We thought it would be fun to do a taco truck birthday theme this year so we called on our friend Sarah to do this really fun cake topper for the “mom made cake”. I basically just said, let’s do something fun and Sarah took off with the idea. I mean, how cute did it […]

In our house we have a tradition where we get the kids a “fancy” store bought cake and then I make them a homemade “mom” cake. It helps make the birthday celebration last a little longer! I have to admit, with all the things that I bake, cakes are not my jam. I can never […]

We had a moment when we went through a very serious shark phase. We took out every single book from the library about sharks, I could tell you every shark’s name and some fun cocktail party fact about them. This came right after our dinosaur phase. My friends made us this incredible cake for the […]

We threw in some Crayola fabric markers and it was up to each friend’s imagination to create the bag of their dreams. Perfect […]

Desserts are my favorite – I think you should eat them first. We bake desserts for friends for all the holidays, it’s our love language. I usually don’t make sandwich cookies of any kind, because I just can’t handle the extra step, but we had some fancy jam, and, these seemed like a fun idea […]

I love a good m&m cookie on Valentine’s Day. They just give a good pop of color and a nice hearty cookie with a crunch on the outside that I love. Our neighbors love these too, they even request the crunchier the better 🙂 I know that snackle boxes are the new thing, but I […]

Are you always trying to keep things new and exciting for your kids? I can never keep up with all the things they see on social media. I tried to get a little crafty and take some inspiration from those ornament wreaths I saw over Christmas. I whipped out the hot glue gun and started […]
