Chris from Celebrations at Home and I are so excited to be hosting a LIVE CHAT on Tuesday April 19th at 11:00am EST on the BlogFrog CoffeeTalk Community, where we are community leaders. We’ll be talking all about Easter and Spring Entertaining and can’t wait to share and gather ideas! I’m in the middle of…
Sour Cream Coffee Cake Breakfast Cupcakes
Please excuse the cell phone picture of these cupcakes. I baked these solely for the intent to eat them (which I happily did) but after I posted the picture of Instagram, I had more requests for the recipe than I was expecting… So, for those of you waiting, and those of you who are…
Spring Clean Your House
The cold weather may not be completely gone for the season, but there has been enough Spring-like sunshine, warm rain, and blossoming trees and flowers to serve as a sign that Spring is officially here. Like many others, I feel an urge to clean my house in the Spring. After months of having the windows…
Mug Shots
I was reading Mom Spark the other day and came across a fun post: Coffee Mugs that Tell a Story. After reading Amy’s post, I walked to my kitchen, found my 6 favorite mugs, set them out on the kitchen table, and started taking pictures with my new iPhone. My kids apparently thought I had…

So you can imagine my surprise (and giggles) when I found the other side of the bed empty when I woke up this morning. I found CandyMan asleep on the family room couch,…
Valentine’s Day, Mom Style
I spent last night on the couch. What a way to spend Valentine’s Day Eve. No, we weren’t fighting. I just couldn’t sleep over the snoring. This morning, I’m heading to a double dentist appointment for kids #2 and #3. Twizzler has his first two cavities that need to be filled. I admit I didn’t…
I Heart My Boy
As much as mother could love a child, I love this little boy. I adore him. I smother him with kisses every day, and he reciprocates. Often more than I might prefer. I can count on finding him asleep in my bed when I wake up in the mornings a few times a week. Yesterday,…
Introducing the Coffee Talk Community
I feel compelled to start out by disclosing that I am not a coffee drinker. I never have been and I don’t plan on adding it into my morning routine. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love the community that coffee often inspires. And I love anything that brings women together for easy-going, laid-back girl…
