Well Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I hope you remembered to wear green today, or you’ll be hearing about it all day long. I spent my weekend working, hubby spent it spring-cleaning (bless him) and somewhere in there I found time to make a rainbow of DIY colored sugar. You know, for St. Patrick’s Day. (AndRead more
There are a lot of edibles that can be taken up a notch with some beautiful, colored sugars. These sugars are readily available in a lot of baking supply stores but can be up to $1 an ounce! Of SUGAR!? So for years, I’ve been making my own colored sugars. You can see them atRead more
As a blogger, it is hard not to get caught up in comparing yourself with everyone else. I mean, blogging by rights means that I am opening myself up to you all. Showing you what I made, what I think, and where I made it. The trouble is, there is this constant urge to hideRead more

Well, I made it through the weekend hacking and sneezing. :/ I’m looking forward to my bed, some hot tea and a bunch of nighttime cold medicine. I don’t like being sick. While you are here, don’t forget to hop over and sign up to win an iPad Mini or a Cannon Rebel T3i! WeRead more
Let’s just start off with my mom is awesome. I’m not bragging or anything, its just a fact. When I was little (and an only child at the time) she planned a Valentine’s Day party for my class. As part of her plans, she hand made bingo cards for each one of us. Without aRead more
Its a Birthday Party!!! My sweet bloggy friend Aubrey at Real Housemoms is celebrating her birthday AND the 200,000 FB fan milestone. I am thrilled to celebrate with Aubrey.
