The Revenge season finale is tomorrow night, therefore, I can't actually share too much today because I don't want to ruin it for my guests. > read more

It's Revenge Week and you're invited to join us all week long as we plan, prepare and host a season finale viewing party for our closest Revenge-super-fan girlfriends. Invitations were couriered to invitees last week--because isn't that how Victoria Grayson would do it?--and most RSVPs arrived back within two days. My inspiration for the invitations came from the Fire and Ice Ball. > read more

A Word (or Maybe More) About Pinterest

Published on 2012-03-11 17:32:07

If you're on Pinterest, you're probably addicted. It just one of those things...insomnia? Pinterest. Waiting room at the orthodontist's office? Pinterest. The baby is sleeping? Pinterest. This is not a post about the new terms of service on the Pinterest website--read them and decide for yourself. This is also not about giving people credit for their ideas and images--that's an internet-wide pet-peeve of mine but as long everyone maintain a little common sense, I think we'll all be okay.

What Should I Wear? School Gala

Published on 2012-03-07 13:43:57

The school gala is coming up. It's an event that only happens every second year. I'm still uncertain if I'm going to go or not but I bought a dress just in case. I have no idea idea what to wear with it. What say you? So, this is what I wore to the last gala. I literally saw the outfit in a catalogue and bought the whole thing head-to-toe--that's how I shop. I added a black ruffled clutch. I also felt a little bit over-dressed. Gala 2010 I already have this dress in my closet and altho [..] > read more

Lunch for the Ladies

Published on 2012-01-25 06:00:10

I had a fun day today with two of my closest gal pals. We enjoyed a little girl-time getting pedicures and then I hosted a luncheon for them, followed up by an iPad tutorial. Speaking of iPads...I gave a lot of them as gifts this year. At least 10 of them. The first app I tell everyone about is Paprika Recipe Manager. It's definitely my most-used software program. It's also available for Mac computers and offers a handy Bookmarklet. No software or app is easier to save (or share) recipes. [..] > read more

Christmas Cake Pops {Linky}

Published on 2011-12-16 06:00:03

Christmas cake pops--yeah, I've made a few. I enjoy making them every year for the school staff and faculty. I mean, the faculty that don't actually teach my son--they get cupcakes. Sometimes I'll make a second batch closer to Christmas for friends and house guests. These ideas come from Bakerella, and I would never tell her to suck it. Nothing but respect. The first time I made cake pops, I made them in a non-sphere shape, and I'll probably never do that again. I thought I was being cle [..] > read more

Teacher Gifts From the Kitchen: Cupcakes

There are two things that the teachers and staff have come to expect at Christmas time: Cupcakes and Cake Pops. Today, I'll tell you about the cupcakes I sent in for HeHeelys' teachers. Last year, I gave cupcake 4-packs. This year, I decided to do a half dozen. My original plan was to make pretty pale-blue buttercream with white snowflakes but I changed my mind when egg nog got into my head. I knew I had to make an egg nog buttercream. Then, it came to me...Merry Christmas and Have a Happy [..] > read more

Christmas Treats From the Kitchen

Published on 2011-12-14 06:00:01

There's a lot of baking going on this week. I'm not complaining--I love it! So, amidst the baking, I decided to put together boxes of treats for a couple of special people. I had several flats of canning jars left over from our Kicking Off Summer barbecue and decided to put them to good use. Luckily, while the men were cooking their Mega Pot of Gumbo, I had my buddy here, too, and I put her to work! When they arrived, I had just finished baking a couple of batches of test cupcakes before ba [..] > read more

"Out of This World" Cupcakes

Another Friday, another high school dance. Another dance that my son won't be attending, but whatever. The theme is "Out of This World" and although I was too busy to help decorate the mezzanine, I've heard it was a decked out with silver and black, with green accents. Usually I make four dozen cupcakes--two dozen of each kind. This time, I made four different types of cupcakes, therefore, I kept the decoration simple.

Hey Chemistry geeks...Happy Mole Day. I learned about Mole Day a couple of years ago when my son asked me to make a Mole Day cake to bring to school. Thankfully, my mom was visiting at the time, so we made mini bunt cakes with moles popping out from the center...
