We are in the midst of what’s been dubbed, “Snowpacolypse”. We really aren’t expected to get much snow, mostly ice.  But in Arkansas, this is a BIG DEAL — all CAPITAL LETTERS. People are fighting over bread and milk at the local Walmarts.  This....

Want to know the best thing ever? When your husband comes home and watches the baby while you cook dinner and almost dies from exhaustion. Seriously — THE.  BEST. Not that I want him to actually DIE from exhaustion, of course. But a healthy brush with death via infant...

So I have decided that this is how I’m eating all my fruit from now on. Can’t it be a thing?  Fruit covered in caramel, chocolate, and toasted coconut? Fruit is fruit, people.  It still counts. An apple a day and all that.  Pretty sure it doesn’t go “an...

I know we’ve talked about my love of carnival food before. Love it. LOOOOVE. ITTT. I know that as I get older, I should be craving quinoa and kale and that “good quality” dark chocolate that women are always raving about, but I don’t. I just don’t....

It’s the wrap up of Halloween Party week and a link party! This week, Shelly and I decided that it would be Halloween Party Week and made treats that are perfect for your next party. I hope you got tons of great inspiration!!   Let’s take a look back…...

Do you ever get frustrated with everyone in your house for eating all the food? I swear.  It feels like I live at the grocery store. Every time I turn around, we are out of something.  And I don’t know why, but it kind of makes me mad. The other day I bought a box of...

Today we are talking about cake. I like talking about cake, don’t you? I mean, we could talk about how many loads of laundry are currently wrinkling in a basket because you didn’t put them away right after pulling them out of the dryer. I know better.  I do. ...

So I am 99% sure that Lucy has initiated some sort of conspiracy against me. She’s adapted this new rhythm in the way she cries.  And by rhythm, I mean that LITERALLY.  It’s like she learned an acceptable fake cry, and repeats the same noises OVER AND OVER AND...

My husband has been trying to talk me into going on vacation all Summer. I’ve tried to tell him that it’s not happening until the baby is a bit older.  I mean, I love a good vacation as much as the next guy, but I don’t love sitting in a condo staring at beachy...

Awhile back, I asked some of you on Facebook what cupcakes you’d like me to create. I guess you are some partying people, because a lot of you asked for Fair/Carnival themed cupcakes for birthdays. Obvi, these aren’t cupcakes, but after making the Funnel Cake...

Dear Two Different Men Who Told Me I “Had My Hands Full” : First off, I’d like to compliment you on your ability to point out the obvious. Not many people are born with such talent, but you were obviously given special privilege when the Talent Train drove...

  Lately I have been trying to diet and it isn’t working. AT ALL. Because the people who say that you should have a few bites of chocolate or whatever so that you will stop craving it are LIARS. What happens is, you keep going back for more tiny bites until...

Let’s talk about bombes. If you don’t know what a bombe is, it means you haven’t been living fancy enough. And we need to fix that immediately. A bombe is ice cream frozen into a spherical mold. Seriously. That’s it!! Geez… I can’t believe...

Guess what, y’all?? It’s Candy Bar Week up in herrr!!! As you might know, my friend Shelly and I like to team up and do theme weeks from time to time.  And this week, our friend Bridget is joining, too!! Why a classy lady like her is hanging out with a couple of...
