Surprise!! It’s Ben & Jerry’s Week!! Shelly and I love teaming up to do theme weeks from time to time, and a few weeks ago, we decided to organize a Ben & Jerry’s Week.  We are so in love with their ice cream and creative flavor pairings, and we’ve...

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! 61 Jennifer says: February 28, 2013 at 9:32 am (Edit) I would probably use it for 2 things. Cupcake toppers and also, my BF may be getting deployed soon (Army) and I plan on making him a scrapbook of things that go on while he is gone. This would come in...

I was at Target the other day, looking for things I don’t need, when I came across these adorable Spider Cupcake Stands. Of course, I had to buy them.  I am convinced that Target specializes in mind control — they probably pipe it into the popcorn smell, which is...

If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you know that I have a love/hate relationship with Twinkies. Meaning, I love to eat them and HATE when I reach in the box only to find that someone put it back in the cupboard empty. Which happens.  Often. I mean, I deal with...

This week, I am 27 weeks pregnant. Aaaaannndd….yesterday I got to see the baby!! A few weeks ago, Jon David told me he wished that he could see Lucy.  When we had our 20 week ultrasound to determine the gender, he was so busy trying not to cry (because it was not a boy) ...

As you might know, I was gone most of last week touring the town of Forks with my friend Darla, then heading to the BlogHer Food conference in Seattle. I was completely nervous about the trip.  I’d never met Darla, and am not so great with crowds…especially crowds...

  As a blogger, it seems that I am often flooded with emails.   Emails about giveaways…product reviews…and often, emails asking to help support or draw attention to a cause.   I hate saying no.  If I could, I’d do every giveaway, and support every...

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Want to? My site has been jacked up off and on for the past few weeks. It worked.  Then it didn’t. Then it didn’t.  And still didn’t. And it was all totally out of my control. The problems started when I moved to...

One thing that you might not know about me is that I am a creature of habit. I like stability. Cleanliness. Order. It’s probably the thing that my husband loves the most AND least about me at the same time. One one hand, he always comes home to a clean (or mostly clean)...

Hey guys!! I am sharing these yummy treats over on my bloggy BFF’s super cute site, Cookies and Cups. They’re no bake!! And it’s hot out :) So make a batch for your kids and sneak most some of them for yourself.  And be sure to leave a comment so that Shelly...

Dear Jon David’s kindergarten teacher:   So listen.    I guess you know that my son brought home his journal from school. You know…the one that he wrote in every day? More importantly, the one you READ everyday? Yeah…that. I realize that school is out...

Just wanted to thank you all again for your help, whether it be by donations, prayer, or just helping spread the word. I am a firm believer in “what goes around comes around”, and I just know that you all have tons of awesome things coming your way! Thanks also to...

I’m back y’all!! Obviously, my trip was completely amazing. I mean, helloooo, it’s New York. The only real problem I had on my trip were my feet. Which almost fell off from all the walking. I’m thinking of inventing how to teleport places, and then selling...

Hi.  How’s it going?I know…no food picture up there. Weird, right? That’s because today I’ve decided to take a little break from baking (break from baking–say that three times fast) and address the question most frequently emailed to me....
