Phew! I’ve finally settled back into “real life.” This week life returned to normal. After two weeks of travels and excitement between King Arthur Flour Blog & Bake™, a conference for work the day after my return and then a family vacation two days later. I returned home, unpacked and the next day hit the kitchen.

Flowers are starting to pop up, undeterred by the intermittent cold snaps and daily walks with the girls and now Murphy, are once more become [...]

For me, life is all about the simplest of pleasures like the arrival of spring and the emergence of the first flowers that will soon grace our yard, watching my girls play together, Maddy make Molly laugh or Murphy wrestling a toy.

I am SO ready for winter to be over!!! I may have mentioned this recently. Seriously. I’m done. Tuesday the temperature was in the 50′s and the sun was brightly shining. We were walking through the neighborhood, going to the park with the girls and Murphy. Yesterday? 30′s-40′s. Cold, rain, snow. A wintry mess! I’m [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m not so big on this holiday. Never have been. I’m even less enthralled with it since I got married mostly because I have the good fortune of being married to a man who honestly makes nearly ever day feel like Valentine’s Day. I get little notes in the most obscure places. [...]

In my humble opinion, there’s really nothing better than cake. Hmm… well, maybe the only thing better than cake is handheld cake. I’m talking about whoopie pies people! Some people think of these little delights more like cookies while others think they’re more like cake. I’m on the cake side of the fence but we [...]
