While I love to bake all year round, sometimes I try to sneak it in while the boys are in school so I can krank up some tunes and dance to my own beat in the kitchen. A little 'mommy time' if you will! But over the holidays, baking is a family activity and I wouldn't even think of starting a batch of cookies without calling the boys to the kitchen to be my little helpers! They do make the perfect taste-testers afterall! Have you ever seen one of those amazing Christmas trees made out of … [Read more...]

This year, I haven't even started anyone on my list. Partly because we did some travelling in November that occupied my time and thoughts, but mostly because I just don't know what to buy! So since I'm putting shopping off, I … [Read more...]
