I’m not sure I understand Elf on the Shelf. I mean, I think it’s adorable. From what I gather, the little fella, or gal, pops in to keep an eye on kiddos, and make sure they’re staying outta trouble, yes? The elves report back to the Big Man himself on whether the kids are being […]...
I really agonized this year over what to make for a Back to School treat. I try to do one every year (like my Fauxstess Cupcakes and my Chalkboard Cookies), and they’re always so much fun, but I was pretty stumped this year. I think with the kiddo going into his Junior year now, it’s […]...
My friend Callye of The Adventures of Sweet Sugarbelle recently recruited a bunch of us to get creative with a star shaped cookie cutter. If you know Callye, you know that she is one lady who knows how to be creative with her many, many cookie cutters. She is amazingly gifted. Unfortunately, I was still […]...
If you follow me on Facebook, then you probably know that I’ve recently begun attending Zumba at my gym. Here are some important factors to take into consideration before I go on: I have little to no rhythm. Meaning that I can sing decently, but moving my feet, hips, and arms all at the same […]...
Let me tell you a little something about these cakes: they were a true labor of love. These are the cakes that I made, and the Hubster and I shared, for our tenth anniversary. Here’s a fun fact about the Hubster: he loves vintage typewriters. Not like, old 80s electric typewriters, but very old, clickety-clackety […]...
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have important Valentine’s Day stuff to talk about today. It’s all about the red and hearts and love. Okay. Not really. Well…maybe the love part, actually. You might have noticed (if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter) that I didn’t socialize much this weekend. That’s because I was taking it […]...
At the risk of sounding completely broken in the brain, I have to ask, do you guys ever get distracted by things that sparkle? I know, I sound like a three year old right now. Seriously, though, you know those GIFs that say things like, “I don’t have A.D.D., I just… Ooooh look! GLITTER!”? Well, […]...
I have a last minute surprise for you guys. I was inspired by two things for this cake today. The first was this lovely little snitch ornament on Pinterest. The second was this AMAZING snow globe cake by Amanda of i am baker. Okay, so my cake doesn’t have an incredible snow globe inside, but […]...
I’m posting on a Sunday. This is totally weird. It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone or something, except in color, and with baked goods instead of, like, scary aliens or murderous dollies. Several weeks ago, as I was perusing Pinterest for nothing in particular, I came across this gorgeous photograph of flowers laid out […]...
Halloween is in one week. Seriously, guys. One. Week. Where in the heck has the year gone?! I feel ike I was just making Valentine’s Day treats last week, and now I’m whipping up festive Halloween goodies already. It’s no surprise that the year has flown by for me…I am, like, the worst judge of […]...
