It has been scorching hot here the past week. And I love every minute of it. Because come the middle of January (or let’s be realistic…November), those days are long past. I also love these chocolate dipped potato chips. Salty + sweet, we already know those two are a winning combination, so why would it be [Read more >>]
THESE little things…please, do not pass them up. The gals behind the blogs Shugary Sweets and Sally’s Baking Addiction are a couple other places that you will find different versions of these delicious little things. Let’s just say that even in the presense of my dessert-immune co-workers, these puppies did not stand a chance. {After the photos} They disappeared in approximately [Read more >>]
Is there anything worse than having to call customer service multiple times in one day!? Resulting in nothing but hours wasted on getting stuff back to normal, back to how it was intended to function/perform…Ugh. #firstworldproblems That’s how last Tuesday went. I very likely have less patience than a two-year old when it’s comes to calling customer [Read more >>]
Awkward moments. Life is filled with them. This seems especially true in my life. Maybe it’s me… It’s Thursday afternoon, I’m stuck in traffic. I tend to look at every car around me.

Somedays I feel like I live in Seattle, except for the brief period I was in Austin for the BlogHer Food Conference (more on that later). Enough complaining, because I truly can’t wait until July arrives. That means [Read more >>]

Okay, I’m fairly certain that Nutter Butter’s are the most universal cookie – in the world. Seriously, I’ve seen them used to make everything from reindeer to high heels. Not to mention, they taste dang good dipped in chocolate. I’ve decided to compile all of the ideas that other bloggers, crafters, and I have made [Read more >>] These sunglasses are stylin’ if you ask me. Who wouldn’t want to wear these!? Top Gun, anyone? I think the green ones are my favorite. (My hand was the most steady anyways.) These were really simple to make though. And you only need two ingredients plus cake writing icing and sprinkles if you wish to [Read more >>] Hello! I just wanted to share some last minute, cute ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week! I thought I would include a few of the best ideas that I’ve seen from around the web and compile them into one post for ya!
