Today I wanted to share my recipe for beautiful and fun Valentine’s Day cupcakes with you all. These are delicious red velvet cupcakes with pink vanilla frosting. I got into the spirit of love by decorating them with red sugar, heart sprinkles, and large conversation hearts. These would be fun to make for your children’s …

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 …

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 …

Oh, the joys of getting on an airplane with little ones in tow. A few months ago I had my first plane flight with my son solo. We were flying from Disney World in Orlando back home to LA and I felt like I was doomed from the beginning. My son and I were both …

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 …

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 …

This is my family’s recipe for the BEST homemade sugar cookies and frosting. It’s a family tradition for all of us to get together around Christmas time to make and decorate these. My husband loves these cookies so much that he gobbles down a dozen in one sitting. Since he loves them so much we …

On Day 5 of our Baby Gizmo 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, we asked everyone to tell us one of the funniest things they have heard a child say. Wow! The responses were pretty darn funny! We went through all of them and we’ve learned that 2 year olds are hilarious, kids love to talk …
