So, you know how sometimes all you want is a sugar cookie topped with a giant scoop of coconut frosting? Yeah, me too. Well, it just so happens that I’m sharing an EXCELLENT recipe for those EXACT cookies over on My Baking Addiction. I clicked over like ten times already...

My 7 year old son has recently become wise to the Easter bunny scam. Of course, this is the same child who believes that Spiderman defends the city of New York, so why a giant bunny delivering candy is such a far leap for him is beyond me.  But regardless, he creeps him out, is...

  I remember as a child, begging my mom to buy a coconut at the grocery store so I could drink the coconut milk. I desperately wanted to hold a half coconut in my hands and drink from it like I saw on TV. Finally my mom bought one and I discovered that not only are coconuts way...

I appreciate the finer things as much as the next person. Especially good purses and shoes. And expensive makeup. And nice clothes……and jewelery…. However, that love of finer things does not translate over to my taste in food. I much prefer a bologna sandwich to...

I  have told you before that I am a housewife. I get a lot of different reactions from people when they ask what I do for a living. The most common though is, “Oh, no way I could do that….I’d get so bored…..”. Anyone that says that, obviously has not...
