Hi Everyone! My name is Taryn. I’m the daughter of KaCee who started doingsplendid some years ago. I was looking on my mom’s blog, and I decided I wanted to be part of this amazing experience! So from now on, my mom and I will be writing on here to share some splendid ideas for […]
We made these fun and easy St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes to help us celebrate the upcoming holiday. They really were easy which is just the type of dessert I was looking for. Because they were so easy, my kids loved making them. I’m pretty sure putting sprinkles on cupcakes is my children’s favorite thing to […]
Raspberries are one of my very favorite foods, so its no surprise that I love this Raspberry Fluff Salad. It is so easy to make and takes only very few ingredients. Everyone that we have made it for loves it! We have tried it with different flavors of pudding mix, but mixing the white chocolate […]
These Spooktacular Cheesecake Swirl Brownies turned out so fun for Halloween! My daughter searched and searched for a fun Halloween recipe that we could try for Family Home Evening and found a recipe that inspired us to make these. We decided we could make it even more simple by using our favorite boxed brownie mix […]
This last summer when my friend was having a new baby boy, I wanted to make him something, but my mind was completely blank as to what to make. After I saw some of her nursery decor, which featured Calvin and Hobbes comics, I felt inspired and I knew what I wanted to create. Hooded […]
It’s good to be back on the blog! I can’t believe it has been a whole year since my last post, but I hope to be a much more regular contributor from here on out. My goal was to have 2 posts completed by the end of August. As you can see by my number […]
I have made lots of hooded towels over the years, but they are still my very favorite gift to give to a new baby. I made this sweet, Pink Teddy Bear Hooded Towel for a friend’s new baby and I think it turned out cute, which all hooded towels seem to turn out being. Especially, […]
Well, here I am again! I have taken a couple of months off from blogging, and hopefully I will get in a better routine, although I can’t make too many promises until school starts again. I always think of summer as so relaxing, and it is more relaxing than the school year, but it’s still […]
We love this fast and easy Creamy Spinach and Tortellini. It is delicious and can literally be on the table in 30 minutes. Now that is my kind of dinner lately. Our weeknights have been full of soccer practice and end of school year activities and our dinners need to be fast. This is one […]
A few days before Easter, yes a few days (I think I’m crazy), I decided I needed to make my kids some new Easter clothes. I didn’t have a lot of time, so they couldn’t be fancy at all, and I had to use what I already had on hand. I found some cute yellow […]
A couple of months ago, a family from church had a new baby boy and I wanted to make the baby something special. I remembered that when our three-year-old was born a family friend made our son a little baby quilt and I loved it. I was so touched that she would spend so much […]
When I was young, my mom used to always make Texas Sheet Cake for our family and even sometimes took one to work for her coworkers. It was delicious! I always looked forward to when she would make it, mostly so I could lick the bowl. I used to sit myself at the counter just […]
When my youngest son got invited to a little girl’s birthday party, I knew just what I wanted to make her! Homemade dolls are so cute and this homemade fabric doll turned out darling. We were so excited to take her to the birthday party! We couldn’t get enough of her though beforehand and had […]
When I was growing up, I would never even touch the salads that my mom and grandma made for my family. I would eat a plain green salad, but that is about as far as I could handle. As I have gotten older, and much wiser, I have come to realize how much I have […]
When my husband was a little boy he loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Scott, his brother, and all the neighbor kids would jump on the trampoline pretending to be the Ninja Turtles. It is quite a fond memory, so of course his love for the Ninja Turtles has rubbed off on our sons. I […]

Yummly is a free website where users can browse through recipes, add new recipes to the website, get recommendations for the […]
The other day my husband told me that I should make a blog completely dedicated to muffins, since I share so many recipes for them on here. Guess what…I’m sharing another one today! These Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins are so yummy. And they’re mini. What is it about mini food items that make them taste […]
It’s spring break here for our kids and when we are looking for fun things to do together, we can’t forget about all the great recipes we can make right here in our kitchen. I know my kids love to cook! Just yesterday, my 9 year old son made pancakes for the first time by […]
