make this:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp. ground cloves
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp orange extract {optional}
Here’s how to make it -> Gingerbread Playdough Tutorial
