Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a former editor living in the woods of Wisconsin with my husband, four children, and lots of pets. I created this blog as a place to gather my thoughts and share ideas as I squeeze in some writing whenever the kids aren't looking.

Homemade Gingerbread Playdoh

I’m so glad I still have a little helper who gets excited about making things like homemade Gingerbread Playdoh. Lily and I made a batch using Sugarbelle’s recipe this morning. It filled the kitchen with a nice, Christmas-y scent and the warm dough was very relaxing to knead.

We played around with different packaging techniques and ended up using a bit of fabric left over from last year and borrowing Sugarbelle’s idea of tying a gingerbread man cookie cutter to the jar. We’ll definitely be making more gingerbread playdoh over the break to play “bakery.” And I’ll file the recipe away to make more gifts for next year.
