A friend of mine is AMAZING when it comes to making cakes and decorating them.  She has made all kinds of cakes but this one literally — takes the cake!  She made this Onyxia Dragon Cake for her husband’s birthday one year, and I asked her if I could share them on my blog, and she gave me the A-Okay – so be amazed at her creativity!  From start to finish – here’s how she made this masterpiece.

Today I have a fun and fabulous giveaway on behalf of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!, that will help you host any party that comes your way!

Hollywood’s biggest night for movies is upon us, and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! is excited to announce an online ULTIMATE Red Carpet Viewing Party on Sunday, February 26th on Facebook. The show will include a roundtable discussion with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and a food and wine expert known for her delicious recipes. They hope you can join them for this fun night full of glitz and glam!

Last October when we drove down to Texas, there were plenty of times we needed the air conditioner on – if only just to take the humidity out of the vehicle. The first time my husband turned it on, I had to stop to catch my breath.

It smelled like…

We’ve been purging in our home lately, and as we were digging through the depths of plastic tote bins, the musty smell of the 80’s assaulted our noses. If someone told me that something good from the 80’s was coming back, I wouldn’t have seen it working, it almost never does.

But I’m finding myself occupied with the Big G cereals and Atari’s ‘Retro’ roots, with classic packaging on the boxes and video games like Asteroids, Missile Command, and Centipede. Uh-Oh!

Quite surprising to most people that know my family – we have never owned “real” cell phones. By that I mean ones that we actually ‘use’.

About 10 years ago we bought a Tracfone for me to have for emergency purposes. That’s all we ever used it for. So it sat at the bottom of my purse most of the time, and was brought out on occasion if the school called me to get Amber when she wasn’t feeling well.

I have never seen a site quite like Kidlandia before.  Considering kids often think that they are the center of the universe, it’s fitting to create products that essentially do just that!

You know that time where if your parents would have let you decorate your bedroom any way you wanted to, with money being no object, and you would have chosen to put twin bunk beds in your room.

It makes me a little sad that I never had a set growing up. I mean, my sister and I shared a room back at that age, and we had twin beds.

The Keurig single serving coffee brewer is one of the best inventions ever, maybe right up there with the toaster.  I sure would like to have been the person who thought up of it.

We’re all busy, and a good cup of coffee should be available in your own home for a good price.  You shouldn’t have to have to go to a café to get one and have to spend $5.00 for it.
