Lost the PJ's under the tree? NEVER AGAIN!! Come and see!

So, I know that a lot of us have the tradition of new PJ's opened on Christmas Eve.  I so love this tradition and do it every year but I always had one problem...which ones are the PJs? I'd try marking them but they would still get mixed in and I would spend a good amount of time under the tree (with antsy kids I might add) searching and sorting trying to find my marked presents until I had this idea! I made up a "Santa Sack" that I put all the PJ's in. Its looks darn cute under the tree too!  Then Christmas Eve I just grab the sack and let the kids get their packages from it.  Simple, easy fix!! What do you do to keep the PJ's separate and easy to find?? Comment! I'd love to hear!!

    That is a perfect idea! It would be fun, too, if the "sack" were a fun pillowcase for the kids to use all year, too! I love thinking about Christmas in July when there is no pressure.

Cheese Dreams-a 1950's Vintage Appetizer Recipe

I love love love this recipe and so does my family! Even my kids friends were raving about them and I have fuzzy memories of eating them at my Aunt Carol's house when I was very small. They are beautiful (in spirit more than looks) and wonderful and you should try this recipe!    The Charming History of the Cheese Dream If you’ve ever bitten into a golden, toasty Cheese Dream, you know there’s something timeless about it — that perfect mix of crisp bread, bubbling cheese, and cozy nostalgia. But this humble little appetizer actually has quite a history, stretching back more than a century. The Cheese Dream began showing up in American kitchens in the early 1900s , when simple, satisfying meals were the heart of home cooking. It started as an open-faced sandwich — just bread, cheese, and a little butter, broiled until bubbly and golden.  By the 1940s , the Cheese Dream had secured its spot on lunch counters and diner menus across the country. It was the perfect quick b...
