I can do cakes.  I can do pies.  Cookies, muffins, and breads.  But cupcakes.  This is one path I haven’t ventured down.  Sure, I’ve bought a box of cake mix and thrown it all together to make a cupcake here and there, but I’ve never actually made a cupcake from scratch.  And I’ve absolutely never … Read more →

We all have comfort foods.  Foods that take us back to a time in our life when everything was safe and secure.  No stresses.  No worries.  Just simple.  For most people, that goes back to their childhood.  You eat something that you ate when you were a kid, and you’re just taken back.  One of … Read more →

Today was quite the day.  The first day back to the office after working from home for the last two weeks.  Fought sleep most of the day.  Had to battle the crowds at the grocery store after work, which is my least favorite time to go to the store.  Once I got home, the sleepiness … Read more →

The first … Read more →

I know I’ve been a little MIA the last week or so.  I don’t know if anyone told you, but it’s kind of a busy time of year.  And I’m sorry blog world, but family time comes before blog time, especially when it comes to the holidays. But don’t you worry, I’ve still been making a … Read more →

I don’t know about you guys, but co-worker and neighbor gifts are really stressful to me.  Every year, I say I’m going to make little treats for all my co-workers, but for some reason, it never really pans out.  Between all the preparation for the holidays and lack of sleep, I just never seem to … Read more →

You know it’s going to be a long day when your morning looks something like this: shut off your alarm only to fall right back to sleep, get woken up by your kid an hour later after having a potty accident in bed, scrambling to get up cause you’re late now, and you think to … Read more →

I have been wanting to sit down and blog for the last few days, but there have been a few bumps in the road.  Let’s see – there was the time that my cookies fell completely flat, so I didn’t have much of a post there – oh, and then the time that I completely … Read more →
