German Chocolate Cake with Homemade Icing My husband’s 33rd birthday was this weekend, and his absolute FAVORITE cake is German Chocolate Cake. I must admit that I don’t make this cake often, because I am not a huge fan of coconut. Neither are the kids! Because it was his birthday I let him win. Gotta […]
Watermelon Stars – Perfect for 4th of July
Watermelon Stars My family and I had a barbecue for Mother’s Day, and what barbecue isn’t complete without watermelon?

Free Printable Mother’s Day IOU Coupons
I don’t know about you, but I don’t particularly want my kids and husband to spend a bunch of money on me, for Mother’s Day. I would love to just sleep in, and enjoy my family all day. A little pampering, or foot massage here and there, wouldn’t hurt either. I also love the kind […]
I Just Had a Daddy Day Care Bathroom Scene
