So I find this peek into what some great writers used/use for food muses especially clever. … Read More ...
As one who has suffered life-threatening illness in and out of hospitals for half of my life (and I’m pretty old, almost forty! egad),any tales of medical woe and tragedy evoke instant heartache.

I spotted this Xylophone cake with instructions on Pinterest, but couldn’t find the original source. A little digging and I found it on a few sites claiming it’s from Woman’s Day.

Despite my respect for the laws of Clinton and Stacy, I wear flip flops from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Unless I go out dancing (then it’s heels with a strap, of course). And none of that has anything to do with these super cute flip flop cookies, so I have no idea what compelled me to share. Anyway, … Read More ...
Not only is the theme for this 1st birthday party created by Smashed Peas and Carrots darling, but I’m a total sucker for aqua and red, and the pink thrown in just throws it over the edge (you must see the guest of honor’s outfit in the blog post). For all the details of this impressive dessert table, click HERE… Read More ...
I just spotted yet another themed birthday party that’s so adorable, I’ve started pushing “sailboats” as a potential new passion for my kid.
