Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, there is still a van part on back order. Which means the van is still nowhere ready for me to drive. And since Ben has to work tomorrow, it also means I won’t be doing any kind of Black Friday shopping. Stupid Hurricane. In the grand scheme of things, I know [...]
What’s the best way to kick off “Touched By an Angel” coming to GMC TV this September? By creating a holiday fun family TV Movie with Della Reese! Christmas Angel, which premiers this weekend, is “the story of a young girl who wishes for others in need to receive their Christmas wish . . . [...]
Apparently, the reason for this season is mass chaos, disorganization, and last minute panic. Seriously, HOW is Thanksgiving a week and a half away? Ben and I were supposed to visit his family in NC over Thanksgiving. And then with having a massive car inspection bill (yet again, thanks to my mechanically-challenged-so-let’s-ignore-it hubby), he hemmed and [...]

Can you believe Halloween is right around the corner? Around here, we look forward to Halloween from the first cool September breeze that reminds us hoodie weather is coming! My family has three birthdays, including Ben’s, right around Halloween, so the holiday is more than just trick-or-treating for us - it’s a huge celebration! If [...]
I’d like to think I’m a pretty good friend with good intentions. Unfortunately I am also incapable of remembering other peoples’ schedules. So with my friend’s 47th birthday coming up in a week, I decided I would make her an awesome Fall-themed birthday cake. After a few minutes (okay, a few hours. There’s some sort [...]
You know what my favorite kinds of desserts are? (Other than ones that someone else makes and brings to my house so I don’t have to actually do anything) Ones that are easy, delicious, and are born out of random afternoon cravings.

With Easter being only two days away, Ben and I took a trip to https://www.kmart.com this week to shop for our Godson’s (aka, Little Dude) gift.
