January Gramma in a Box

By At the Fence


Hey neighbors!!

If you have never heard of Gramma in a Box, you are missing out!!  This is a really fun box to complete with your children, grandchildren, even your spouse.  My husband actually helped me with mine this month!!  He melted the chocolate discs, mixed ingredients and even decorated a couple cookies.  Of course he ate quite a few too!!

We started out with the New Year Sparklers.  After he melted the chocolate discs we dipped the pretzel rods in the chocolate, just the tips about 1/3 of the way down.  We then added the pastel dots over the chocolate on the rods.  He barely waited for them to set before he tried one!!



Game Day Crunch was next on our to do list.  For this one we used a bowl to which we added the popcorn, broken up pretzels, cranberries, candy coated chocolate bits and peanuts.  Next we poured the rest of the melted chocolate into the bowl and stirred it all up.  We spread it out on the wax paper that was included in the box.  He definitely ate some of this before it was set.




Last treat we worked on were the cookies.  We received 2 football, two shooting stars and the numbers to make up 2020.  We clipped the tips of the bags the frosting were in and quickly decorated the cookies and then added sprinkles.




Gramma in a Box is a monthly subscription box that comes filled each month with just about everything you need to make there or four treats.  Also included in the box you will find cards for each project that walk you through step by step.  You will also find on the cards information regarding any allergens that might be in that project.  For example this month there were peanuts in one of the projects.

From Terry:   Gramma in a Box is an idea I developed when three of my grandchildren moved to Seattle. I was always boxing up cookies and treats that we could make together when we Skyped.  Once I shared this idea with other friends and family, the concept for Gramma in a Box was born! 

Gramma in a Box ships the first week of each month.  If you are wanting in on the February Valentines box, you must sign up by Feb. 3rd.  Try your first box for $20.  If you sign up to receive the monthly box with a credit or debit card, your first box is just $10.  Subscribe HERE.  Gramma in a Box was featured on one of the local tv stations.  HERE

Thanks for stopping by today!!

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

By At the Fence
When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

By At the Fence
Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
