Meet Daredevil and Chicken Little
We went to a birthday party on Saturday afternoon for our old neighbors daughter who was turning one. The birthday party was at a fun little place called The Elite Gym. The Elite Gym is full of trampolines, inflatables, slides, big rope swings, foam pits to jump into, etc. Anything a child would need to…
They say variety is the spice of life
This caramel apple tart is a much easier version of apple pie! I am so tired of making apple pies. My husband loves apple pie. Every weekend he always asks “are you making me an apple pie this weekend?” He’s even willing to do the daunting task of peeling and slicing the apples if I…
A Big Dose of Confidence
It’s amazing how having a successful attempt at something you have wanted to do for so long can give you that extra boost of confidence you need. This past weekend I made the Lighter Than Air Chocolate Cake Roll and it was a huge, delicious success. For so many years I’ve been watching people make…
Power of Suggestion
I am a marketers dream. I am the target audience that marketers go after when they are trying to entice customers merely by the power of suggestion.

Today was the first day of getting back on the "follow my menu plan" bandwagon, and I have already had to stray. I wrote out my list of meals last week and when I went to prepare everything for tonight’s Chicken Marsala from the Good Home Cookbook, I realized I was missing the main ingredient….
Food and Wine Challenge – The list and a fellow blogger request

Dinner party diaries – The Annual Christmas Party
Great Friends, great food and a whole lot of fun… that completely sums up our dinner party last night. It was absolutely perfect. The evening started at 6:30pm. Our two oldest children were down the street with a babysitter. I took the chance on keeping the baby here, thinking she would go to bed early….
The Place Card Lineup
I’m going to preface this entry with this…Martha Stewart I am not. I am not a very crafty person. If I attempt a craft, I need step by step instructions, preferably with pictures, and then usually after reading through said instructions, I need to watch a video or something. I can copy like no nobody’s…
