So, I may not have mentioned this yet, but for the past week, we have been moving. In case you haven’t moved lately, it’s pretty much the worst thing ever, especially when you’re pregnant and it’s 95 degrees outside.  It makes me feel murderey, so...

  I did not go Black Friday Shopping this year.   Partly because I was scared.  Seriously, I saw a You Tube video of a huge mob of people hurting each other over $2 waffle makers.   Waffle makers.   And not to be mean or anything, but I got a good look at...

  So guess what?   It’s almost Halloween time!!   And since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought we’d recap some of the mad delicious  treats I’ve whipped up so you can get your bake on this weekend.   Unless you’re like me,...

  I spent the weekend in New Orleans with my husband.   Which sounds like tons of fun, except for the fact that since Jon David wasn’t coming, I had to leave him with his Gram.   And in case you didn’t know, I am the worst kid leaver EVER.   I keep...

Hey guys!!   I am sharing these fun, gross, and totally simple Brains In a Jar over on Living Locurto.  She’s even made free printable tags to go with!!   Click HERE for the post.   Hope to see you over there!!  (If you don’t click over, it will look...

  I’ve got lots of stuff to tell you today!!   First, I am guest posting for my fabulous friend Bridget from Bake at 350.  She is currently shooting photos for her upcoming book and I am the lucky girl who gets to fill her shoes in internet land today!! So if you...

  My seven year old son has trouble wrapping his mind around the fact that I am not going to grow anymore.   “Mom, when you get taller you won’t have to scootch the seat in the car up so close, won’t that be good?”   “Jon David, I...

  So today is the day that I tell you one of my family secrets.   And seriously, this secret is either going to make you hate me, or connect with me on such a deep emotional level that you’ll come over and watch Zoolander with me and we can braid each others hair....

As someone who has loved playing pranks their entire life, I understand that with every prank, I must first evaluate the risk involved. You know, like how bad will payback be. With my husband, I usually know that he will forget to pay me back.  Because although he likes the IDEA...

So I’ve heard that pie is the new cupcake. Which, I guess is cool. I mean…I like pie.  Don’t we all?  But I got to thinking the other day–there are downsides to pie being the #1 cool dessert kid. Like…it’s sort of messy to try to eat by hand....

Once upon a time, many years ago (okay, like 3 years ago) my little boy had a pirate birthday party. And because I am such a sweet, nice, caring mom, I made him dress up like this: And maybe the hat annoyed him a little and the wig was just a TEENSY bit itchy and he wasn’t...

Guess what? It’s Earth Day, y’all! And in honor of Earth Day, the Nature Conservancy came up with the idea of having a Picnic For the Planet, to encourage us to come together with our communities and enjoy what nature has to offer. And food. Lot’s of food....

One thing you may not know about me, is that I’m always full of really good ideas. I’m pretty much the female Benjamin Franklin of our time (with better hair and sparklier), but UNFORTUNATELY, I am not recognized as such. I blame my husband. He stifles my creativity....

I am a firm believer that one of the most useful things you can learn when it comes to baking is how to make a decent looking cake. And you know what? It’s not as hard as you might think. I originally wasn’t going to post this cake. I was in a hurry the day I...
