June 3, 2024 Let’s Fly! Paper Airplane Birthday Cake

Every year for the kids, I get them one “fancy” cake (read: professional), and then one cake that I make. My son has been very in to making paper airplanes, so naturally, I made him paper airplane cake toppers. I Googled some colorful maps, printed them out and carefully folded them into small planes.

May 31, 2024 Out of the Box Birthday Gift Idea

Sometimes I get stuck on birthday gift ideas. I get into this rut of the same craft kits from Target, that, let’s be honest, are a little bit junky. After Easter I buy these buckets for about $1 each. They come with stickers, so you can personalize each one with the child’s name, or, you […]

June 10, 2019 Father’s Day

My husband is hard to shop for. Like, really hard to shop for. Before we started dating I thought of myself as a good gift giver – a thoughtful gift giver. But every time he opens a gift (that I think is just perfect), he makes ‘the face’, you know which one I’m talking about. […]

April 21, 2019 Easter

This year I hosted our annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt. The ladies of the ‘hood got together for some wine and ‘egg stuffing’ the night before – we had over 200 eggs. Sounds like a lot of eggs, but we had 30 kids – ranging from age 8 months to 12 years old. It was […]

November 7, 2018 Muffin House Cafe

So my dad loves the Muffin House Cafe’s muffins. We used to have to drive out to Medway to get him some, but now we don’t have to anymore. They just opened up another location in Natick, right next to Dairy Queen. The shop is small, there is one little table, so plan on getting […]
