About Me
- Mrs. H.
- I am a christian, saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and member of the Lord's church. I am blessed to be a helpmeet, mother of two, and keeper of the home. I live on one dream-come-true acre with my husband of seventeen years, my daughter, my son, numerous barn cats, seven chickens, two dogs, two show pigs and one pot belly pig! I schooled my children during their elementary years in our homeschool "Heritage Schoolhouse." :-) They are now in public intermediate school and public high school. I substitute teach occasionally for our local school district. I enjoy exploring all things domestic and celebrating the simple pleasures of life. I count my blessings every day and never take one day for granted. :-)

It's so cute! Do you fill it with something special? One of these days I'll get my act together and make one.
Yes, the children get a treat every evening. Sometimes it's candy that fits in the box. Other times it's a craft or something that doesn't fit inside and then they get a little note telling them where to look to find it!
My sister gave us this box years ago and we love it. I have seen several ideas on the web to make your own. One cute one used a muffin tin -

Some things are surprises, but they know every year to expect a popcorn tin on a Friday for movie night, a box of chocolate covered cherries one night, and an ornament.
It's a tradition that I don't think they'll ever grow out of. ;-)
I saw that one! Its adorable. I always say I'll make one over the summer, but then the heat comes and the desire fizzles.
I like the idea of leaving them notes where to find things, and I'm totally going to borrow the popcorn tin and movie. My two have been asking me to buy A Charlie Brown Christmas, they'd love getting a popcorn tin with it. Thanks!
