I actually created this quite a while ago, but I was waiting until after this past weekend to post since it was a gift! One of my friends has a daughter with the same name as mine and they are 3 weeks apart in age! We love getting them together for play dates, and more… Continue reading Canvas Memory Board

Macarons!
Tomorrow we’re doing a photoshoot for my little girl, complete with a cake smash! Despite her main birthday colors being pink, green, and gold, I decided to play with color and bring in a rainbow of sprinkles for her cake. I’m always drawn to cake pictures that have dimension, and I’ve seen several that include… Continue reading Macarons!
Baked Ziti
Every Tuesday I take food over to my grandparents-in-law. I’m not sure if that’s really a word, but you get the gist. They like casseroles and comfort food, and I try to make something that will give them a hot meal and also provide my little family with leftovers. I also have to make sure… Continue reading Baked Ziti
Diaper wreath
When I was pregnant, I received a really pretty diaper wreath, covered in cute baby items – onesies, socks, bows, bath toys… I had made a diaper cake before, but had never seen or heard of a diaper wreath! I loved this idea and knew that I wanted to make one someday. Today I finally… Continue reading Diaper wreath
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Donuts
Good evening! I hope everyone is staying safe; the weather has been crazy lately. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes, and I’m sad for those who are now being affected by Irma. Today I decided to whip up something happy using ingredients already on hand, and I came up with… Continue reading Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Donuts
DIY Picture Frame
Lately I’ve been doing more projects, and the theme seems to be wood! Wood reminds me of Autumn, and I can’t wait for the cooler weather and pumpkin everything. I’m especially looking forward to sweater weather and boots! My little girl will turn one this Fall (where did the time go??), and I must do… Continue reading DIY Picture Frame
Coconut Cream Pie
As promised, here is my grandmother’s recipe for coconut cream pie. It is a variation of her chocolate cream pie, and it's delicious. I know coconut is not for everyone, but I love it, and it’s a great summer flavor. And should you want the chocolate version, just replace the coconut with a Hershey’s bar… Continue reading Coconut Cream Pie
Strawberry-Lemon Curd Tart
Can you believe it’s already August? Time has really been flying, and it has been entirely too long since my last post! I have been keeping busy with the little one and some sewing projects, including a baby quilt and a wipe and diaper holder for the car. I’m also always cooking or baking! Last… Continue reading Strawberry-Lemon Curd Tart
Snickerdoodles
I was thumbing through my grandmother’s cookbook the other day and came across her recipe for Snickerdoodles. I tend to forget about this kind of cookie, and then once I make them, I’m reminded again of how good they are. I love cinnamon and sugar together! I’m going to a dinner tonight and thought it… Continue reading Snickerdoodles
Minecraft Themed Party
This did not get posted yesterday, so pretend it is still the fourth! 🙂 Happy Independence Day! I LOVE themed parties and making decorations for them, so I decided to make another blog category, called “Celebrate!”. My nephew shares his birthday with today’s holiday, and he is obsessed with Minecraft. I decided to make him… Continue reading Minecraft Themed Party
