Can I get a beat?
My 8 year daughter’s drum teacher had a birthday (in October, *gasp*) and his wife wanted a drum set for his cake. My daughter was so excited because she had to tell me about each drum and what it does and where it’s placed. To say she was a tough critic is putting it lightly. Continue reading “Can I get a beat?”
Halloween Treats
I have a few Halloween treats that I wanted to share yesterday but just didn’t have a chance. First we have bones…Actually they aren’t real. I know, I fooled you, right? These are sugar cookie bones. Their real name is Boneyard Cookies. My son wanted me to try to make them and they turned outContinue reading “Halloween Treats”

I poured the mixture into aContinue reading “Chocolate Bacon Almond Bars”

My kids started back to school today. All three of them, all day long! They deserved aContinue reading “Back To School”
Green Things
March is a fun month in this house. While we aren’t Irish, we do celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. My son loves all things green and it kind of represents the Spring is right around the corner for us. So more green things appear, like the grass and the buds, etc. So I decided to tryContinue reading “Green Things”
Cuppies for Cadets
Today my son and I went to the Air Force Academy to celebrate the February birthdays in Squadron Six! We took along red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing and they were pretty much devoured by the end of the day. We love celebrating their birthdays. I may have to think of something green forContinue reading “Cuppies for Cadets”
