Christmas in August?

(Molly and St. Nicholas- I think he promised her a pony!) So recently Molly has been having trouble taking naps. And to try to get her some much needed sleep, I’ve taken to driving her all over the city we live in. One benefit of this has been my learning the geography of the area a little better-...

A Giveaway from Stonyfield Farms!

Triple Lemon Fairy cakes!

These cupcakes are based on an older Irish recipe I found. I changed quite a bit of it, including using box mix! It turned out tangy and lemony sweet though! Plus, it’s WAY faster and easier to make than the original “from scratch” version. Thought I’d pass it on! Happy Baking:) YOU...

Conversation.

Below is a conversation between Molly, my almost one year old and her Daddy. One of the funniest things about my husband is that he has an odd sense of humor, and sometimes it can be hard to tell if he’s joking or being serious. (Molly practicing “G” sounds, while sitting on the floor...
