Acts of Kindness is so important right now. February has always been my favorite month. Maybe it’s because I am a sucker for love and could eat my weight in sweets? Or maybe it’s because my birthday is the day after Valentine’s Day so instead of being sad that the love, cards, and candy are …
One of my babies turned six last week! Yes, SIX! Where does the time go? Before I know it, I’m going to blink and be packing him up for college. *sniff sniff* Since I obviously can’t make time stand still, I make a huge deal out of birthdays. Streamers, balloons, cakes and the works. My …
I absolutely love grocery shopping. It’s kind of the highlight of my weeks. Maybe it’s because I love to plan, make lists, cook, organize, and shop! I like staying really organized when I shop because when I’m not, I end up buying a cart full of donuts and ice cream and spending $300. Below, I’ve …
Since my son is only one years old, I’ve only thrown one birthday party for him so far. He will turn two in a few months and I’ve begun thinking of party themes for his birthday along with ideas of things all the little ones in attendance can do for fun while there. I think …
Being a mom, I know first hand how difficult it can be to get any alone time. What is “me time” anyway? I’m with my son 24-7 and I wouldn’t change that for the world but I think it’s very important that us moms get pampered once in a while, even if pampering for a …
As I have mentioned before, I did a lot of baking over the holidays. Cake, cookies, bars and now bread. To be fair this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is what I would consider “dessert bread”. It’s not your typical sliced bread that you throw some lunch meat on and call it a day. …
It’s time for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Billionaire Bars! Today I’m sharing another treat that I made during the holidays for my family. As usual, they requested chocolate chip cookies but I ALWAYS make those cookies. Sure, the cookies I make are amazing but I wanted to make something different. I figured I would include …
It’s time for the best Pumpkin Crunch Cake you’ve ever tasted! While visiting family out of town for the holiday this past weekend, I baked so many yummy goodies that it’s truly hard for me not to share them with you all at once. Not to overwhelm you, I’m sharing the recipes one by one …
It’s time for Pecan Pie Truffles! It’s a holiday with the family which means I’ve been a baking fool the past few days. Normally, I would wait until I return home to share some of the recipes with you, but this one couldn’t wait. The family is going crazy on how delicious these little balls …
Today I’m sharing my recipe for Christmas Candy Cane Kiss Cookies. Try saying that five times fast. Every year around Christmas I take a week to bake all kinds of delicious treats for my family, friends, and neighbors. This year I decided to make some extra festive sugar cookies complete with a delicious peppermint candy …
Unless you been living in a cave, you know that cake pops have been hugely popular in the last couple years. Kids love ’em. Adults love ’em. Basically, who doesn’t like a cake pop?!? Well, today for “Foodie Friday” I am changing up the cake pop game and taking out the cake and putting in …
Health and fitness are very important to me, but like any busy family, sometimes it’s difficult to eat healthy food. When you’re out and about, driving through McDonalds for a burger and fries sounds so much more appealing and easier than going home and cooking a meal yourself. Because eating right and staying in shape …
